That Hair Rocks!!!

Last week we went to a Riverhawk's game (the local little baseball team here in Rockford). As we were sitting there watching the game, we heard a dad and his kids coming near us. Here is what we heard:

Dad: "Okay guys, where were we sitting again?"

Little boy: "Dad, just look for the little boy with the mohawk!!!"

We all got a good laugh out of that-- our child is now a landmark :) But seriously, how could you not love Grant's chubby little cheeks and his signature mohawk!?! We sure do!!!



On a sadder note.... yesterday I was giving all the boys haircuts. In a moment of insanity, I chopped it off!! :( I always do that-- cut their hair shorter than I mean to. Oh well-- it'll grow back, and I have lots and lots of pictures to document the cute mohawk while it lasted :)

Out of the mouth of Drew

While test driving our new van the other day.... (I was driving, the boys in the bucket seats, Andy in the back, and the salesguy sitting shotgun)

Drew said, "Mommy, take that guy out!!!"

Later that day as we were loading our things up into the van, Drew said, "Mommy we get that van with no guy in it?!?"

Freshly Bathed

Mmmmm... I love smelling my freshly bathed boys!!! They love their baths, and so do I!

The New Ride

As of today, we are officially mini-van owners :) Ahh... kinda crazy! We're excited, though, and think it will be a great fit for our family.

Lazy Summer Afternoons

Who knew this activity could provide so much entertainment?!?

3 Chubs in a Tub

This last weekend we got to see Andy's brother and his family! They're on their trek to NYC, and stopped in here for a couple of days.

While they were here, we learned that water, toys, and three boys makes for a fun, wet bathroom :)



That awesome lakefront parks with awesome views can be found by accident (way to go, And!) --This is Madison, WI... such a beautiful city!--



And that cousins can become instant buddies :)



Thanks for the great weekend, guys-- hopefully we can get together again soon!

Family and the 4th

We've had so much fun having family visit the last couple of weeks. First, my parents came in. We headed to Nauvoo for a couple of days and then enjoyed working my dad to death with projects around the house. Gotta love handy dads! ;) ((THANKS DAD!!!))


Carthage, IL

Drew insisted on pushing the stroller around.... until we put Grant in it. About 10 seconds after this picture was taken, he said, "Take Baby Grant out, this is too heavy!" :)

Beautiful Nauvoo

Fireworks on the 4th... both boys loved them! (btw, if you ever want to see one of the greatest fireworks shows-- come visit us, and we'll take you to the Beloit, WI one :)
THANKS for the pool, Grandma and Grandpa!! D & G love it!!!

As always, the time together ends all too soon!!! When are you guys coming back?!?! We miss you!
