Finn's 1st birthday!

Finn is 1! It's hard to believe a year has already passed. Our sweet, bright eyed boy brings us such overwhelming joy! Their Mimi & Papa were here for his birthday. We celebrated in the evening with family and a few neighbors. Earlier in the day, we went to our neighbor's house to celebrate Sadies 1st birthday (the 2 of them were born at the same hospital). To see the pictures from the big day, and the rest of Mimi & Papa's visit, click here.

2nd Arimo Supper Club

We had our 2nd Arimo Supper Club last Sunday. Our neighbors Colleen & Matt hosted and it was a Mediterranean theme this time. The kids all looked so cute having dinner at the little table.
All of the food was fantastic!
Finn had fun with some new toys.
The kids had fun with Dean

Furry friend

Finn made a furry friend at a birthday party that we went to last weekend. It was the perfect size puppy!

First movie in a theater

Olivia saw her first movie in a theater on Saturday- she and Dean got to go see Toy Story 3 before it came out at Pixar. She lasted through the whole thing and loved it!

And away he goes...





Going to the park

We play so much outside at home that we hardly ever end up going to the park. On this day, we decided to pick up some lunch and eat it at the park. Here we go...





Finn LOVED going down the slide!

Scooter girl

Olivia spends almost every spare moment riding up and down the block on her new scooter. It took no time at all for her to get the hang of it, and each day she gets faster and more daring.

Coloring with chalk



Finn likes to eat the chalk almost as much as he likes to draw with it.

Mothers Day gift from O


When I picked Olivia up at school today she gave me this plant and a container of homemade bath salts. Olivia must have taken really good care of her seeds because hers were the tallest and fullest out of everyones.

Olivia's 3rd Birthday (and Gma & Gpa's visit)

Olivia turned 3!
She asked for a "Cars" party- with Lightning & Mater. Grandma Abby & Papa Orie were here for the festivities. While they were here we did a lot of projects outside. Lots of gardening- including a new butterfly garden which will be a lot of fun to watch grow. To see all of the pictures from their trip- including her birthday party- click here.

New Toy Story 3 Fun!

We met Dean for lunch at work to see the new Toy Story theme in the atrium.


Lego Woody & Buzz






Inaugural Arimo kids BBQ


A neighbor and I organized a BBQ for all of the younger kids on the block (and the parents). The first one was held at our house and we hope to have one every month at a different families house. It was a beautiful evening and everyone had a lot of fun! To see the pictures, click here.
