OCNJ 2010

We had a fantastic time at OCNJ in August for what turned out to be the nicest weather this Delaney family has had on a summer vacation in, well, ever! Here are some highlights...

Getting ready for the beach!

Katherine really enjoyed her time on the beach, even stopping to have a little snack of plastic corn on the cob.



She loved jumping over waves!

We had a sandbar one day and Sean took a picture of how far out we were.

There was a gulley in front of the sandbar that came up to Katherine's chest. She got brave walking out!

A snack of plastic potato.

Playing with her new bucket.

Grammy and Pop-pop Cochran came to visit early in the week. Here are three generations watching the waves.

Of all the rides, Clifford at the arcade is Katherine's favorite.

And the motorcycles with Mommy!

Riding the train in Playland.

Taking a spin behind the wheel of an antique car.

Grandma and Pop-pop Delaney came to visit mid-week and brought an awesome bucket and toys! Katherine loved dumping the water on her head with the funnel.

Relaxing with Grandma and Pop-pop before the boardwalk.




Katherine loves going on the helicoptors with Daddy! Mommy just likes making Daddy squeeze into the small kiddie rides.

Overall a fun and exhausting vacation!

Little Gym Graduation

Katherine had her "graduation" at the Little Gym last week and we wanted to share some of the exciting moments that wrapped it all up!

Getting ready to go sit on the big red mat. So exciting!!

Oh, everyone please shake your bells and sing along with me...


High-fives for Miss Jamie, the teacher.

Jumping with neighbor and BFF, Kendall and Mommy.

Balancing on the uneven bars with Kendall and Kendall's mommy, Ms. Lauren.

Jumping is my favorite! Aunt Stacey and Mommy gave me a hand!

Running through the donut to Daddy.

Being chased back through by Pop-pop!

Come here, Pop-pop. Let me show you what we do here.

One of our tricks - a flip over the high bar! Super fun!

Ta-da!!

Going up to get the medal.

Check me out!!! Little Gym was super fun and I learned a lot of tricks and gained a lot of confidence in my time there, but after 16 LONG weeks, Mommy is glad it's over!!!

Now it's time to go back to school!!

The whole class!

Let the summer begin!

Hi everyone! I thought I'd share some early summer pictures for everyone. Enjoy!

First (and last) day in the pool. It popped.

We went to Toms River on the Friday before Memorial Day to spend time on the boardwalk with Grandma and Pop-pop before heading down to OCNJ for the weekend. Here is Katherine playing (throwing) in the sand.

Mommy and Kat on the baby Ferris Wheel.

Daddy and Katherine on Dumbo. Alex is in the elephant behind them.

Miss Riley, mid-spin, on the Tilt-a-Whirl with her Aunt Lisa. This girl sure does love rides!

Katherine had a Kohr Bros. ice cream cone every night. She enjoys them thoroughly!

Mommy and Kat on the bouncy frogs. This one was a hoot! And a touch too small, even for Mommy!

Monday was the nicest day of the weekend. Here is Kat running away from the water. An unusual scene, as she was typically running to it, screaming with glee!

Playing with cousin Amy. Amy and Riley are Katherine's favorites, for sure!

Relaxing at home with the Elmos.

Get up and dance a lot with the robot named Dance-a-Lot, everybody!

Spring 2010

Happy Easter everyone! We had a great time going on our first Easter Egg Hunt and spent Easter Day with the Cochran clan. Pics of the festivities below. Enjoy!

Surveying the land....

So many eggs, so little time!

Look what Daddy and I got!

There were tons of crafts to do after the egg hunt. We made prettybutterflies and flowers with stickers!

Then we went home and dyed some Easter eggs. It was super fun!

See, this egg here used to be white.

And the best part of the festivities....

The dancing! Of course!!!

Happy Easter and Happy Spring everyone!!!!

Thought I'd share!
