In reverse order, this is what we have done since May! (Sorry for the picture overload... I tried to keep it to a minimum!)
July 13-14
We went to Ashley and Matt's wedding in Des Moines. On Friday we enjoyed some pool time with Uncle Jim and Auntie Marge, along with my mom and dad. Friday night Mckenna and Brooke had their very first sleep over. They slept in the same room on two little cots. (Dad did his Lamb Chop routine for them, it was so very cute!) Saturday was the wedding.
Quentin's first haircut! He was such a good boy and looks so handsome in his new haircut!
July 4th
We went to the O'Fallon Parade. Mckenna had a great time watching the floats and catching candy. I think our favorite memory of that day was Mckenna screaming "Look, it's a tuba!" when the marching band marched by. She was right, it was a tuba, Matt couldn't believe that she knew what a tuba looked like! After the parade we went back to John and Charlene's to rest, play in the pool and have some BBQ!
June 28
The zoo opened the new Sea Lion exhibit. It was awesome. I didn't get too many pictures, as there were a TON of people there and I couldn't get them out of my way!
It shall be mentioned, only once, that I turned 30 this year. Mom came down for a quick visit. I really enjoyed my day with her. We took the kids shopping and then we went to dinner. Sadly, I don't have any pictures to show for, but this was a special day and I wanted to make sure it was recorded in some way!
June 9
All Saints Picnic... We took the kids up to the picnic again this year. Just like last year Mckenna loved the rides. The favorite this year was the Farris Wheel. I think she rode it 5 times, recruiting someone new each time. (Let the record show that I am still a wimp and didn't ride on anything, except the Merry-go-Round) Quentin was a great sport and watched his big sister, without a doubt he will be along side her next year!
Mckenna's Little Gym celebration. She has grown SO much over the last year. She can almost walk on the balance beam by herself, she can swing from the bars, do a basket on the bars, she is close to doing a roll around the bars. She amazes us! Quentin also got to join in on some of the fun this day!
May 25-29
We spent Memorial Day in Iowa as usual! John and Charlene came with us and we were joined by all the Von Bons too! We had a great time boating in the new boat, playing in the water, watching the boys play games and eating good food! On Monday Angela, Jeremy, Addison and Carter came out too! The girls had a great time playing and the boys even got a little wrestling match in! :) On Tuesday we spent some time with Auntie Marge poolside!
For Mother's day we went to a local restaurant, JJ's with the Lucas clan. We tried to take some pictures of the group. It is very difficult to make 3 toddlers and a baby look at the camera at the same time. Or I could argue that it was even more difficult to get the big boys to look at the camera and smile with their mother.
Just hanging out and spending time together. The pool has been out many times and the kids are enjoying the sun. Mckenna got her first ice cream of the year from the ice cream truck.

How have we not run into each other? You frequent so many of the same places we do. AND we are having a hard time setting up a playdate?!? C'mon, Universe, throw us a bone! :) They are so cute and I can't wait to see them in person.
