We love stickers!

Grandpa Gene gave us some stickers.

I'm wearing about 10 of them right now, too. :)

I have to get back to this blog....

We've been busy loving on all the new babies around here! I never thought I'd have to fight my daughter for my turn to hold the baby, but she LOVES them all! She cried when I took a screaming Baby Landon away from her! He is a cutie and coming for a play date tomorrow! Wohoo!

All these baby boys are getting us excited for Baby Mini Cooper to get here!

Chicago 2010

Tim and I were able to get away for a long weekend with the Curless' again this year. Good times! We stayed at the casino in Michigan City, did some outlet shopping, walked on the beach, and then took the train to downtown Chicago for the Taste! We love our Curless summer fun.

On the train.

At the Taste.
I have a picture of us on the beach, on my phone, and as soon as I learn how to get it off of there, I'll share it. None of us took our cameras with us to dinner and the beach. :(

The water fall

The creek

The labyrinth

The maze
Good times.

New Bikes

After much debate we finally decided what the bike situation would be for the summer. Grace got a new hand-me-down bike (which we've girlied up for her) and Cooper got her bike as the hand-me-down (which will be photographed in black and white this summer, for later when he might care that he was riding a pink bike).

While they both LOVE riding their bikes, mom is no longer patient enough to go with them. She is too fast. He is too slow. They both stop and can't get going again. And neither of them will coast down the hills so that going up is easier. After our last ride, I just about chucked all the bikes in the pool. Or at least threatened to put them away in the shed until next year! Now if only they could get along riding in the cool bike trailer we got!

July 4th

We spent a relaxing day around the house and then went into town for the fireworks. After about 5 minutes, Grace asked, "How long are we going to be here?" and after every one, Cooper yelled, "Oooh, Look at that one, Dad! That one mine! (His favorite.)" They are just so late that it's hard to tell if the kids really enjoyed it. But, it was a fun family day.
Later we did some drive way fireworks with the Curless'.

Always fun... the poppers.
(Which we continued to find by stepping on them for a couple of days later!)

And sparklers!
