Where have you been?

Holy crap has it been a long time since I have posted anything... I almost forgot how to type! So, I will start at April 1: We bought a house! We bought the house in Rockford. We swore that we would never send our kids to Rockford... at least I know that they will have great educational opportunities!

Since then, We celebrated Easter (at our house): Joe and Sara surprised us and came home for the weekend!

The Miss grew hair - long enough for pig tails!

Isaac passed his Kindergarten screening and will start at Meadow Ridge in the fall.

I planted a garden of Tomatoes, peppers, beans, peas, squash, zucchini, carrots, strawberries and some herbs.

We scored free internet (as long as Sherry is here to hold the cord like so)

We went camping twice - Camp Concordia and PJ Hoffmaster

We ate at Jimmy John's
Irelynn likes to wear shoes now

We bought and Rob installed a new dishwasher

Isaac turned 5!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ann at the party
Eyeball punch
We ate $5 elephant ears at the Start of Summer Celebration in Rockford.
Indiana Jones party
Gram Gram's awesome cake
Rob got Lasik, although I wouldn't suggest his surgeon
The kids started helping with laundry (and no, they have not thrown toys down the laundry chute... yet)

I grew peonies

My dad got new hair for Father's Day (he glued it to his motorcycle helmet)

Nana tried to get the Miss to enjoy the water...

Isaac got a slip n slide from Uncle Jon



Irelynn started walking and talking. Here's a sample of what she says: Hi, Hello, Bye, Ball, Guy, Mom, Dad, Isaac, Nana, Papa, Grandma, MaGooGoo, Spaghetti, Goggles, Three, Nine, Five, Ninety, Poop, Diaper, No no, Jon, Joe, Sara, Ohio, UhOh, TaDa, Sixty, Light, Na Night, Silky, Buddy, Cracker, Cuckoo, Baby, Puppy, Do It, Do What, Do That, Cookie, Milk, Ouch, Belly, Tickle

If you made it through all of that... you're crazy, but thanks for looking! I will try to update a little more often now that I have internet access!!
