Father's Day 2012

This afternoon, we took the boys to the Quad Cities River Bandits game.  It was a perfect summer day for baseball.  They ate pizza, Cracker Jacks, and drank lemonade.  We enjoyed some time with just the boys.

Jack and Will frosting Moose's cake.  They added red and green (their favorite colors) sprinkles too.  It looked more like a Christmas wreath than a Father's Day cake:)

That is cowboy Buffalo Will and cowboy Jack in the background with Dr. Syd.

Sydnee kept the costume on for several minutes.  We were surprised.  She reminds me of the doctor from Sons of Anarchy with the squirt gun in her hand. 

From sunshine to storms

It was a muggy one here in tropical Muscatine.  After a morning of errands (Menards for a new water heater; Aldi for snacks; and Happy Joe's for lunch), the boys returned ready for Benner Beach.   After dinner, Moose made a house out of the water heater box.  It even had a mailbox:)


Sydnee sporting her shades.

Allison kept her sunglasses on for at least 15 minutes today!

Sydnee and Allison enjoyed sitting poolside and dipping their toes in the water.

Summer Days

Last weekend, Moose was a bit under the weather.  He took a nap under the tree and was joined by Sydnee and Allison.


Sydnee snuggled with Moose.  Not sure why the picture is sideways.

Allison collided with the end table.  Moose was called home from work for that one.

Last week, the kids and I went to the zoo.  Jack and Will giggle at the monkeys.

Sydnee and Allison enjoyed the view from the stroller.

Will and Jack busted out their soldier costumes this week.  The camo shorts were completely a coincidence.

This is one way to get laundry folded and put away.
