First Day of Preschool

Lily's first day of 3 year old preschool!!  Such a big girl :)

Kyle's First Birthday Party

We had a baseball-themed party for Kyle's First Birthday Party.  It was cookout on Memorial Day, complete with hot dogs, peanuts, and cracker jack.  Our Cubs colors doubled as a patriotic theme too!

Here is Nana with the party princess.  Her crown and bracelet lit up, which made Lily so happy.

Here's Grandma with the Birthday Boy

So happy with all of his new presents

He dove right into his cake with no hesitation.  He put on a show while everyone watched.  His favorite thing is to clap and watch everyone else clap with him.

The King needed a crown too.  But didn't wear it for long.

You may be a "toddler" now, but you'll always be my sweet baby

He's 15 months now... but again, better to post late, than never. :)

Grandma's Photo Shoot for Lily and Kyle

I found this in my drafts... better late than never!

Grandma started summer vacation so she came up for a quick visit.  She brought her fancy camera and did a little photo shoot for the kids.  Here are a few favorites.

Lily modeling her new favorite dress.  She would wear this every day if I let her.  She must always wear her cupcake necklace with the dress to complete the look.

This toy always makes Kyle smile

We used these pictures to make baseball cards for Kyle's 1st Birthday party.  I put them on a box of cracker jack and handed them out as party favors.

I got an idea on the internet to take a picture in adult clothes on every Birthday to see how the child grows.  So this is the first of many to come in this jersey.

We are ready for some football!!

Hi blog friends!  Just wanted you to know that we're alive.  It's been and busy summer and I didn't get anything posted.  I'll see if I can do better this fall.

Zoo Day

In early May, we met Grandma and Papa at Brookfield Zoo to celebrate Grandma's Birthday and early Mother's Day.  The weather was great and we had lots of fun.  We just started an annual pass, so this will be the first of many visits this year.  It was Kyle's first trip!  He loved watching the people and animals.  The petting zoo was closed, which was a bummer, because that used to be Lily's favorite part of the zoo.  (She loved those goats!)  But we got to see the new dinosaur exhibit, which was really cool.
