Swimming, Chicago, Father's Day and More!

We have packed a lot into the last couple weeks! Dustin and I are always so busy during the school year with basketball and school stuff that we barely feel like we see each other.  In the summertime we get really spoiled spending so much time together!  We try to stay as busy as possible in the summer with things to do.  It seems like if we have nothing to do Owen gets really bored and acts up...which in turn makes me cranky!  So we try to get out of the house as much as possible.  Pretty sure he gets that from me!  I am not a homebody! 

We have had a great two weeks!  I will explain it all through our pics! :)


Owen had his last day of preschool!  We STILL have not made a decision about Kindergarten yet but we will ASAP!



 We spent a lot of time playing in water in our back yard! Dustin's mom bought us a good sized pool for the back yard.  Owen loves it!  Ella prefers to stick to the baby pool and sprinkler! 
 



 




Dustin and I took a trip to Chicago to see a cubs game with two other couples!  It was so much fun!  We stayed the night and had so much fun!  The kids stayed the night with the Haney's and had a lot of fun also. 









We got a game ball for Owey!













When we got home we went golfing at The Trophy Club.  Owen looks forward to golfing every time we go to my dad's house.  This was Ella's first time and she loved riding in the cart and running around the course. Owen is actually hitting pretty good this year.  He is such a perfectionist that he usually gets moody because he wants to be better than he is but he still has fun.

 




We went to Sahm pool in Fisher's with The Uhlman's.  Ella was scared to go too far into the pool but loved the sprinkler park area. 

 
 
We had our last tball game this week!  I am sad that it is over because I love watching Owen play!




So proud of his first trophy!




 










Dustin's sister and I took my kiddos and their cousin Skyla to PBS in the park downtown.  The kids had so much fun!  We got to watch an animal show where they had some exotic and local animals to pet and learn about.  They also got to meet Alpha Pig...had story time with Curious George, got to pick out books to take home, and play games.  It was such a great event and even better, it was free!



 Ella sleeps with a Curious George stuffed animal every night so when he came on stage she was mesmerized!!






On Father's Day my dad came for a visit and then we went to Dustin's parents for a cook out.  Then we headed to an Oakley pool party for the other side of the family.  The kids swam and played all day.



Owen and Cousin Dani!
