I'm a big kid now!

Last week Kale finally decided that he would like to pedal on a real bike instead of a tricycle. We were at Mimi Jan's and he saw the older kids riding and he wanted to also.

So, when we got home and told daddy, he was so excited. We couldn't just go to Walmart and get a bike, no we had to go to Bloomington Cycle. I am really glad that we got him a nice sturdy bike that can grow with him. He was so excited about picking it out and he also got to pick out the cool Pirate helmet.

Now we will just wait and see how long it takes him to break something. Let's hope not!!!

1st Annual Owens Pool Party

2 Saturday's ago, our neighbors Bryon and Corey had their first annual pool party. We (Kacy especially) had a great time. The kids were invited until dark and then the fun began. We felt like were in college again. It was great fun swimming, drinking, eating and bouncing in the bounce house. We also got to meet new friends in LeRoy and well as spend time with people we already know. Here are just a few shots from the night.

4th of July Update......Finally

Have been such a bad blogger lately. I hate when I look at everyone else's blog and they don't update, but yet I don't myself.

Well, here is how our 4th of July went.

The morning started out with the Bloomington/Normal Association of Realtors Parade. We ended up winning Best in Parade. The boys got a blue ribbon and big American Flag (mommy was the most excited). After that we went to breakfast with Mimi Vicki and Papa Steve. It was a gorgeous morning.

After breakfast we went and met Mimi Jan and Jack, my nephew, at the new Embassy Suites in East Peoria. We stayed all night there and had a great time. The fireworks were phenomenal and the boys had a great time playing and swimming.

Hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th and I will try to be better about blogging.

Happy 4th of July!!!!!!!!

As many of you know, 4th of July is my favorite holiday. I am not sure why, I just love it! It was also the very first holiday that Todd and I spent together.
I have made a 4th of July card every year since having Kale and the outfit that Augie is wearing in the card is the same exact one that Kale wore his first 4th. I think Augie fills it out a little better though.
Hope everyone has a fun and safe 4th and we hope to hear from you soon!
