Family Reunion

A few weekends ago we had the first Haas Family reunion in Zanesville. It was a lot of fun to see everyone and all the cousins got along really well. It was a weekend long reunion at grammie and grandpa's house. Now our cousin Claire is staying with us for a few weeks. Avery is very excited!!!

Some family had left by the time we got around to doing a group shot. But here are those who remained.

Daddy

I would like to take a minutes and say how wonderful Chris is as a husband and a dad. He is so hands on and loves to play with his kids. We are so lucky to have him. These pictures were taken around Fathers day. The one with him and the kids was on Fathers day in the morning. I took one just like it last year. The rest are just him and Jack playing. He LOVES is daddy and it is so sweet to see them together.

Avery's Dance Recital

Avery's dance recital was the second weekend of June. She got her hair done with Ashley and was so excited to get to wear make-up. But once we got there she wasn't so sure about going on stage. Chris and I weren't sure if she would actually go on stage, but to our surprise she did it and loved it!! By the end of the night when she got flowers presented to her she has had no problems with being on stage. She now tells me every now and then that she is a Star!






Avery and Anna are best-friends!




Ashley did such a great job I didn't want to take it out.

Jack's First Hair Cut

So we took jack to get his first hair cut a few weeks ago. I was sick of having hair hang down in his face, so I thought it was time. I was nervous because I didn't want all those cute curls to go away in the back. Since Chris cut's his own hair I went to the place where my dad goes thinking it wouldn't be a big deal...boy was I wrong. The girl says, just a little around the ears and the front, and I say yes. So I took him and put him on my lap. He wasn't sure about it and didn't really want to be sitting still. We gave him some food and that helped. She started cutting and I started crying. I kept telling her that was enough but she really didn't listen and continued. By the end it was all gone. I know it had to happen eventually but I just wasn't ready for him to look like such a big boy.

The Twins Turn Three

On June 6th the twins turned three. We celebrated at their house with cupcakes and water balloons. Audrey has been talking about her cousin Avery to everyone which is really sweet. The other day at the zoo they were holding hands and telling each other jokes, it was really cute!





So Sweet :)

Swimming

I am so glad to have my computer back. These pictures are old but still cute. We have been going swimming a few times a week up at the Dresden pool. Avery loves it and Jack likes to play in the small pool. He still isn't so sure about the big one yet.
