Our June

Only FIVE months of activities and two birthdays to catch up on! EEK! I refuse to give up on posting photos, but it has become even more difficult to stay on top of the photos. Here is what kept us busy in June...

At the beginning of June, the boys finished up second and fifth grades.    

Cole and Mrs. Rembusch--She will always be a favorite!

We celebrated a successful school year with a trip to Chuck E. Cheese's with friends.

Kieran was pretty excited about this ticket chain.

June was pretty rainy, but we tried to squeeze in time at Island Bay whenever we could.

Friendly game of ladders

Aunt Mariah joined in the yard game fun too.

Kieran and Miss Anna--He almost has it! I hope Anna is back next summer.

Cole took a refresher session with Grant.

Kieran braved the big yellow and red slides this summer and loved them.

Cole participated in a Tae Kwon Do camp.

Caden participated in a junior golf league through Piper Glen Golf Course. He really enjoyed playing, but the weather didn't cooperate for many matches.

Kieran had the chance to attend his very first "real" camp, and he was so excited about it. He went to t-ball camp with his buddies, Kody and Levi. He really enjoyed the camp. I was super pleased with how well the camp was run.

Caden attended baseball camp at Lincoln Land Community College. 

Cole's machine-pitch (a first for all of us!) baseball season with CBSI Cardinals

One of our trips out on the boat

Kieran was able to ride in the tube with his brothers for the first time. Of course, Curt did not go as fast when Kieran was riding. He loved it and felt so big!

The boys enjoyed some swim time while Curt and I enjoyed dinner on the upper deck at Island Bay. 

Caden and Cole attended Camp Invention at University of Illinois-Springfield. It was a full-day camp that lasted all week. Some days seemed a little long to Cole, but both boys enjoyed the experience.

For the first time, Caden attended a multi-night church camp. He was at Lake Springfield Christian Assembly for four nights and five days. It is safe to say he loved every minute and did not miss us much at all. They kept him very busy. He had a blast. It was so weird to not see Caden or have any communication with him for that many days. I am so glad he had so much fun!
