May June extravaganza

Not that time and schedules ever really slow down around here...hence the turbo...but the last month seems to have been especially fun filled and busy.  Here is a lowdown on what I did take pics of, and notes on what I didn't at the end.

Joliet Slammers game for school with best buds was a really fun night this year.

 Tanner experienced his first parade and town festival.  He loved the candy at the parade. 

 We went to Starved Rock park with my parents to go hiking, or goating as my dad calls it.  The kids got all suited up in their vests, binoculars, and compasses.  Phoebe stopped often to draw in a journal.  Tanner stopped for snacks.  Annika stopped to tease Papa a couple times.  I just tried to keep up with them!

 My aunt/Godmother and cousin/Tanner's Godmother came for a weekend visit.  Super nice to see them and get to talk. Don't get to see them nearly enough. 

 That is my cousin's adorable little girl amongst my sillies.  They couldn't get enough of her.

 Jeff and I got crazy one night and literally at the last minute cancelled dinner reservations to drive to Milwaukee to see the Twins play the Brewers.  We got a smokin deal on stub hub and it was nicer and not nearly as far as we had thought.  A great date night.

 Annika finished out her baseball season.  She did a great job catching and even got a few hits at the end of the season.  We were really proud of how she did, and that she kept up, and even shined.  They had a great swim party/BBQ at the end. 

Tanner learned to ride his bike, but apparently I haven't taken pics yet, so that is on the agenda for today, and then those will get posted.

Throw into that Phoebe's birthday, recital, Granny visited, several trips to go swimming at my parents, a homeschool conference and curriculum decided on, Jeff working like a mad man, fishing for Father's Day (pics on my dad's camera), art projects, end of school, VBS and Sunday school planning, and more....I just have to figure out how to get the pictures from my new smartphone to the blog of our trip to Ohio.  hmmmm
I am ready for vacation!
