Vacation at Pa and Gram's

Aunt Josie did send the photos of the kiddos' week at Pa and Gram's house.  I'm pretty positive that everyone had a grand time.  Especially, since Reba AND Dallas took naps for two days after coming home!

The kiddos went home with Pa and Gram after we finished at the Rush County Fair.  It didn't take them long to get out the lawn tractors...

Sugar enjoyed splashing in the pool

Looks like they made a few different trips to some parks

A trip to Chuck E Cheese

LOVE Julianne's face!  She isn't afraid to let you know when she is unhappy with a situation

They even had a bonfire one night and a picnic in the yard

Eating at Aunt Josie's work

Swimming at Aunt Josie's apartment complex, but Julianne wouldn't get in

Until next time...

Playtime at the Park

The weather has been great for this past week; therefore, the kiddos started asking about having a picnic at a park.  Lucky for them, our Saturday was open, and we headed to the Haubstadt park.  And wouldn't you know, as soon as we arrived, a train came through!  {It's one of their favorite things about that park.}

We then made our way to the picnic tables and enjoyed our lunches.

Then, it was time to play!

This was Julianne's first trip to Dallas and Reba's favorite park, and I believe she might think it's pretty awesome too!

Gotta love that springy duck!

Until next time...

Sweet Summertime

With school out for the summer, both Gram and the big kids quickly started planning a long stay up north.  So this past week the older kiddos stayed with Pa, Gram and Aunt Josie.  I do believe they jammed packed each day with activities, including a day at the park, picnic lunches, eating out, swimming, and more.  Enjoy the photos Aunt Josie shared...

Until next time...

Last Day of Kindergarten

Look out world!  Dallas is now a 1st grader!!!  Yesterday was his last day of Kindergarten.  I can't believe how fast the school went...even with all the snow days this winter, we only had to extend the school calendar one day.

Of course, our family changed dramatically this school year with the addition of Julianne.

Our kiddos at the start of the school year

Our kiddos at the end of the school year!

To celebrate the end of the year, the school had field day competitions in the morning (tug-o-war, three legged race, etc).  The PTO then sponsored a picnic lunch for the students and their families.  Daddy was able to slip away from work and attend!

Dallas and one of his best friends, Dylan.  Their other buddy, Ryan, wasn't at school that day.

Until next time...
