Grayson & Liam ~ May Photos

Grayson and Liam are having such a fun time hanging out this summer.  They love going to the park and spending time with friends.  One of their best friends is Jack, who happens to be our old neighbor.  I have a feeling the bond between these two will only grow stronger this summer as they spend more time together.   

Gibson's Italia

Craig and I went to Gibson's Italia for dinner and had fun looking at the amazing views and atmosphere.  

Big Shoulders Gala

Craig and I went to the Big Shoulders Gala at the Hilton.  We had fun at the event and then went to the rooftop of Joy District.  It's always fun to get dressed up for a fun event like this for a good cause.

Grayson's Last Day of School

Grayson's last day of school at AACA was Wednesday, May 23rd.  His teacher was Ms. Worrell (main teacher), Ms Alice and Ms. Shari.  They were such wonderful teachers and he learned so much from them.  Grayson learned how to spell his name. learned to write the alphabet and how to count to 100 (they said this is a big accomplishment and not one that most kids accomplish).  The teachers told us every year there is one child that excels in building marble mazes and this year it was Grayson.  He has grown so much in the last year.  I love seeing the first day of school vs the last day of school.  I went to his end of year school party at the blue park with his class and it was cute to see them play together.  The next day was his last day of school.  Daddy and I picked him up from school and took him to Sweet Mandy B's for cupcakes.  We are so proud of him and can't wait to see what the future holds for our sweet Grayson. 

Liam's Last Day of School (Tots Program)

Liam did the tots program at AACA on Tuesdays with his nanny Marta.  His teacher was Ms. Shari, who also helped Grayson's class during nap time.  She is such a sweet lady and he adored her, as seen from the kissing picture.  He had fun doing artwork (one from his nanny Marta and one from Bubbles Academy).  Next year Liam will be going to AACA for the preschool - 3 year old program for 3 days a week am (8am - 11am).  We are very excited he got into this program and can't wait to see how he likes preschool.  

Mother's Day

I had a great Mother's Day with my boys and mom.  Grayson made the cutest present (Mother's Day list, You are my sunshine bag and a picture).  Daddy bought a couples massage at Aire Ancient Baths that I can't wait to use.  We had dinner at Roka Akor and spent the night together handing out.  I'm so lucky to have the best boys!  

New Jersey Trip

Oma, the boys and I flew to Philadelphia (New Jersey) to visit my brother John, my sis-in-law Sue and nephew Tommy from Thursday, May 3rd - Monday, May 7th.  The night before Grayson threw up four times and we weren't sure if we would be able to fly.  Luckily the next day he felt much better so we took the chance and headed to New Jersey.  As Tommy's godmother it was really important for me to watch him make his first communion.  The boys adore Tommy so they had a lot of fun spending time together.  The first night we went to dinner at one of our favorite places there, Squan Tavern and then went out for ice cream.  The next night we went to Tommy's cub scouts ceremony where he moved up to the next level.  They had a cook out, camp fire and played kickball.  The boys sat right next to Tommy at the ceremony and had the best time with him.  At one point Liam was sitting in the middle with his arms around Tommy and Grayson.  They had so much fun.  The next day was the first communion with the church service and party at their house.  During the ceremony Liam kept telling me his tummy hurt so I was worried he was going to have the same thing Grayson had so we headed to the hallway.  Liam also threw up, but luckily only once and then was better.  Mia and Lilly came to the communion party so all the cousins hung out and had the best time.  They played in the jumpy house, made huge homemade bubbles and set off rockets.  I love to see the bond between my boys and my cousin Mia's kids as well as my nephew Tommy.  We had the best time hanging out as children with all of my cousins so I love to see the next generation spending time together.  Sunday we went to the boardwalk and the boys had so much fun.  Grayson went on his first roller coaster with his aunt Sue and cousin Tommy and loved it.  He wanted to go back on the roller coaster so I went on it with him.  I always loved roller coasters as a child, but now can't handle them as well, but I had the best time.
