8 Month pics

I am now over a month behind in my postings, but hopefully I can catch up in a week or so. Libby is now 9 months old, but I haven't yet posted her 8 month pics, so I thought I'd do that first. We went to Cove park and had a great time on a beautiful day. Sorry if these are all very similar. I picked my favorites out of about a hundred, so this is definitely a limited list, but we didn't have much variety in the pictures, so they are similar.

I love her hand in this one!

And she made the cutest face!!

Hanging out on a swing. I love the sailboats in the background.

So happy to be posing for me! :)

I think I'm going to have to frame this one! I think this was Matt's favorite.

I think she was looking at the sailboats!

Love what she does with her hands!

Clapping.

Another black and white of her looking off into the distance. :)

Love this one!

Here is one in color. I don't know where that strawberry blonde hair came from!

She looks ready to beat someone up in this one. :)

Cute.

Another cute face.

Another cute pose.

Her little injured toes.

Watching some kids go by. She loves people watching!

And smiling at strangers and friends alike!

Last one.

Dad's Birthday Party Continued

Here are the last of the chosen pictures from Dad's Birthday.

Ben, Ashley and I. Woohoo!

Is that Elvis? Weait, it looks like my Dad!
We love Elvis!

Twirling! Nicole and Tara.

Surprise, Dad! He just got back from golfing.

Uncle John and Aunt Donna. Elvis and 50's mom. Very convincing.

These are some great pics of a fifties mom!

Even better!

We went downstairs to find the guys playing Beatles Rock Band. Rock on!

It's actually very fun!

Notice the "groupies" on the couch.

It was so fun playing Dad's birthday gift, Beatles Rock Band. If you've never played before, you should give it a try.

Dad's Birthday Party

Here are some pictures from Dad's surprise 50th Birthday. Mom did a great job planning the whole fifties themed party. It was so fun! I've got more pictures to post, but for now here are the ones I loaded.

Ben and Uncle John. Pool Sharks. :)

Matt and Uncle Jim. Taking it all in.
Intense game of pool? Or a posed shot? You guess. :)
All the guys dressed in their "fifties" white t-shirts and rolled up jeans.

The girls in their Poodle skirts and fifties garb.

Uncle John's preffered method of playing Rock band.

Mom and Dad swinging away. So cute!

Ashley and her two nieces.

Libby is getting a little too physical. She loves her friends, but likes a hands on approach. Maybe becuase we're pretty hands on with her. And giving her a thousand hugs and kisses a day. :)

Head to head. Lucy looks pretty intimidating here.

Libby, again being physical. Or maybe she's just laying her hands on Lucy?

The girls were so cute playing "tag" on the floor at like 11 o'clock PM. Lucy would scootch away and then look back for Libby to follow, waving her on. They were sooo funny! I wish I had caught it on video!


Ben and Brianna. We can't wait to see you guys in October. Ben, hope Florida is treating you well. Bri, hope school is going well!

Uncle Jim and Aunt Karen. What are they watching that is so entertaining?

Ashley... singing the U.G.L.Y. Song.

Great faces! Such a cheerleader!

Or Ben and Sam doing the evolution of dance! That was great! Twisting?

Or it could have been David, doing the Robot and crazy dancing. Didn't get a picture of that up here.

That's it for now.
