Trip to PA 2: Brielle was in town!

A fer weekends ago, we went to PA to visit with family. My cousin Brielle was in town, it was my cousin Matt's birthday AND my Grandparent's wedding anniversary. I briefly spoke to my Aunt Reenie and Uncle Jim (over skype). They are on a mission in Africa and asked me to take a bunch of pictures. Well... here they are!

Cousins... all grown up!

We wanted to get a picture of all of the kids with their Great Grandparents. It took a few shots!

It was suprisingly difficult to get this shot!

My birthday- from Quinn

She wasn't kidding.

Don't you just love the tattoo sleeves? (or checkered sunglasses? or lovely/bright pink hat?!?!)
They fit Quinn as leg warmers.


and what about this awesome hat with the feather???





She did also get me plastic dinosaurs which as soon as I opened them she asked to play with. haha. I love my little girl. She got me everything that she loves. To her, it was the best stuff ever. and to me, well...
it made me smile.

hats, dinosaurs, and tutus

Dan and Quinn went shopping for my birthday presents last night. When they got back in they immediately wrapped the gifts so that I couldn't peek. They used Pooh Christmas wrapping paper. :) Quinn had so much fun that she decided to try to wrap some of her toys to give me.

Then today I was feeling sneaky. I thought that I would get Quinn to tell me my presents. After all, she is two and doesn't know that it is supposed to be a surprise.

Guess what she told me...
Hats, dinosaurs and tutus
(mind you tutus are her washable tattoos that she loves and is obsessed with right now)

now I am more confused...

and a little scared!

Date in Atlantic City

Dan and I went to Atlantic City to see our favorite comedian a few weeks ago. (Jim Gaffigan) We had a lot of time to kill while we drove so we (I) took random pictures of our reflections in the mirrors. Yes, I know we are (I am) weird. We also tried to predict how each Raven (football) player was going to be this season by finding their number's corresponding song on our iPod in shuffle. It was actually really fun. It is amazing what silly activities you can come up with during road trips!

I love our date nights!!!

Mom's Visit

Mom came up here in late July to visit with Quinn. They are becoming great buddies.

Notice that they have matching shirts?!?!

Mom decided that I already took enough pictures in this one! hehe

Quinn, Mom, and I met up with Grandma and Grandpa T. for Mom's birthday lunch.

After lunch, we decided to do some shopping in all of the cute little shops that North East has to offer.

Grandpa and Quinn chatted a little while the ladies shopped.

After Grandma and Grandpa left, we stayed for a while longer.

Mom and Quinn got yummy ice cream!

Then Mom shopped 'til Quinn literally dropped. She would find a place to sit at every store!

Other days, Mom and Quinn baked.

and made crafts (which Quinn says "CRAPS")

Quinn had such a great time with Mom here!!
