Avalon 2011

We had so much fun on our family vacation to Avalon NJ. We played in the sand, swam in the pool, went to the boardwalk, pick up shells and much more. Thanks again to Grammy and Pappy for a wonderful vacation!

Bubbles

Belle and Samantha had so much fun playing with their new bubbles the Easter bunny brought them.

Easter Egg and Scavenger Hunt

These kids were troopers. No amount of rain was going to dampen their fun. They hunted in the rain and mud. Too much fun!!

Easter Angels

How cute are they?

Easter with the Putts

Belle had so much fun hunting eggs with Nathan and Avery.

Easter Morning

We had such a blessed Easter.

Finally a nice day!

The girls had so much fun playing outside. Belle loves the sandbox, Sammie is not to sure yet. They both liked riding in the wagon, and ice cream to finish the day was a big hit. Mommy shared her ice cream with Sammie. Think next time we will get her one for herself. She wanted to eat the whole thing. :)

Soccer practice

Isabelle had a lot of fun at her 1st soccer practice. She even scored a goal.

Princess Wishes!

Grammy and I took Belle to see Princess Wishes on ice. It was her 1st real show. She had such a great time. Ariel was her favorite one. Seeing her big smile when the show started was priceless!

Party Time! Again......

My baby is 1 year old. Where did the time go?

Fall Fest

Isabelle had a great time at fall fest playing with all the girls. They painted pumpkins, went down the slide and played games for lots of candy.

We had so much fun at the York Fair. Isabelle really likes riding the ferris wheel, and the little water boats.

Day out with Thomas

Today we went with Mimi for a day out with Thomas. It was so much fun. We got to ride on a real Thomas the train, and we did lots of fun activities.

We took the kids to Knoebels for the day. They all had so much fun on the rides. The fairest wheel was a favorite for most of them. Us "big kids" had fun too.

I can't believe that Samantha is 5 months already. She has started eating baby food and loves it! She is really getting active right now. Rolling over and trying to crawl. It wouldn't be long.

We had so much fun at the beach.

Enola Carnival

Tyler and Isabelle had a great time at the carnival. They road all kinds of rides together. I think they both like the cars the best. Or maybe the giant slide.

A day at the creek

Isabelle had so much fun taking Lucy to the creek for a swim. She liked throwing rocks the best. She would wave and say hi to all the people that were tubing by.

We had so much fun at Celebrate America. Isabelle loved all the blow up things and riding the pony. At the end of the night we sat and watched the fireworks. They were awesome!

Putt Family Picnick

Summer Fun!

The 8 of us got away for some much needed

R&R. We had a great weekend! Lots of fun and

laughs had by all. No kids, no schedules, no injuries......what could be better??

HOT! HOT! HOT!

We filled up the girls pool so they could cool off. Isabelle loves to go down the slide. Samantha was not a big fan of swimming in the pool. I'm sure it won't be long before she is splashing around with her big sister.

Pretty Girls

Isabelle and Samantha are both getting so big. Isabelle loves to hold her little sister!

Dress-Up

Isabelle loves to play dress-up now.
She likes to put on her jewelry, and
tiara and pretend she is a princess!
