Art Fair in the Rain

Saturday we went up to Buffalo Grove to see some friends. Anna Marie is getting bigger, she was very social and happy. Will seemed a little shocked as Zach tried out all of his toys.

We braved the Buffalo Grove Art Fair even though it was raining. The kids had a good time painting rocks, a car, and having their faces painted. We walked around and saw the exhibits and then did lunch.

It was a fun day.

Happy 4th of July

We headed down to Purdue this 4th of July weekend. We had fun cooking out with Kendra and her Mom. Then we headed over to see the fireworks by Slayter Center with Grandma and Uncle Bobby. Saturday we enjoyed the Purdue fountains and saw the new Armstrong Hall. That night we went to see Josh's house. The kids got to ride on a tractor and make s'mores. We had a great time!

We hope everyone had a great 4th!

Morning Exercises

This weekend Chris put together Zach's trampoline that Grandpa Goellner gave him for his birthday. Zach and Meg had alot of fun jumping on it. Zach was back on it this morning while watching cartoons before school.

We don't have many pictures from this weekend, but we did alot.

• Friday night was the St. Cletus Golf Outing. Gene and Dale watched the kids. We helped set up the raffle while the golfers finished up and joined them for dinner.
• Saturday morning we helped paint a sign for one of our friends who turned 40.
• Dad and Zach went to a birthday party while Meg and Mom went to a playdate.
• That night we had alot of fun at the 40th birthday party while Meg and Zach stayed the night with Gene and Dale.

Strawberries Galore

We have a great crop of strawberries this year. The kids are enjoying picking them each evening after dinner. Saturday Meg made everyone strawberry parfaits.

This weekend we also helped run the Ministry fair at St. Cletus, went to a parade, and cooked out with some friends Sunday night.

Do you know the way to San Jose?

This weekend I went with my Mom to see cousin Allison graduate from high school. We had a great time tooling around California. We saw Half Moon Bay, San Jose, Stanford and Monterey. It was a very nice trip, we had a great time!

Zach is 4!

Zach had a rockin' birthday. Saturday night we celebrated with Grandma, Uncle Bobby, Josh, Gene and Dale. Zach loved all of his presents. Sunday we invited Zach's class to join us at Ravinia to see Ralph's World. It was wet and muddy, but everyone had a blast.

End of Soccer

Well another season of soccer has ended. After the game the kids enjoyed the AYSO spring picnic.

I love a Parade

Saturday we had the honor of marching in the LaGrange Pet Parade with St. Cletus School. We arrived at 8:15am. It was a long wait until it was our turn to march, but the kids did great. After the parade we went to the carnival with some of our Kindergarten buddies from last year. 4pm we finally headed home and ordered a pizza for dinner, we were exhausted!
