Two weeks before school was out Jaedyn got glasses. She was so funny when I brought them home and she had them on for the first time--she says "O, mom I can see you so good" she then went outside and just started taking everything in, so cute. She has been pretty good with them--the second night she had them and we were playing cards and it got kinda crazy and the glasses went flying, they were fine. We have lost them only once and looked for 30 minutes before we found them in the corner of the family room by the bookshelf. She does sometimes forget to put them on, but that will come as she definitely needs them to see good.

Jaedyn's 10th Birthday June 28 -- Two Parties
We celebrated Jaedyn's 10th birthday with the family on Saturday. We had lunch first of pizza and salads--then it was time to open gifts. Jaedyn got a lot of cool gifts--Easy Bake Oven and accessories, shorts/t-shirt, tote bag, knee pads, flip flops and Old Navy gift card. We played a couple of games and just hung with everyone by the pool--it was a great party!

Tyler's 12 -- June 18!
Tyler's 12 or pre-teen as he likes to put it. We didn't do too much--at night we got Wendy's per Tyler's request and went and ate it while watching Ben and Samantha play, they were both playing at Veteran's. We then went to Gowens and watched Zach. Steve and Tanya were passing thru on their way to Iowa, so we were able to spend a little time with them. Tyler received quite a bit of birthday money, which he is saving and from mom and dad he got a new swimsuit and a blanket that I made. He wasn't too thrilled about the blanket(as his dad predicted), but it's one of those practical gifts he will use often and come to love.

Memorial Day
We went to the parade in South Holland--Zach had to walk in it for Babe Ruth Baseball. It was a hot day, but it didn't stop the kids from running to get all that good parade candy! After the parade some of us stayed at Veterans Park for Ben's game and the rest of us went to Grandpa and Grandma Bleyenburg to hang out by the pool--the water was cold, but the kids were brave and went in. We grilled and early dinner and just enjoyed being outside with family.

Memorial Day Weekend
Saturday afternoon and evening at Munster Park with the Zandstra's. It was beautiful outside and we had a good time playing at the park, playing a game of wiffle ball--the boys vs the girls and the parents, playing bad minton and grilling dinner. It did get a little chilly, but if we sat in the sun it was nice.
