FIRSTS!

Our FIRST 4th of July!

Our FIRST bath together!

Our FIRST dining out experience! Don't we look like 3 little ladies having tea?

Where did May & June go???

Here's what happened... (in no particular order)


Nick's 1st Father's Day with Allie, Norah and Olivia...what a special day!



Nick opens his own barber shop in the backyard to save money...look out little girls...daddy will be determined to buzz your hair to save $$$ too. (Just kidding) Ry's haircut looks adorable!


We FINALLY got back to church. This was at home after our first Sunday at church together as a family. We've gone several more times and the girls are doing fantastic. They still can't be in the nursery but hopefully soon...

We went back to Community North to visit Maternal Fetal Medicine (Dr. Dungy-Poythress and staff) as well as the NICU and several of our favorite nurses!


PINK EYE...why not? We don't have enough going on!

Ryan's 4th birthday party "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" was a huge hit and LOTS of fun!

We got to have one pool moment...not even a day. It was the girls' first time in a pool. They loved splashing in the water!

And on May 29th, Brooke married Josh. We were able to dress up the whole family and enjoy the day together. The girls were angels during the ceremony and our little man did such a fantastic job as the ring bearer! We were so proud of the kiddos!

The day of the HAIR BOW!

Olivia's day of the pink hair bow!

Big brother loves his look alike!

She's such a beautiful, happy girl!
And then she rocked the hair bow at bedtime!!!
(Oh yea...and she's our first sitter too!!!)

It's exhausting to be SO cute!

FINALLY, we are enjoying the outdoors with our girls! Recently, we purchased some adorable sunglasses for Allie, Norah and Olivia. Check it out...

I had to capture this picture...it might not happen too often that 3 pretty princesses fall asleep in each other's arms. Sucking thumbs, snuggled together in mom & dads bed! What a lovely Saturday morning in the Vetor house! (Left to Right: Norah, Olivia and Allie)

Gluten Free / Dairy Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ryan and I made GF / DF Chocolate Chip Cookies! I feel like he misses out on some of the good stuff because of his food allergies...but not this time!

A good friend gave us a Red Mill package of GF Chocolate Chip Cookie mix. We substitute regular butter with butter flavored Crisco (dairy free). The package says the batter will be dry...that's NO JOKE! I couldn't even make balls out of the dough. SO, here's the secret...add a 4 oz. container of cinnamon applesauce (or plain). It was just enough to make the dough look and taste like real cookie dough.

Not only were they enjoyed by our GF friends & family but even Nick and I enjoyed these delicious cookies!!!

Ryan's 1st year of T-Ball

The "Express" Team Dugout

Asst. Coach DAD & #8 Ryan
Ryan hits the ball...and then runs to get it! I guess that's how we do it at home!

FUN MEMORIES!!

Where did the past month go???

Gosh it's been a whole month since I last posted! And a lot has happened in Vetorville since late April! (Watch for multiple posts...ha ha!) Ryan's t-ball games kicked off...and mommy turned the big 3-0!!!

I celebrated my birthday with a girlfriend getaway to Put in Bay, OH! It was fabulous to say the least. Thanks Nat and Kristen for celebrating with me and making the weekend SO MUCH FUN. Lots of laughter and silly memories!

THEN, after my getaway...my fantastic husband threw me a surprise 30th birthday party (a joint 30th with Kristen Gray). What a guy! He did an amazing job considering all the bumps and bruises that came along with trying to surprise ME!
