Kids Day

We had a really fun and busy day. Hannah got the pool out at 8am and was ready to swim. The water was so cold that I couldn't even put my toes in, but Hannah jumped in and lay down like a fish.
The real fun was this evening we met our friends Jena and Owen at the Trolley Stop for kids day. We went on a train ride, got a balloon from Jimbo, and hung out at the petting zoo. It was a really fun time and I am really crossing my fingers that the kids sleep well tonight!!

Paparazzi

The other night we went to the Coleman's house and next thing you know... Brian is in People magazine. I guess that is what happens when you hang with the Colemans.
Carter loved the bike ride, but NOT the pink helmet.

Relax

Not too much to report at the Turk house.

Hershey Gardens

Today's adventure took us to Hershey Gardens. It was a little slice of paradise amongst the noisy world. The gardens were breathtaking and the kids loved the Butterfly House and the Children's Garden. I have never been in a butterfly house before, but it was just awesome to be surrounded with beautiful flowers and butterflies everywhere. Hannah carried her cheat sheet so she could identify each butterfly. Anna and Carter felt that they should attempt to catch every butterfly they saw. Needless to say we weren't in the house for very long.

Friends

We had a very fun evening with Miss Anna Grace. We made a fort with lots of tunnels, played in the basement, went for a walk, played outside and had a little snack time!! It was a fun and busy night!!

Lunch

Today we went to the pool with Anna and Becca. We had a ton of fun and I must say that having the car rafts was a life saver for me!! I don't have to worry about kids going under the water and the kiddie pool is shallow enough that they can still walk around. We also enjoyed a small lunch and then came home for naps. Thanks be to God for all the sunshine!! We love it!!

Happy Father's Day!

Forget politics and enjoy your day!!

This is a typical Father's Day position. Today we went to a wonderful service at church and then lunch at the "Rhino Restaurant". Now Brian is on the couch downstairs in the above position watching the U.S. Open.

Happy Father's Day!

Pool Day

We had a blast at the pool today. I took the kids with my friend Amanda and we had a great time playing in the water and just enjoying the sunshine!!

Train Ride

PA Turnpike

I just wanted to share this photo of Anna Coleman driving on the PA Turnpike. I just thought it was an awesome photo. I hope I never get stuck in traffic long enough to let my kids play on the highway, but if I do I sure hope I have a camera!!!

Thank You, Grandma!

We love you Grandma!

Uncle B & Auntie A

We had a very fun weekend with Unc B and Auntie A. Brian and David played golf on Saturday in a tournament put on by our church. They both came home hot, sunburned, and tired. Sunday morning we went to a local french country restaurant for breakfast and then took a trip down to see Brian's office. Thanks for coming!! We had so much fun!

FINALLY!!

The 2007 Photo Album has arrived!!

I have been working on it for 2 days.

6 months and 600 photos later we are done.

The kids were so excited to look at it this morning. Hannah wants to take it with her so she can show all of her friends. Needless to say I made her a mini album to carry around.

I love blogging, but it really makes hard copies seem like a chore!! I forgot how much I enjoy having a photo album to look at. Soon we will be adding Baby Turk to our album.

Raystown Lake, PA

This weekend we went to Raystown Lake with the Waller Family. We had such a wonderful time and the kids had so much fun I think they will sleep for the next week!! Check out our photos!

Crocs

Today Carter was initiated into the Croc club. We all own a pair and love them. Now Carter can be part of the group. Hannah loves her orange Crocs. I offered to buy her a new pair today, but she said "no thank you Momma I already have some." So instead she wanted to pick the "charms" for her shoes and Carter's shoes.

Happy Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day!

I hope that everyone had a relaxing weekend. Brian and I woke up this morning and felt like new people. I guess we really needed the sleep. Lately, every time Brian and I try to sleep in Hannah wakes up at 6am. The good news is that her new curtains have her sleeping in until 9am. YEAH! We stopped at the Capital this morning and then went to the Coleman's home for a delicious lunch. The Chocolate Chip Pie was AMAZING! Now it is time for naps. Tonight we hope to walk around the arts festival in Harrisburg and watch the fireworks on the river.

Memorial Day

Good Night

It is so fun to watch the love between Hannah Grace and Carter develop. They are really rough and wild most the day, but deep down they just love each other so much. Every night they get to watch a show before bed and tonight they wanted to sit together and cuddle. " I want to cuddle Carter, Momma." Hannah Grace says before bed. She also loves to read him bedtime stories, pray and turn off his lights then say "nigh nigh Carter." Too Cute!!

Mt. Gretna, PA

This afternoon we took a beautiful drive out to Mt. Gretna, PA.

It is a really tiny village/resort area. The big attraction is Conewago Lake, but really enjoyed just walking around and looking at all the little cottage homes.

We went to the famous Ice Cream Parlor known as the Jigger Shop for lunch. We ate outside on the deck amongst the evergreen trees. Then, we went for a nice walk to burn some calories and look at the cute summer homes. After our walk we came back to try the ice cream, which was as delicious as expected.

1st Trip to the Barber

Saturday Morning

Brian and Carter got up and went to the Barber shop with Uncle Jeff at 6:30am. Brian and Jeff got great cuts, but Master Turk would not let the Barber cut his hair. After trying a variety of toys and lots of screaming they called it quits.

Carter was happy to come home and get a hair cut from his Momma.

Pool Party

We started Memorial Day weekend with a pool party and cookout. It was a casual fun night with the Coleman Family. The kids had a blast playing and we enjoyed an American meal of hot dogs, baked beans, Amish pasta salad, and angel food cake with fresh strawberries!! We are so lucky to have good friends that live so close and who are also willing to hang out with Brian.
