Cubs Game....Rooftop!

This past weekend we headed to Chicago for a bachelor/bachelorette party for our friend, Ryan Grady, who is getting married in July to Beth Collins. Scott is the best man! For their party they wanted to watch a Cubs game on a rooftop. It was amazing!!! It was all inclusive, beautiful inside and had awesome views! The place had about 7 floors where you could sit and watch the game, with the top floor being stadium seats on the roof. It was such a hot day, so it was nice to be able to go in and sit in the air conditioning while watching the game on large TVs. The food was really good, too, and there was LOTS of it!

By the way, Beth and her friends are all from St. Louis, so they were rooting for the Cardinals, but.......Cubs won! 5 to 0! It was such a great time with great friends! Goooooo Cubbies!!!

Lovin' These Sunny Days

The weather was beautiful today, so it was the perfect day to head to the park! We met Lindsay & Cole at the Wakarusa Park for some play time. The boys had a great time swinging, sliding, running around and eating (lots of snacks were packed)!!! We will probably be visiting this park quite a few times this summer....absolutely love it!


Later, when Daddy got home from work we spent more time outside washing & cleaning out our cars. My van REALLY needed it! Eli loved helping, especially spraying with the hose. Jayce did great, too, just watching everything. He spent a lot of time giggling at his big brother. Love it! It was such a great day to be outside in the sunny weather! Hope it's like this all summer!

Big Foot...Vroom! Vroom!

Last weekend Big Foot was at the Monteith Tire in Wakarusa. This is totally not something I am into, but Eli loves this stuff, so we went. We met up with Uncle Shawn and Uncle Casey to go watch Big Foot crush some cars. Got to say, I was pretty impressed. Couldn't believe how high Big Foot could jump! Eli got the opportunity to sit on one of the huge tires, too! I think Eli really loved it, however, he wasn't too fond of the noise. When the truck revved it's engine, it was extremely loud. Luckily, Uncle Shawn brought ear phones for Jayce....don't think he heard a thing!

Putt Putt with the Goods

Last weekend we went to Putt Putt Golf & Games in Mishawaka with the Goods. Eli had never played Putt Putt before, so he was so excited to try it for the first time! It was a nice evening out and we were so surprised how well Eli did! I think we have a natural!

Happy Birthday Grace!

Eli's little "girlfriend", Grace Kidder, turned 4 years old this month!!! Eli wanted to sing a little song for her to celebrate her birthday. We love you, Grace!!! Happy Birthday!

Rolling Over

For the last few weeks Jayce has been rolling over! He goes after everything! However, when he gets over he doesn't like to be on his tummy very long. Take a look at the video to see his new development.

Preschool Tea Party

At the end of the preschool year Eli's class had a tea party. The kids were allowed to invite any family members to come for tea (was really water) and cookies. Also, the kids sang a few songs, said a prayer and received a booklet with pictures, a few crafts and an award for the year. It was so cute! We loved his teachers, Miss Jen and Miss Missy! They were wonderful with him and they said Eli always put a smile on their face! So proud of my little student!

Outdoor Soccer Pics

Last week was picture night for Eli's soccer team. Eli was all smiles for his pictures (Daddy, too)! Love it!

Waky Playground

We went to the new Wakarusa Playground recently with the Marrs, the Barhydts, and both of the Moyer families for a playdate. This playground is so nice! They even have a nice picnic area! It was a gorgeous day and Eli had so much fun playing with all the kids, and Jayce loved being outside, too! We will definitely go back soon!

Peas Please

Found out that Jayce LOVES peas!
