Play Ball!

Safe at Home plate, complete with dirt on her face!

Josh's ball team had their end of the year party tonight, where they played a mini ball game and then ate some pizza.  Jaela was recently given the perfect outfit for the occasion, so she had to model it tonight, since there were perfect props readily available.  We had to wait until the team was done using the fields, because there was other stuff set up on them.

 

I love the leg in the air, it makes her look like she's getting ready to pitch

 

 

Making sure your uniform is on correctly is a very important part of the game

Family Pics

While we were in Maryland, We decided to do some family pics on the beach.  Our sister in law, Alina is well talented in photography and was gracious enough to take some pics for us.  Jaela fell asleep on the way to the beach, so she didn't feel like giving huge smiles in some of the shots.  But I still love the pics, they really came out good!

Mommy's girl!

Josh's request: family photos in Chelsea soccer jerseys

Mom, these glasses don't match my outfit!

Vacay

Ok, so I know you are heartbroken that I haven't updated the blog this whole month.  Here you are, obsessively checking our blog 52 times a day, in hopes that I have updated with more genius thoughts and adorable pictures of me, or maybe a picture or 2 of our baby.  I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Mom.  So, here it goes: pictures from our vacationapalooza events this month.

Jaela's 1st snow cone on 4th of July!

1st time in a pool-she really loved it!

Getting a little tired/hungry from all that swimming!

1st visit to the boardwalk and Thrasher's Fries!

Lovin some sand time!

Chillin with Mom-Mom Bussels-I think this is the only pic I have in 8 years with Mom-Mom looking at the camera!

With Uncle Brother at La Tolteca

with Grandpa Bill

She did so good traveling in the car.  On the way to Maryland, we drove at night so she could sleep.  On the way to Ohio, we drove during the day.  She only got fussy when she needed changed or hungry. 

Chillin again with Uncle Brother

For Aunt Alina-at least she's not crying in this pic!

Good times at the beach!  She had sand EVERYWHERE after playing.  I even had it down my clothes!  SO worth it though!
