Summer Fun

Gigi and I spend the majority of our time with Aunt Sara and Gigi's cousins (Zachary and Cayden). Since Mr. F is on graveyard shift Gigi and I have 3 to 4 days a week that need to be filled with activities. (side note: gigi is extremely social and needs to be out and about so we go go go.) Thankfully we have a community pool which we use 4 to 5 times a week.  


Today we spent the morning at Quail Botanical Gardens and then everyone went down for naps at Grandma and Poppy's house. Tonight we went down and hung out with about 30 of my neighbors at the park.  Friday Park night is the best - I live in such a great neighborhood. Here are some pics from the past couple of days. Raising kids with my sister is the hugest blessing. I could not do it without her and so appreciate her support especially since Mr. F works such long shifts (12.5 hours). I could write more but for now I have to get to sleep because my little princess will be up before I know it and boy is she giving me a run for my money. I think I might just have a strong willed child on my hands:). Looks like someone has a similar personality to her momma!




Sara and I thought we would take a picture of all three kids. As you can see we were not very successful

Everyone wanted their picture taken with the glasses on
Cayden Loves to Smile and he is such a Ham




Good Night Hugs




Attempting to get a picture of all three kids. Gianna is not much of a smiler
    


Cayden has the best sad faces 
Pony Tail Moms - hey at least we showered today:)

Our Vacation in Jackson Hole, WY

On June 29th we began our 15 hour journey to visit Frank's sister Christina in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The summers in Jackson are really amazing and we wanted to spend time with Zia Christina, Zio Dan and cousin Cash. Below are some pictures from our adventures thus far. Gianna did really well on the drive and we were happy because we were able to drive 11 hours the first day. We got into Utah around 1am and got right to sleep. We are so happy we came out here and feel blessed that we have been able to have some true quality time with our family. We went camping at Jackson lake for 3 days and now we are spending time at Christina and Dan's house.

These pictures are all out of order but oh well!

Gigi has been loving playing in the backyard - she has so much space to run and be free
She was playing with the hose and a little pool so we let her go naked

Zio Dan gave cash a bath and a new hairdo
We spent a couple days out on the boat

The water was very cold but that did not stop Gianna from playing in it

Aren't the Teton mountains amazing in the background
