Olarra BBQ

The Saturday of 4th of July weekend, the Olarra's had a party, as they usually do.  Sad that this may be the last year it happens here. 
The kids being photogenic as usual....well Mya at least, lol!

Hammock fun.

Oh Ash!

Got em all on.

I literally just can't take these pics.

These 3 cuties.

POOL TIME!!!!!

The littles with Titi.  LOVE this.

Good times, as usual!

4th of July

Just a little throwback to 2 4th of July's ago!  I can't even take how big my littles have gotten.  I totally remember this 4th, they let me dress them, GONE are those days!  Ash even let me brush her hair, gone are those days too!  LOL!  Love watching these girls grow into themselves.  Watching them learn new things, mold into who they will become.  I couldn't feel more blessed. 

Fast forward to this 4th!  We went to the Milltown parade, our annual tradition and happened to run into Mya's friend from Pre-K, Lia!  Mya was psyched!  Here was our line up.

Best buds.

Ash was loving getting candy.  Surprisingly my kids are picky when it comes to free candy.  Most of the candy they got, they'd put it in Ava or Jojo's bags.  LOL!

I can't take her faces.

Ava and Jojo getting some goodies.

We had a great time at the parade and followed that by our 2nd annual trip to my (future) sister in law's dad's beach house on Normandy beach.  SO MUCH FUN!  Next year better be nicer weather though. 

The girls with Uncle Ma-ul.

Twin moments...

Even though it was a bit chilly, we still had to get our toes in the sand and hang on the beach.  The only people in the water were surfers, which was fun to watch. 

She needs to work on her hand placement!

Yea, Ash too!

Her happy place.  The water was so rough.

Ash collecting shells.

My life...

The girls were having fun climbing up the sand and jumping.  Ash would hold on to Mya to get herself up there.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Had to share the video.

Loving this!

Then they started doing it their selves.

Another video.

I just love the ocean, so peaceful.

Mya and Ashley hung with Laura's cousins when we were there too.  They got along so well coloring and drawing.  Mya had to show them how she makes her envelopes too!

Mya was in awe over Max, was driving Ryan crazy!

LOL!

Mya and one of her favorites.

Love birds.

You know who had to jump in for that lovin.

Family....you can't break us!

Their house is amazing.  Just so nice to be right on the ocean.

We stayed late for the fireworks, like last year.  And I drank entirely too much, but had a blast as usual!

The kids had glow sticks.  Always fun times.

We hope everyone had as much fun as we did! 

June iphone dump

June is long gone...time to recap!

Love capturing these moments.  Our girls share a room, a small room, so the best option we had, when getting them out of our bed, was to get them a queen sized bed.  They're cuddlers, so we thought it would be the best transition.  Best decision we ever made.  Cuddle moments are the best!

In celebration of finding out he's got some Irish in him, he's got to take down a Guinness.  Gotta stay true to his family heritage!

Sleepy moments at titi's.

Dewey let Mya and Ash pick his very first peony in the garden.  LUCKY GIRLS!

Love you always and forever ever...

These guys...

Play date moments with Lia.

Meanwhile, the littles are climbing the slide.  Lucas has a man's favorite view....LOL!

Such a gentleman.

One of Mya's friends from school, Addy, had a birthday party right after school was out.  These girls are so cute together and all got along so well.  I'll miss this next year, but know she'll make new friends along the way.

Mya and Addy checking out her butterfly.

LOL!

Moments with Ash....

Old school barbie toys are the best!

Mya's school camp pic.  Probably the only time Mya and Willie will be in a class together.  SO CUTE!

Throwback moments....OMG look at Jojo and Ash.

Before my stella and dot party, took a pic of Gia and Jack to show the girls!

A little throwback that my cousin, Johnny posted (2nd in on right), right next to the US goalie, Tim Howard.  Kinda cool that they went to HS together and were boys.  GO USA!

Playing outside one day, Mya had me dying, rockin jean shorts and a bikini top. 

The rabbids, this pic was for Dewey from Mary.  This show is so awful, just stupid, but Dewey loves it, lol!!!!

Rockin Titi's bikini top one day.  DYING!

Ash and Mya wanted to see the birthday hat one day.  I made this for Mya's first birthday.

She tried on this baby hat too, too funny!

BEST TEXT EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Love this girl and so lucky I get to be a part of her special day.

Love that they get to spend so much time together, although I wish I was there too.

Check out all her curls, I can't even take it.
