The Past Few Weeks

It is hard to believe that I haven't been on here really in the past 2 weeks.  We've been doing a lot and relaxing a lot and I really just haven't wanted to get on the computer at night.  So here is a summary of our last few weeks!

We had my cousin Matt's son Jack's 1st birthday party!









Miss Fi is getting so big!


Cousins!  To be reunited this weekend in the Dells!




Dancing with Maddie!






Someone thought she was a bitty baby again!


We hit up the Bluegrass Festival in downtown Frankfort where we waited in line longer than we should have so that Luke could get his face painted.





Spidey and his ice cream!


Exhausted!




We had a stint of 100 degree weather again!


A good place to be when it is hot is the splash pad (with Dinah) or


in the pool with Nala!  (Nala was not happy, but she cooperated and is a good swimmer!)


We met the Happ kids and watched a puppet show.








Love Clark looking up at Luke :)



 
On a gorgeous Friday night, we went to our first Joliet Slammers game of the year.  We even managed to make it to the end and see the fireworks!



We learned something about Luke that night.  Normally, he isn't a super hyper-running all over-crazy kind of kid, BUT if you give him just about a whole bag of cotton candy things change!  At one point Wally and I were laughing so hard because he was CRAZY and so unlike himself.  I suppose we should have figured that much sugar would do that to him.  Luckily, we were outside where he had the freedom to run off that sugar high!




This girl thought she ran the place!




Paige's face after the first firework went off - she liked them once she could enjoy them in my lap!


Luke loved them!


Luke started Parent and Me T-Ball at a park district. 


Paige realized her love of books and computers.


We had grandparents babysit and sleep over. 

Luke saw the movie Brave.  Wally tried his best to convince Luke to see Madagascar 3 instead, but he insisted on seeing Brave and loved it! 
We visited Navy Pier - that one deserves it's own post!

And Wally and I saw The Dark Night Rises - very good!

We are heading to the Dells on Wednesday.  My cousin is getting married up there on Saturday so we have extended our stay a bit!  We are looking forward to it!
