Gymboree

This past Sat we took Tyler to his first Gymboree class. He had so much fun...wasn't thrilled about climbing on any wooden planks that were set up but had no problem climbing on all the soft mats! He mostly loved the bubbles of course!

Vince's Birthday!

Jeremy and Vince with big smiles!

The waiter felt bad...so they brought him some more sparklers!

Thanks to Brian, Vince had a very cute princess balloon attached to his chair all night!

On July 16th Vince celebrated another bday! That evening we decided to go out with all the neighbors (this time with no kids) to Doc's for some food and spirits! We had so much fun and can't wait to do it again soon! Hopefully next time Kris and Carrie and Cheryl and Mark can join us too! Here are the pics that I thought were okay to display on my "family" blog... hahaha...there were some that were just too goofy to post-neighbors, I will send them to you in an email! Thanks again for a great night! And happy birthday to Judy and Vince!

4th Annual Luau

I swear its impossible to get Tyler to look at the camera let alone smile at the camera these days but I wanted a picture of us anyway!

My friend Krissy and I...and our baby boys too!

Above: Tyler has just recently learned about juice boxes and boy does he love them.
Below: Baby Evan looking so darn cute in his hat!

Vince and his Cornoitta! (on accident Vince bought mini coronas...the guys had a blast getting on his case about that mistake!)

Tyler and all the other kids loved playing in the baby pools!

Below: Carrie and Kerie (she made me the real lei that I am wearing...it was so beautiful...thank you Carrie)!

We have the best parties we even hire stunt planes for entertainment...hahaha!

On July 10th we celebrated our 4th luau! It is always so much fun having all our family and friends come out to our home...we only wish we could have had more time catching up with everyone! We hope you all had a blast! And yes, it did rain once again on us...but only for a few minutes...maybe next year will be the first year with NO rain at ALL!

Pool Time Fun

Tyler really loves his baby pool....he is a complete fish! He will lay back and kick his feet, he puts his face in the water and loves to splash!

Happy 4th of July!

What you can't see in these pictures is Grammie making a fool of herself trying to get the boys to smile! She had them all laughing...very cute! In the below picture, Tyler is laughing so hard Jaden starts laughing at him! By the way Tyler did get a hair cut, yet again, the very next day...boy was it long and only 5weeks had past since he got it cut last!

Below: Another serious picture but I love that look he has sometimes!

Tyler, Owen and Jaden

On the 4th we started the day by going to the Lake Bluff parade! We had a blast and now that my sister Amy and her family are new residents there we are encouraging them to make this an annual tradition (of course a bbq should always take place afterward back at their new home..no pressure or anything Amy and Jimmy)! Anyway, we had so much and Tyler really enjoyed the parade! He most enjoyed the music, trucks that went by and of course all the balloons!
