Botanical Gardens

Nolan, Avery, and Kaylee enjoyed a trip to the Botanical Gardens in Highland Park, IL with their grandma and grandpa Hassman!  It was a 90 + degree day, but that didn't stop them from enjoying the gardens, train exhibit, and butterfly exhibit.

 LOVE the little hands reaching for one another in the car!

 Trying to catch the Butterflies!

Such a serious little face--I wonder what she is thinking?

Sprinkler Fun!

It was so warm in Chicago in the early part of the summer that we were able to enjoy lots of water fun! We played in the backyard with the sprinkler, and then we took a trip to a sprinkle park with one of my friends.  Avery has no fear, she was running around the sprinkler and she was playing with everything at the sprinkle park--getting herself completely soaked.  It was fun to watch her get splashed and then just giggle!  Nolan really enjoyed the big water guns at the park.

May Fest

We enjoyed May Fest with Mark, Cheryl, and Grandma and Grandpa Pat and Dan.  I loved watching Avery and Kaylee interact.  They were too cute sitting in a city doorway with Grandpa Dan.

Strutting her stuff.

Avery and Kaylee, one had the water the other the snacks....

Memorial Day Fun

For Memorial Day we had my parents, and my brother over for a bbq.  It was a warm day, so we enjoyed some pool time and the day ended with a little nature walk!

Last Day of 3 year old Preschool

Seems this year of school for Nolan just flew!  I can remember standing out back and taking Nolan's going to school photos, he was so excited!  Well the school year is now almost over and Nolan has to say goodbye to his wonderful teachers Mrs. deGeus and Mrs. Osowski.  He loved his teachers and the other children in his class.  After the last day he asked me, "why do I have to get new teachers? I love mine already."

Here is a few pictures of Nolan and his teachers.
