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!

June 9: First day at Camp Duncan
The weather is certainly not the greatest, but at least there is no threat of thunderstorms or tornados like we've been having the last 3 days.
Kaiky and Kyle were very excited this morning to start camp. Their friend, Josie, is also enrolled at Camp Duncan in Ingleside, IL.
June 6: Not just D-Day anymore!
It was the last day of school for both kids, Kaiky's kindergarten graduation and Bob and my 10th year anniversary!
This year, we were so lucky to have our dear friend, Karen, as not only our "sitter", but the kids' personal bus driver too! She really was awesome...picking up the kids in the bus, picking up Kaiky after kindergarten and then Cori and Kyle, too, after school in the afternoon. We don't know what next year will bring, but we sure appreciated it this year!
Mrs. Morris put on a very nice graduation ceremony for Kaiky's class and I was so excited to sit in the front row, right in front of Kaiky to watch her perform. Well, the little stinker would NOT look at me, Grandma or the camera the entire time! I
finally had to tear her hands off her face when we tried to get a last shot out on the playground. Congratulations, Kaiky on becoming a first grader!
Here we go! Last day of school!
Cori and Karen ready to go!
I'm a first grader now!
