Dad and his Boys!

I really love that Dave gets to spend the entire summer with the Alex and Sean and he loves every second of it too!  They stay busy and have tons and tons of fun together.  I hope they know how lucky they are!

 

 

Some of the adventures they shared this past week included strawberry picking and library time.  They were invited over to a friend’s pool one afternoon and they’ve all taken up the sport of fishing.  We had a picnic dinner one night and watched the singing and dancing “Kids from Wisconsin” show at Wisconsin Lutheran College.  They definitely enjoy their cartoons in the morning, building Legos and riding their bikes just to name a few of their daily activities.  It’s always fun to get a text or picture at work letting me know where their next adventure has taken them that day!

Snuggling with Dad for morning cartoons!

Alex has been enjoying his baseball season so far!  This kid lives, breathes and thinks about baseball all day long!  It's fun to watch him in his element!!! 

He's so focused :)

Noah's Ark / Ducks

We surprised the kids and took a spontaneous road trip to WI Dells on Saturday.  We spent most of the day at Noak’s Ark which was always a favorite pastime for me growing up.  We had an absolute blast!  I think the temperature hit above 90 degrees so the Wave pool was a good spot to be!  The kids loved the slides too and our favorite was the family tube rides. We ended our fun in the Dells with a relaxing tour on the Original Wisconsin Ducks before heading home.  What a great day!

First time at Noah's Ark!

Lovin' the views :)

Enjoying the Duck ride!

We had to find another pool to stay cool today as it was close to 90 degrees again so we met Grandma Beyer at Wirth Pool.  Alex and Sean just love the water so much!  Surprisingly, it wasn't too busy.  We swam all afternoon and it felt wonderful!  We also were able to enjoy our parish festival this past weekend and the boys helped me run the Pirate Ship game under the Children’s game tent.  They didn’t want to miss out on the fun either so they played some of the games and won some cool prizes.

Stayin' cool on this hot day!

Lovin' the water and the hot sun!

Havin' fun at the festival!

Enjoying the games :)

Happy Father's Day!!!

We had such a fun day celebrating Father’s Day with a backyard cookout and water party for the kids!  It was a beautiful day for the kids to run around in their bathing suits all afternoon.  They ran from the pool to the slip n slide and then through the hose.  They had a water balloon fight and played squirt gun tag.  Thanks to Uncle Mark for making it extra fun for them!

 

Dave didn’t get much of a break today as he was the grill master and cooked us all a delicious meal.  Alex and Sean are so blessed to have such a fun, caring and hard-working Dad who would do anything for them!  Thank you for taking such good care of us and for always putting a smile on our face!  We love you, Dad!  XOXO

We celebrated the dual "Disney's Frozen" birthday party for Elsa and Anna, I mean Anna and Katelyn on Saturday and we had double the fun!  The cousins played all kinds of yard games together.  Hailey put together a scavenger hunt for them, and then later in the evening, the kids were catching fireflys.  To be a kid again!!!  We had "snow" much fun celebrating Anna turning five and Miss Katelyn turning two!

Happy Birthday to Anna and Katelyn!!!!

Not sure what backyard game they invented but they sure had fun playing together!

Summer has begun!

I had a few days off to spend with Alex and Sean this past week so we kicked off summer in a super fun way!  We went to the zoo with Nana and enjoyed the animals, playground, train ride and picnic lunch.  We made a visit to the New Berlin library where the boys signed up for their summer reading program.  Reading is on our to-do list every day this summer!!!

 

Zoo day with my favorite boys!

ROAR like a bear!

Fun day at the zoo!

 

We had a play date with Tyler and Anna this past week.  The kids were on their best behavior for me since I was all on my own with four of them!  We kept busy and had a fun day of coloring, kickball, tag and Wii Baseball!  I also worked the Just Fore Kids charity golf outing on Friday and it was a blast for a great cause.  Thank goodness for the big tree of shade that covered us and kept us cool!

Coloring fun!

Picnic Lunch with the kiddos

Cheers to the Just Fore Kids golf outing!

 Then it was hot, hot, hot on Saturday so the boys and I spent the afternoon at Wirth Park.  The 90 degree heat was a lot more tolerable submerged in a pool!  Alex and Sean played so nice together and rotated between the pools and the sandpit.  They are so lucky to have each other; a buddy wherever they go!  We finished the week off at St. John Vianney festival and went on some rides.  They certainly got their fill of rides and their favorite seems to be the Tilt a Whirl still!   

Pool Day!

Snack break :)

They love the Tilt a Whirl!

Best buddies!

So much fun on the swings!
