Bowling Fun

Today was a fun day at Lancaster Lanes. We met up with Kaylee & Caleb for an afternoon of bowling. Scores were in the 60's & 70's!! Not too bad...Hannah & Kaylee taking a break.

Great job today guys:)
Gotta love the "between the legs" roll.

Quick Update

Wow, it's Friday!! It was a busy week. I worked everyday this week. I'm still in the process of getting use to working full time again. It's good to be back and in the swing of things. I love my job! All week we have been busy registering students and getting ready for the 31st season at Dance Spectrum!! Yesterday was our Open House, it was a huge success!

I can't believe that summer is about to end! Hannah will be starting 1st grade in a few short days and it will be back to just me and Kailyn during the day. Hannah has been a wonderful help and a great "Big Sister" all summer. It will be hard for me to send her off to school on Thursday!

We are still hoping to get in some, "last minute summer fun things", before Thursday. I'll keep you posted. Have a great weekend:)

Blue Eyes

Those eyes still make me melt. Love ya babe!!

Daddy & His Girls

I guess after looking back at all the pictures from the lake, I have to say that these are my two favorites. I have a picture from when Hannah was Kailyn's age. Just like this one, her & Bri walking into the sunset. I was so excited to be able to capture this great moment:)

The Yearly Picture

It all started 6 years ago, when Hannah was playing Peak-a-boo behind a tree with Aunt Barb. Aunt Barb was quick to snap a picture. Every year since then we make sure to get a picture of Hannah behind that same tree.This year I was excited to add Kailyn to the tradition.
She jumped right in, having no problem learning what to do.

Hard to believe it all started when Hannah was Kailyn's age. Wow how the time goes by.

Sunset Bay

What a wonderful week... This week was our yearly visit to "the cottage" at the lake. Sunset Bay Beach has been a tradition for many many years. I have wonderful memories and I'm so excited to watch the girls make some of their own. As soon as we crossed over the tracks on Sunday, Hannah yelled, "We're at the cottage!!"It sure has earned it's name, Sunset Bay...
Unfortunately, the week prior to us arriving, there was a bad rain storm. There was flooding throughout the town. All the docks at the marina were washed out to the lake. Many boats were missing. We even heard a story about a car being pulled from the lake. There was a lot of debris washed onto the beach. We saw trees, driftwood and a even a car tire with the rim still in it!

Aside from the remnants of the flood, it was still as beautiful and relaxing as ever.

Of course, the hottest week of the summer was this week. You know, the week you leave the comforts of home. (The ac & pools)

All in all, we survived the hottest week of the summer...

Go Bills!!!

Daddy made sure everything was taken care of for a great afternoon of tailgating. Hannah enjoyed throwing around the football and playing the Buffalo Bills, bean bag toss, game. In addition to the activities, we enjoyed subs from Subway, Sunchips and drinks to keep us properly hydrated on this HOT afternoon.

Once inside the stadium, a quick pose for a picture...
...and another. Say Cheese:)

Hannah was excited to wear her pink Bills jersey to the game. However, it was to HOT to keep it on any longer then for the picture.

Final Score:
Bills 27 Bears 20


Go Bills!!!!!!!!!!

Hannah's First Buffalo Bills Game

Today we took Hannah to her first Bills Game. It was "Kids Day", even more reason to see the game:) It was a HOT day!! We had a fun afternoon & evening.

87, 89, 87, 83

Know what those numbers are?? 87, 89, 87, & 83 are the expected highs for the next 4 days. Can you believe that? It's August 14th...Summer has finally arrived. And we are enjoying every moment of it!!Hannah and Kailyn enjoying some pool time together:)
Hannah with her noodle:)

K just floating around:)

The Bee Newspaper

Here it is...What we have been waiting all week for. The West Seneca Bee Newspaper...

So my dad calls on his way home from work to say that he just stopped and picked up 9 Bee newspapers (from 2 different locations) with Bri & Hannah's picture on the Front Page. Can you believe it?? Like BIG headline news!! Front Page:)

I have to say I was quite surprised when I saw the 5 x 7 picture taking up most of the front page!! Great job guys:)

Princess Camp

This was a fun and exciting week at Princess Camp. 3 days of crafts, stories, games, tea parties and finally "The Ball." Here is a picture of Princess Hannah wearing the dress she wore 2 years ago for Danielle & Mike's wedding. Other then the length, it fit her just fine:)
Princess Hannah took a moment to pose with Kailyn for a quick picture before the festivities began. I'm not sure if the bigg smile on K was from posing with her sister OR the fact that she learned how to escape out of the stroller.
And now for the ball...

Keicher Cookout and Finally, some Pool Fun!!

Today started rainy & stormy and ended rainy & stormy. However, in between, we managed to get a cookout in along with some pool time:) Mom & dad invited us over for a cookout. In addition to Bri, the girls & I, they also invited my parents and Aunt Joann & Uncle Dick. Unfortunately, Chris & Liz had to stay home with Emily, who was feeling under the weather today. (Feel better Em, we missed you guys at the party)

It was a great cookout and the sun even came out for a bit. It was warm and muggy, so after dinner we agreed to let Hannah go into the pool. The 75 degree water was a bit chilly for the rest of us though. After pool time, Bri took the girls for a ride around on the tractor. They had a blast. It was great just sitting and relaxing around the pool.

A Night With ELVIS & The Boys of Summer

What a fun night. Tonight, at the Southgate Plaza, was Hot Summer Night. (Or so one would like to call it.) We watched a 3 hour concert featuring The Boys of Summer and, Hannah's Favorite, Elvis.

Would you believe that Hannah was spotted on her daddy's shoulders by a photographer with the West Seneca Bee. Yes, a picture similar to this one will be in the West Seneca Bee this Thursday 8/13. So be on the lookout. I will as well. Don't worry if you miss it, I'm sure we will have many extra copies!! In the meantime Hannah will be practicing her autograph!!

Now it just wouldn't be fair of me to post a picture of daddy with one of his girls and not the other little girl. Right?? So here she is:)

Once again, I'm not sure who I had more fun watching. I guess it would have to be Kailyn...She had quite the fun evening. Looks like her face tells it all.

What a great way to end the night!!

A Visit With Grandpa

This morning I took the girls for a visit with Grandpa. He looks great and was very excited to see all of us. (just having a little hard time remembering things) We were waiting for him because he was getting a haircut when we arrived. We love you gramps!!
