What Mattie did at Soccer Camp

Today was the last day of soccer camp for mattie. Here are some pics from today. (these pictures have a grunge effect on them)

Bath Time Fun

I didn't take any before pictures, but today is the first day of summer, great for mattie -- not so great for me. To make today better I had a meeting at home at 10 am this morning, so mattie and jake had to be outside playing. They wanted to paint, I gave in. They played outside from 6am-noon (painting is an outside activity at casa ferronato) I just fed them lunch and now they are in the bath. I didn't think that they would both be so covered in paint. Oh well, here are some cute bubble bath pictures for you to enjoy.

If you can't tell, Jake is saying "GET THAT CAMERA OUT OF MY FACE"

Here is one of my pretty little mattie.

Seal Beach

Dave got called into work last night and so our plans for tonight had to be changed. But he came home and got a nap and I talked him into go to Seal Beach for dinner and play. It was such a nice time. It was windy enough for Dave to fly his kite for a while, which Mattie and Jake love.

Doesn't Mattie look so happy :(

Sometimes Jake will bury himself in the pillows on the couch.
