welcome ashley elizabeth bea

YAY! she is here! my close friend liz had her second baby girl on memorial day monday (may 30th). she is too stinking cute and i can't believe how small she is. it's crazy to think gia was even smaller. sigh, they grow too fast.
this little munchkin is a sweetie pie, if she is anything like her sister mya she is going to be TOO cute :)
enjoy the pics....

love you beas!!!

Memorial Day Weekend...

It was finally some nice weather on memorial day weekend so i took gia over to her mimi's house to go swimming! i dressed her up in her cute little suit and we went in the pool. she loved it! all her cousins were there so she got to hang out with them too. here are some pics of the cuteness :)
this was saturday, she was looking at the pool like hmmmm...

then on monday i was signed up to run a 10k in ridgewood. i hadn't really trained too much but figured i should do pretty well. then it was like 80 degrees by the time the race started and SO HUMID. ugh, i just do not do well in the heat but oh well! i finished, did ok and now i am done with races till at least the fall. i like the cooler weather for running :) john took some pics before and during the race, gia was hilarious as a spectator. john said she was clapping when everyone clapped, she cracks me up!

Gia's First Zoo Trip!

Last weekend we decided to head to the Turtleback Zoo in West Orange. It was cute! I thought it would be bigger but it was the perfect first time zoo for gia. we saw a lot of animals but i think the best was the monkeys! i could not believe how they were just flying from vine to vine lol. here is gia when we first got to the zoo...
