June

Every now and then my kids actually act like they love each other. Here they are kissing each other. They usually get a little over enthusiastic and then it turns into a fight or wrestling match.If only we could read his mind here. What is he thinking??

Nana and Papa were able to come for a weekend over Fathers Day. They love their Papa.

We went to Greenfield Village for the day on Fathers Day. We had to load up the wagon and trailer with supplies for the day.

It was really hot for a few days, so we got out our little pool, and I mean little. I think we will have to get the larger one this year. They both barely fit in it.

They did manage to stop and pose for me.

Reid got to go to his first baseball game. The Cubs were in town(Daddy's favorite team) so they got a ticket and went. Rob said Reid was great. They had pizza before the game started and only had to get out of their seats once because the lady beside them brought some icecream back, so they had to go get some for themselves.

And finally, potty training. Here is a pic of them sitting on their potties. Its going as well as can be expected. Good days and bad days. Nana was here to help us thankfully for a week. Thank goodness for Nana.

Where Have We Been???-May-

Both of the kids are really into Thomas the train, so we went to see him at Greenfield Village. We bought a membership so we can go back and visit the village and museum again.

It was a fun day. We got to go on a train ride that had an actual Thomas as the engine. And they had a lot of other fun activities around the village.

Here is Elsie loving her carousel ride.And Reid having just as much fun!!
Here we are on the train , waiting for Thomas to take us for a ride.

And whats better than a Thomas made out of Lego's???

Over the holiday weekend, we went to Indianapolis to visit with Uncle Randy and Aunt Sarah. We spent the Saturday at the Indy Zoo.

They had a tank where you could pet sharks. We had to really watch Elsie, she wanted to get right in there with them. I'm not sure Reid ever put his hands in the water.

Here they are again with Aunt Sarah with a tight grip on Elsie.

On Sunday Rob and Randy went to the Indy 500. We decided that since it was a nice day that we would spend it outside. There was a really nice park closeby that had a little river running through it. Here are the kids with Aunt Sarah throwing rocks in the river. We all managed to stay dry!!

Thats about it for May.

Hopefully it won't take me 2 months to post again.

Where Have We Been??????-April-

So, where have we been?? Well I guess everywhere but here on the computer uploading pics and updating everyone. But here I am again bothering you with pics and updates. So enjoy!

We(just me and the kids) spent 4 days at the beginning of April in Pittsburgh at Rob's aunt and uncles. Aunt Connie, Uncle Craig and Katie were great hosts. Aunt JoAn and cousin Christopher were able to come and have some fun with us as well.

The first day the weather was nice enough that we were able to be outside at the Pittsburgh Zoo. Afterwards we had time to go downtown to take a ride on the incline. The kids both thought that was great. Its like a little trolley that takes you up and down the hillside. After the incline ride we went to check out the view at one of the viewing areas. You can see that the kids were very excited about the view of downtown Pittsburgh. I think it had something to do with waking them up to go on the incline and almost being supper time.
We also spent a day at the Science Center, went to our 1st IMAX movie, went to Pittsburgh's National Aviary and the Childrens Museum of Pittsburgh. Yes, we were only there for 4 days. We were also able to go to see cousin Katie(she's 16) play a lacrosse game. The kids were a little confused there, they thought it was baseball.
All of that running around makes for some tired kids.
Here they are passed out on the livingroom floor waiting for supper.
Unfortunately in the middle of April Rob's grandpa was diagnosed with cancer. We were able to go to SouthBend and spend a weekend with him. He passed away just 10 days after the diagnosis, so we were in SouthBend for another week.

Uncle Rick works for Bosch as well as Daddy, and he had this play drill and hard hat at his house so he brought it for Reid to have.

The night after the funeral visitation, a few of us adults were able to go out and reminice about grandpa's life. He owned a bar for a few years and the owner now invited us to come out. Grandma stayed home and watched the kids while we visited the Green Star.

That was about all that happened in April. It was a pretty eventful month.
