Fantasy Island With The Gang



 While my sister Sarah and family recently visited WNY, 
Many family members met at Fantasy Island to watch the kids have a blast!

First stop, the carousel! 

Ian and Uvonne check out Aunt Joy having a good time behind them!

How did mom (Sarah) get to ride alone?

There's dad (Gooch) with Malcolm

The train was a hit.

Weston's turn to drive
Uvonne could have driven the plane all day, giving Weston a ride.



Malcolm was just happy to get out of the wagon


The sisters were just happy to be together!

Cassidy Turns One

Heather and Andy had a beautiful outdoor party for our little Cassidy.
It's hard to believe that she is already 1!

Such a great mom
Cassidy loved the cards the most- will she always be so easy to please?


She was so pleasant and fun the whole party.




A very lady-like start to the whole 1st birthday cake thing


Once she got a taste of the sugar- she didn't let us down.


Benny did great considering he wasn't getting any presents.
But he did get lots of attention from all the guests.


Bubbles are always so fun!


A little loving abuse from Uncle Chris


She is walking with help now

Heather takes the best pictures

Love this picture
(Stole it from Heather's blog too)


One last stolen picture- I love this baby!

Family Game Night- So Much Fun!

While Justin & Katie were visiting we (of course) had family game night.

Never use sports terminology in a made up definition when you're a girl!
We love you Kate!
That's not Balderdash!!!



A great game if you're good at fabricating the truth.
Did I tell you I won :) 



Love having our kids home!


Family Visit With Justin & Katie

Justin and Katie made the trip to visit us last weekend. 
Aaron Lewis had a Fund Raising Concert near by so we got to spend the weekend with them.
We were also glad that Danielle could come and spend a day with us!

Saturday we Googled some fun and found Nomad's Adventure Quest 
(kind of a knock-off Dave & Busters)

We started with Black Light Mini Golf.
The flash lit it up, it was way cooler in the dark!


The guys team blew the girls away!


Yes, that is Ken, wrestling an alligator!


Pretty


Yes, that is Ken, being eaten by a dinosaur!
 Danielle to the rescue!


The arcade was not as awesome as Dave and Buster's but we made due.

Don't mess with Ken when he is holding a gun!


The boys spent about a half hour competing on a hunting game. 
Ken says Chris crushed them. 


Hummm- How did he get so good at video game ???


Air Hockey


Roller coaster


Girls like to shoot too!


Danielle and Chris bustin a move!


You may want to watch the action... Check out my timeline on Face Book

We can have fun anywhere!!!

Prim cess

Her name is Prim, my brother in-law Ted, coined her nickname (she is) 
Yes, Prim from Hunger Games :) 
I have taken an embarrassing amount of pictures of her-
I'll TRY to keep this post within reason!

She was a Mother's Day gift from Gabby.
With Ken's umm, blessing may not be the right word.


Let's say with Ken's resignation to the whole cat thing.
Don't worry about him- now he's definitely smitten.



Ken's feet :)

So, one concern was the dog... Prim hissed & arched for a few days. 
Sadie learned to give her a wide breadth when passing by. 
I think 45 pound Sadie was a little scared of the maybe 2 1/2 pound Prim. 
It didn't take long before they really started getting along.


Now Prim is fascinated with the dog and seeks her out to play or cuddle. 




They both like to hang out in the bathroom with me.




I forgot how fun kittens are. Sadie is not much of a player, 
she watches Prim and I think she is learning a few things!

Prim loves to watch the birds at our feeder.


Drink from the faucet


Play in the pillows on our bed


Sleep on us


Especially the shoulders, she will sit up there while you're walking around.


Just play, play, play!



She went to the Humane Society to get spayed last week. They said, 
"keep her from running, jumping, and playing for a week to 10 days."
Umm, right...


She's getting big :( long!



She is very social.


Awh...whiskers! 


In case you can't tell- I'm smitten too!
Thanks Gabby- I love her!!!
