Staffaroni Barbeque

After we found out Mike got the job in Connecticut. We decided to have an impromptu BBQ. It was amazing that everyone could come and didn't have plans for a sunny day in the summer. We had a great time and Jackson loved hanging out with all of his cousins.

Mommy and Jackson

Uncle Pat, Aunt Marge, and Daddy

Aunt Michelle, and all of Jackson's cousins.

Jackson hanging out with Carly. He loves being around her!

Great Grandma Faye and Great Grandpa Gene

Kidcity Children's Museum

We spent the afternoon with Laura, Charlie and Louis playing around in an awesome museum in Middletown!!! Jackson had a blast hanging out with his cousin Louis. This museum is great and will definitely be the first thing we do with visitors who come to see us in Connecticut :)

Hanging out with Daddy and working on the model trains.

This has been an ongoing project in the Staffaroni basement. Mike has been working on these trains for almost 15 years, because for 11 he has been living in Hawaii. Anyway, Jackson loves trains and couldn't wait to help Daddy with everything.

Success! Showing Grandma and Grandpa that they work!

Good times playing in the rain!

SeeSaw Time!!!

The weather was gorgeous so we decided to go check out the Cheshire Community Park. It rocks with all the amount of outdoor toys to play with! Jackson will definitely have plenty to do when he stays with Grandma and Grandpa.

Jackson and Daddy being funny and wearing each other's slippers.

Jackson and Daddy took the turtle for a walk to the beach.

Fisher-Price turtle from a very long time ago. They just don't make toys they way they used too!

Hanging out and playing.

Next Stop! Cheshire

Cooking with Grandma and making yummy chocolate cake!

Hanging out at the outlets while we are looking for winter clothes!

Jackson's first time to Sesame Place

Jackson and Elmo

Jackson with Bert and Ernie

His favorite thing to do was to play with the fire truck.

Daddy and Jackson with Cookie Monster

Jackson had a wonderful time at Sesame Place, so much that we knew we could go back twice. Sesame Place knows how to make money because your admission for one day is the same as a two-day pass.

Hanging out with Daddy in the pool!

My adorable niece, Skylar!

Hanging out in the pool.

Already loves 4 wheelers like her daddy.

So precious :) Skylar is such a happy little one year old. She was so much fun to hang out with.

Hanging out with Pappy!

Papaya survived the 12 hour flight to Pennsylvania. Jackson had a great time helping to get her used to Pappy's house. Thanks again Dad and Christine for helping us out and taking good care of Papaya.

We miss you Papaya :)

First stop in Pennsylvania, Twin Kiss

Twin Kiss is a little drive up restaurant that I love to go to when we come home to Pennsylvania. They have great ice-cream and food and you can eat outdoors which is great for Jackson. They actually have deer that you can feed too. They have a white deer that for some reason...Jackson thought was an elephant :)

Chasing Nana and hanging out with GG.

Hanging out before we go on vacation

Before we went to the East Coast for our fun adventure. I took Brooke and Makenzie for a couple of hours so Monica could pack and get organized for their 45 day trip to Pennsylvania.

I was able to get one picture of all of the kids, however Makenzie wasn't too happy about not being able to roam around.

The adorable Makenzie.

Hanging out and talking on the phone!

Happy Birthday Jackson and Brooke

This year and Jackson and Brooke celebrated their birthday in June. We had the party theme as bugs and butterflies. The kids went on a bug hunt and had a lot of fun. I still can't believe they are turning 3!
