Summer Time Soccer

Zach and Tyler were on the same team with a couple of other kids from school. The games

were always on Saturday, they finished the season 8-0. When Amy was out for the graduation parties along with her girls, they were able to see a game.

Flowers of Cantigny

Another Trip to Cantigny!

Mike & Tara and kids were out for a weekend and we decided to take them to Cantigny. It was so much prettier this time around, all the flowers were in bloom. Jeff's parents joined us

we packed a lunch and had a picnic in the park, then off to the tanks--the kids loved it.

Landon loved the tanks--he was so much fun to watch!

It was a hot day, but the kids did great walking everywhere and seeing all the

cool things. We saw about seven different wedding parties throughout

the day taking pictures.

Ready for High School

It was a nice ceremony and hard to believe that they are ready for High School. We

had an open house celebration a couple of days later and combined it with

Jake and Lauren's High School Graduation. We had the party by Jim and Leah's it

was a fun day--Aunt Amy made it out for the big party, which also turned into

a engagement celebration for Lee & Lauren.

Spring Break

We went to the Cantigny Museum. We first went to dad's office

to see where he works and then to the museum. It was a fairly nice day for March

and we walked around and saw all the army tanks that the kids could climb on. We next went

into the museum where they have a section dedicated to all of the wars

that United States has been involved with, pretty cool. We also took a tour of the

mansion of Robert McCormick--alot of history there.
