At the sandbar!

Gotta love hanging out at the sandbar on a hot sunny day! We had tons of fun. The water was a little cold, so Teagan wasnt a big fan of going in, but she loved splashing everyone!! I think she is a little too big for her floaty...

dance like aunt Jamie

Fremont WI. we went to my parent's trailer this weekend for memorial day. The weather was wonderful! Teagan had so much fun. She called it "grandma's play house".

Letting the froggies go

Letting the frogs go for the mosquitoes. There was no way i was letting her bring them in the house. i finally got her to let them go, thank goodness! I let the big ones go in the creek by our house (it was dried up when i went over there but we wont tell teagan), and she let the little ones go.

getting braver with the frogs

Teagan was getting pretty good at picking them up. i think they were starting to die or just get really tired of getting picked up.

froggy snuggle monsters

"these frogs are snuggle monsters". grandma g kept saying how much she didnt like them but i didnt want teagan to catch on so i kept diffusing.

Frog catching

catching frogs at grampa Jims and grama g's house before grampa jim puts chlorine in the pool.

5 year anniversary!

Celebrating our 5th anniversary at bowling. lisa thought she was taking a picture but was videotaping. We had a lot of fun. will be celebrating it for real sometime in the next few weeks... hopefully

sprinkler for first time this year!

After swim lessons, it was so hot we decided to get out the sprinkler for the first time. Teagan loved it. Cant wait to use it this weekend if the weather cooperates!

Here is our first attempt at painting the giant mothers day pots...

Corn on the Cob

Teagan found it too hard to keep holding onto the cob, so she decided not to hold onto it at all...smart child...

Toddler Bed

Last night Teagan slept in her real toddler bed for the first time. she did real well. we only had to go upstairs once and then she was down. Then for her nap today she went to sleep right away and came walking down while i was making dinner. Now we are in for night number two, and chris is currently back up in her room because we heard the door close. Will keep you posted on how many times we have to go upstairs. it is kind of like an every other night thing.

it was funny, this morning when i was getting ready i looked in her room and she was half way on her bed and her knees and  feet were on the floor. i posted a picture on facebook since i dont have any more memory on here to put pictures. it made me laugh. and then after i took the picture she started to wake up, but she just got up and layed all the way in her bed. i was a proud mommy this morning... i will let you know how proud i am tomorrow.

The Dells and then some

Wisconsin Dells Trip

Friday, our first day at the water park. Teagan loved it!!! I think her swim lessons helped a lot with her not being scared of the water. She dove right in. She also kept trying to get her hair wet in the water spouts.
this is her first for minutes into the water. i dont think she knew where to start first.


Teagan's favorite slide. I think she went on this one at least 50 times if not more!


a little glimpse of everyone. The smallest one in the furthest swing was the Hyla's baby, Noelle. The little boy in the the other swing is Ben, the Wendells little boy who is exactly one month younger than Teagan. This was our favorite park for the kids. We didnt go to the wild west one this time, too far to walk.


Teagan is not a big fan of the giant bucket...


Just playing in the water toys. That kid with the turtle, teagan ended up going down the slide with him a million times on her favorite slide  the last day we were there.


Chris getting Teagan ready for the big bucket...


 and she did it...

Andrew's Party/McDonalds Woods

Sorry, little behind on the videos.

Andrew's 2nd Birthday. It was at a gymnastics place in Libertyville. Teagan loved it. they just had time to play, and then some music and activity time. Of course when it was time for music, Teagan ran straight to the middle of the group and joined in.



this was one of my favorite games in gym as  a kid. i loved playing with the parachute. Teagan liked it too. She wasnt quite sure what to do at first, but then liked the concept.


We went to McDonald woods in my old neighborhood and Teagan walked the entire way. i think it said it was about 2 miles the route we took. This is what kept Teagan entertained towards the end, kicking all the fuzzies, and as you can see there were tons of them!!! Toby loved the walk as well.
