Kaiky pickin' corn amongst the mosquitos.
Check out all those ears!
Perfectly straight rows of kernels, no fertilizer or pesticides. I guess I'm an organic farmer!

Monday, August 5th - Corn!
Call me crazy, but growing our own corn was VERY exciting for me. Bob planted it, I tended it and the kids picked it. It was sooo sweet and awesome. It's so fun to just go to your back yard and pick it right off the stalk whenever you need an ear of corn. Next year we'll plant more!

Kyle's big birthday bash!
Kyle's 8th birthday party was one of the best we've ever had and on the lowest budget! We filled over 300 water balloons, many buckets of water and provided squirt guns and the bounce house and just let the kids go crazy! They had a great time!
Here's Kyle peekin' out of the bounce house.
BFFs Cori, Kaiky, Kyle and Chris
"I love it!!"
"ooooh ahhhhhhh......"

Happy 4th of July!
We had a really great 4th of July this year, it was actually NOT hot!
We started with the Northbrook 4th of July Parade.
Then we played in the Annual Mikey & Friends Softball Game at Northbrook Junior High. It was cute to see the second generations starting to play - our Kyle and Matt and Kelly's boys Connor and Tyler. Kaiky and Madison were cheerleaders.
We had dinner at Grandma & Grandpa's house and did some monkeying around there until it was time for fireworks!

Splashin' summer fun!
There's nothing like hot summer days spent at the pool with all your friends! Left to right: Chantz, Kyle, Josie, Cori, Kaiky, Eddie and Leah.
Kyle's flippin' out!
Lilies are blooming
These are planted along the front walk where the other flowers I posted earlier this year are. These are one of my favorite varieties and it looks like they will need to be divided this fall.
Following in Mama's stirrups
Here's our big girl horseback rider, Kaiky. She's very proud that she rides Mom's horse and has all of the accessories now to be a real rider.
Look how little she is on that big red horse!
