June

June has gone by in a flash but here are some pictures to sum it up! We've been keeping busy.. playing outside, going to the farmer's market, playing with our cousins and friends, celebrating birthdays and enjoying time with family!

Aiden wasn't too sure about the sprinkler right here.

The girls had these curlers in overnight one time again, Taylor did not like the tight curls she had in the morning!

We had a cookout and the kids played in the sprinklers

Happy Father's Day! We met at Riverside Park for a picnic and cookie cake!

We went to the New Zoo in Green Bay

Grandma and Grandpa M with all their grandkids

We practiced riding bikes

My parents took a little field trip to the nature center one day when I only had a couple extra daycare kids

We played at lots of parks

We celebrated Grandpa M's birthday

and we got to meet a friend's new baby, Camden! Aiden loved giving him kisses and Taylor can't wait to hold him again.. me either!

Hailey talked all about him after we got home but wasn't too sure about getting too close when we were there.

Taylor's Birthday Weekend

Taylor turned 6 this past weekend and since we already celebrated with family a few weeks earlier, we had invited a lot of her school friends to celebrate with us at the Best Western Bridgewood Resort in Neenah. We had never been there but had seen pictures and we were very happy with the place!

Hailey was very brave and went down a million times herself

Daddy was on Aiden duty and they had lots of fun playing in the kiddie pool and on the slide

Grandma M came over Saturday morning to make the cake, she did a great job and it was yummy.

All the kids- Tyler, Maggie, Grace, Kelsie, Drew, Hailey, Tatiana, Taylor, Sammy, Karli & Emily

Aiden enjoyed the pizza

All the kids eating supper

Taylor had a serious case of the giggles

We stayed at the hotel and got a beautiful room. All of the presents were on this cart, but Aiden thought he'd clear it to play on..yikes

and we had lots more time to play in the pool area as a family

Hailey's Birthday and the rest of May

We had a busy rest of May, including Hailey's birthday and a family birthday party to celebrate Hailey & Taylor's birthdays together!

Hailey turned 4 and she is so happy to be another year older, me however, I can't believe yet again how fast the time flies by and wish the kids would stay little longer!

The kids and I walked friendship trail one afternoon when Ben had to work

and we checked out the new park on the other end of the trail, very fun.

Ben took the last week of May off to go fishing with his Dad, something they've never done and they enjoyed themselves.

The kids have really been enjoying going for bike rides in the evening and on weekends when it's not too hot.

We helped celebrate Grandpa & Grandma Topinka's 63rd wedding anniversary on Sunday afternoon

The kids and I went and played at Jefferson Park one Thursday night when Ben had softball there, but it was so windy! Still fun.

and we had a picnic on Sunday afternoon at Grandma & Grandpa Mrnak's

The kids had fun going on a tractor ride with Grandpa

We missed camping this year over Memorial Day weekend but we enjoyed watching the parade downtown and checking out the area a little bit

This big girl turned 6 this past weekend.. I will post another blog for that

We broke out all the sprinklers last week and cooled off a bit

Aiden wasn't too sure about it

April - Taylor Loses Teeth! House is done! Etc...

Sorry for the lack of posting! Our April flew by and it was a busy month! Full of house work, easter eggs hunts, playing with our friends and cousins, and helping Grandma and Grandpa M move up here!

Here is the house, done! yay! It looks great, so glad for all of the help!

We had a couple of easter egg hunts, which the kids loved. Yes, it was one of the warmer days!

Megan and Aiden playing at their new house

Aiden has to help me with the dishes every single time so I try to do them while he's napping, lol

We played at Sunset Park for the first time in Kimberly and it is nice

Taylor lost 2 teeth!

Aiden was laughing and talking to Layla

and Taylor was watching her too, lol

Cooper and Layla are getting married soon I hear... at least that's what Grandma P and the girls have cooking, lol.

These girls were too cute one morning, whispering in each other's ears.

Grandma and Grandpa moved up here.. 8 mins away or so, sooo nice to have them close! So happy we don't have to drive so far so often anymore too :)  Welcome to the neighborhood!
