Bounce house in the basement

 All girls to the bounce house!

 OK, Mimi, crank it up!

YAY, Carra and Aunt Sarah!  Bounce bounce bounce!!!

Connor's 3rd birthday party

We had a GREAT time at Connor's 3rd birthday party!  The birthday boy (in black):

 Can I have some cake, Mom?

 Or maybe I'll just take this cool Spiderman bike.

 Or any of these toys as well.

 Mowin' the lawn:

 Super cool dinosaur tattoo!

 Thanks for the beer, Daddy!

 This poor guy didn't last long...

 Stephie took a turn.  Left-handed.  And more like fly-swatting than batting, but that's okay.

 And look who's staying over tonight!   Aunt Sarah and Carra had a great time in the bounce house...

 ...before a bedtime of snack of Cheerios.

What an awesome day!!!

Happy birthday Poppie!

First, check out these cute little ladies.  And no, it is not Stephie's birthday, but she wore her birthday shirt to celebrate for Poppie instead.

 And look who's here!  Happy birthday, Poppie!!!

 Sorry we forgot the birthday candles.  A flameless LED candle was the best we could do.

 Cheers!

Random round-up

What have the girls been up to lately?  Lots of art projects.

 Stickers, of course.

 Stephie's latest pre-bedtime activity: Legos!

 Pink ones, of course.

 Haley hits up the library while Stephie is at camp.

 She is too busy to look at the camera, of course.

 Always time to steal Bobo's glasses.

 And a few minutes of t.v. couch snuggles before naps.

A new park and old zoo

When Grandma Julie stopped by this morning to drop off some paper towels, Stephie conned her into coming back after her exercise class to accompany them to a park.  Bobo knew of this one "near Kids' Town," as Stephie said.

 After a picnic lunch...

 ...the found a mama duck with 4 babies!

 Then it was off to Cosley Zoo.  Baaa....

 Drink up, Haley!  It's another hot one!

Rocket park

First, Haley and Geoffrey (who we're fearing is the new Bingo!) hit music class...

 ...then it was off for a picnic lunch with Cami and Ava at the rocket park near Bobo's house.

 Fun in the sprinklers for Haley.

 Stephie made it all the way to the top of the rocket!

 Here are Marta, Ava, and Haley...

 ...and Bobo and all of her girls.

Aunt Marian's 95th birthday party

We wrapped up the weekend by celebrating Aunt Marian's 95th birthday at Winberie's in Wheeling.

The birthday girl!

The whole gang:

Stephie brought the birthday hat.

Happy birthday to a wonderful lady!!!
