X-mass photo shoot

The Great LaPorte County Fair

As I am moving some photos around, I thought I would post these photos from the fair.

Singing in the rain

My attempts to keep this kids out of a puddle failed.

At the Park

One of the many parks we go to often...

Wiggles!!!

Grandma Rondi surprised us with a Wiggles concert. They put on a great show. We met up with the newest Wiggles "Sam" after the show for a photo. It was an experience Ava will never forget.

Aiden Rides

Aiden and I did a photo shoot over the weekend on my old Honda 750 Bobber I am making. He loved it and was a great model to shoot.

Happy 4th of July!!

Boating!!

We spent a day on Pine Lake in LaPorte, IN which was the kids first time on a boat. They were great! Pine Lake has a loose alligator in the lake that has not yet been caught. Needless to say, the kids stayed in their seats pretty well.

Faces...

Party in the Park!

LaPorte host local music talent in the summer months who volunteer their time for a free concert in the park on Thursdays. The kids love it an usually dance the entire time. What a great time!

Indy Baby!!!

My sister Laurie invited my Dad and good friend Eric to attend the Indy 500 Pole Day. Her offer included passes to her company’s suite and pit passes to Gasoline alley. It was AWESOME! The highlight of the day was getting a photo of my Dad meeting Mario Andretti! We had a great time. Congrats on the win Helio! And thanks Lauire!

Awwwww.....

Addison was very upset that she could not have something her brother had... and then of course Granny comes to the rescue...

Winter Blues...

With such a long winter we've had, the kids have been waiting and waiting for the weather to break. Some days we just watch movies inside to pass the time.

Partners in Crime!

There is always trouble when Ava and Reghan get together.

Home Depot

Ava and I still frequent the Home Depot works shops every month when we can. Last month she built a jewlery box for Amanda for Mother's Day.

2009 Sock Hop!

The kids attended the 2009 Sock Hop this year and had a blast. We very surprised at how much the kids danced. All cousins were there and this was Brooklin's first Soc Hop. Aiden and Ava even won a costume contest. We were pooped out long before they were. Everyone had a great time.

Holiday Photos

Here are some Holiday photos I took in our living room. Ava is three and Aiden and Addison are one and a half years old now. Aiden was a bit fussy and would only take a photo if I sat with him. The kids had a great Christmas.

We moved in!!!

After as few months of home remodeling, we finally moved in just in time for Santa to come down the chimney. We gutted the kitchen, added new cabinets, granite counters, and all new plumbing. We also refinished the floors, added new lighting through out. The house looks great. Amanda and I owe great thanks to my dad and brothers for all of their help. My sister also did an outstanding job with our interiors. We are also very thankful to all the grandmothers for watching the kids over the last few months. Here is one shot of the main living room. We really love the character this 1950’s house has.

We bought a house!!!

After a long sit on the market, our home in Missouri finally sold. We are relieved. We quickly found an older home in town that was built in 1957. We are currently making some updates to it and will hopefully get moved in before Santa comes. The house has a lot of character including hardwood floors in every room, a nice fireplace with built in book shelves, and a laundry shoot to the basement. The home was owned by Helen who is 87 who lived there with her husband Roy for nearly 50 years. She was very excited to see the house sell to a family with young kids! Photos to come…
