Summer Days!

Since I'm so far behind in my blogging, I just put together a bunch of pictures from this summer.

This is at Callahan Park. They have a new kiddie sprinkler water park type thing. Very fun!

This is at my friend Allie's house. She has a pool they we've enjoyed a couple times this summer. Hannah LOVES swimming

Hannah got a new swimsuit. Isn't she cute?

This is after she got her hair trimmed. I love these pictures.

New House: Kitchen

Finally, pictures of the Kitchen. Sorry I haven't updated in ages. I hope to get caught up this week!

Our Date

Ben and I had a date day on Saturday and went to Buffalo. We ate at my favorite restaurant in the world- Carrabbas Italian Grill! It was delicious. I had a glass of Blackberry Sangria and Calamari Ricardo, Mezzaluna Pasta, and a Italian Cream Bacino with raspberries. Ben had a Peroni (an Italian beer), we split the Calamari, he also had Sausage Minestrone soup, and Sirloin Marsala (I had a taste, it was delicious!) and a banana Bacino, (a Bacino is a little dessert in like a shot glass). I didn't get any pictures while we were there because I was too busy eating to think about it.... :)

On our way home, We stopped at the Ellicottville Brewing Company. We'd never been there, and even though I don't drink beer, we stopped by to check it out. It's a really neat place. Ben tried the Blueberry Brew and said it was good. We'll go back there for dinner sometime, they had a really neat menu.

Our camera has an auto timer that takes 3 shots in a row, so we had some fun with that!

"Beach" day!

Friday, Hannah and I decided we wanted to go to the beach...but since we don't live anywhere near a beach, we pretended in our back yard!
Hannah actually liked being sprayed by the hose. haha

Goofy little dancer!

Announcing Mr & Mrs. Michael Clingenpeel!

On the 4th of July, my best friend Janell got married! I was a bridesmaid. It was a beautiful wedding.
Here is the happy couple!

Our New Kitty!

This is Daisy! She's our new kitten. We love her!

Hannah was a little unsure of her at first, but they are best buddies now!

Missoula Children's Theater

The last week of June, my cousins from NC and SC came up to Bradford to be in the Missoula Children's Theaters' production on "The Little Mermaid". They did a wonderful job!
This is a photo of the whole cast:
