Summer Fun

Hey guys! Long time, no see! Well, we went to Dubuque the other day and went to the river museum with my nephews and sister in law. Was fun to see everyone! The river museum is always a good time. Then we went to dinner with a friend of Burger's. Also always a good time!

Yesterday our air conditioner stopped working. Awesome sauce. So the furnace guys are here today installing a new furnace and air conditioner.

I ordered Jacob a new booster car seat at a deeply discounted price from a web site I heard about. Great deal! Now I'm waiting for it to come in the mail. It should be delivered today...

Emrick is wanting to use the potty now. Well, sometimes. Enough that I am starting to make her use the potty even when she doesn't really want to...

The kids wanted capes the other day so I went and bought some heavy duty safety pins and pinned hand towels onto the shoulders of their shirts. They think this is the most awesome thing ever! And, I'm pretty sure it is...

Great Day!

Well, I uploaded the pictures completely backwards, but you still get the idea! The kids and I went shopping at Target then the mall. We played at the mall then had Subway for lunch! The kids ate every single bite of it! Then we got cones from Coldstone's. And when we got home we picked up the living room and Jacob passed out on the couch. Somewhere in there we stopped at the grocery store and got fruit to make some popsicles! We had a really fun day together!

Jacob graduated Preschool!

Weekend Fun!

1.) Friday, we went to the Fourth Street Cruise Show and Shine. The kids were crazy people! My mom and I took them to the petting zoo. They love it there!

2.) This is what we do when we hang out at home.

3.) Yesterday we went to my parent's house and washed the cars. The kids played in the water and had a blast!

Today was Jacob's last day of preschool. He doesn't seem to mind one way or the other but I am super happy to have him home with me for the entire summer! Tomorrow we have park day with his school. The kids will sing some songs and play at the park with their school friends then we will go back to the school to have a sack lunch on the school lawn! Jacob is really excited!

Fun Times!

1.) Jacob drew a picture of a water slide with the sidewalk chalk!

2.)Emrick and Great Grandma playing sidewalk chalk together.

3.) Emrick walking to get Jacob from school.

4.) Jacob playing at Great Grandma's.

Catch Up!

OK, so I am really bad at Picture a Day May! Soon it will June and I feel like I have kind of failed at this mission. I will admit, I have posted WAY more than I probably would have, had I not promised a picture a day in May. So, that counts for something, right?

1.) We went for a walk in the rain on Friday. The kids thought it was fun to wear their rain coats. They already wear their rain boots all the time!

2.) Emrick dressed as a cowgirl when we went to Jacob's school for Family Gathering.

3.) Today we went to a car show and there was an Army helicopter there for the kids to see. They got to climb right up there and check everything out. My kids thought it was the most awesome thing ever! We had a great time!

4.)The kids playing ball at Grandpa Oldenburger's house on Saturday. They took turns with the bat and Jacob can actually hit the ball sometimes when some one throws it to him!

5.)Emrick in her rain gear. She was telling the rain to 'Stop!'

Bubble Fun

I bought a bunch of super fun bubble blowers for the kids yesterday! We had tons of fun blowing bubbles and being outside. Today we were busy! We had a Family Gathering at Jacob's school and got to see all the fun things they have been growing there. Then I bought a new coffee table and end table from a friend's garage sale. It's quite a bit bigger than our current coffee table but it fits and we're getting used to it! The end table is a nice addition, since we never had one. Tomorrow Jacob's teacher is coming for his end of year home visit. I think it counts as his last student/teacher conference, so we should get a lot of information on how he has been doing and all the things they have been teaching him. Next week is his last full week of preschool. That went crazy fast!
