Tyler's First I-Cubs Baseball Game

We left Hannah with her Aunt Cindy & Uncle Kyle in West Des Moines for the evening and met the Lutz family at the ballpark for an I-Cubs game. It was Tyler's first baseball game and he had a blast - especially in the water fountain! :) Tyler and his friend Juliana sat thru 3 innings then were treated to a full inning of playing in the fountain.

 Here is the post-fountain popcorn snack than helped them make it thru a few more innings before their 9th inning second-trip to the fountain before we left.

Day out with Daddy and he took them on a bike ride to the park. Hannah fell asleep on the trip home!

Happy 4th of July!

Our first trip of the summer to the Ames water park

Tyler was very proud to finally be tall enough to go down this slide. I lost count of how many trips he made up the stairs and down the slide!

Hannah really wasn't very interested in playing in the water. She just wanted to sit in their new little red chairs in the shade by Grandma Janelle and play with the diving rings!

New goggles!

Our Early 4th of July Weekend

We head to Knoxville each year around the 4th of July to spend time with Adam's family. The development his parents live on shoot off fireworks from the dam on the lake and they have a perfect view from their deck full of extended family to watch. This year they shot them off Friday night - it wasn't even July yet, but we still enjoyed it! Tyler and Hannah had fun playing with all of their cousins.

Sparklers!!

 

 Hanging out with Papa

 Cheese!!

 Ready to watch the fireworks with Grandma Linda

 

 Hannah loved watching the fireworks. The noise didn't bother her a bit, but she was definitely ready for bed as soon as they were over!

 

 Hey Dad - whacha doin?

 Can I help?

 I like my sweet corn raw!

 We celebrated Hannah's birthday with his family on Saturday. Here is her birthday dinner.

 And Tyler - ready to celebrate!

 Opening gifts

 

 She loved her puppy from Aunt Nicki - pointing out its eyes (one of her first words)

 ...and giving it lots of kisses!

 Another stuffed animal to love!

 A new bath toy

 And her very own tricycle!

 Grandma got her a DQ ice cream cake!

 And cupcakes!

 

 Yum!

 

 

 

 After lunch Adam and Kyle went golfing and we hung out in the back yard.

 Sprinkler fun with cousins Sarah, Jacob, Tyler & Hannah

  Slip & Slide

 And a pool!

 

 Can you see the scars around Hannah's eye? She and Tyler were jumping on his bed and this little monkey fell off and bruised her face on the toy box! :( Good thing she is a tough little monkey!

 Mom's drink always tastes better!
