Uncooperative photo subjects!

Bobo took the girls to the Lombard splash pad today for some sprinkler fun.  They had so much fun that they wouldn't look at the camera.  Even.  Once.

 Haley is fearless with the sprinklers!

 Snack time...

 ...with Sammy.

 All dried off and time for naps.  Haley's favorite accessory: a fork!

Out and about

While trying to avoid any more horrendous bug bites on her poor little face...

 ...Haley had a great time at the arboretum.

 Sister snuggles at home...

 HOLY MESS!!!  Mommy is glad that this was blissfully cleaned up by the time we got home.

 This is Megan's little brother...

 ...and Megan who LOVES princesses.

 A healthy lunch to share rounded out a great day.

Thanks, Bobo!

Happy 4th of July!

More shots of a wonderful weekend filled with family fun:

 Picnic at the lake for the cardboard boat regatta:

 Biking in a swimsuit, nothing better!

 Capped off by fireworks in Wheaton.  Happy 4th to everyone!

4th of July fun

Jigglers, prepared by Mimi and Stephie (and touched by every kid at the party!):

 And "boingy things" aka headbands...

...fun for all ages!

15 months old! And an after-BBQ bike ride

Happy 15 months old to Haley!  Haley is a big girl now, if you didn't know.  She likes to wear ONLY her pink crocs and gets quite upset if you try to put on her sneakers.  She says, "YEAH YEAH YEAH" to any question that you ask her (including Stephie's unfortunate favorite, "Haley, did you eat a poo-poo sandwich???"  She is a crazy woman during diaper changes; it is definitely easier with 2 adults to hold her down.  She loves holding Mommy's keys, Mommy's phone, and especially emptying out the entire cabinet of her dishes and cups.  She is still the best snuggler around and gives the sweetest hugs and kisses.  We love you, Haley!  Also, we had a BBQ today!  Unfortunately, we were so busy with the actual party that we forgot to take any pictures during it.  But here is a general idea of the circus that was the backyard:

 After dinner, the girls went on a joint bike ride.

 Helmets on, please, safety first!

 Where are you headed, Stephie?!?

What a wonderful summer day.

Bounce house!

A small preview of the big surprise for our BBQ tomorrow...
