Today Brianna is 9 months old! I can’t believe how fast the time is flying by. She is such a little sweetheart and cutie pie, and she’s also a little firecracker sometimes! Her personality is really starting to come through!


Happy 9th Month Day, Brianna!

Last week we went to the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo with Sam & Kim & their boys. It was a fun time, and having the two babies along made it even more interesting!

game night

Sometimes it’s fun to have company over for an evening of games! So, a little over a week ago, that’s what we did! We also had pizza, appetizers, snacks and desserts. It was a fun party!

The games we played were Corn Hole (an Amish outdoor game), Catch Phrase, Balderdash, Chubby Bunny and Oodles of Doodles.


Playing Balderdash. From left to right: Brian, Katie, Angel, Ally, Joi, Karisha and Jon.


Chubby Bunny is where each person tries to stick the most marshmallows in their mouth and still say “chubby bunny!”
Angel (on the left) won, with a total of 9 marshmallows.


The kids also played a few video games. Here is Zoe, Silas and Natie.


Here’s a couple desserts at the party. On the left is a s’mores-type dessert that Jon and Karisha brought. It was awesome! On the right is a Fruity Cheesecake from kraftfoods.com that I made. Joi cut up the fruit though.

Can’t wait till next game night!
