Daddy worked on lots of kid projects this weekend


The boys worked together to build a deck for under the playhouse!


Averly felt a little too confined in her clothes this afternoon, but insisted on wearing her favorite necklace!



 Our kids LOVE their Daddy's truck... They are born Southerners after all! 
 We love having the playhouse sit on the deck.  We even added small chairs to sit on the front porch!

 Daddy also built a sandbox and added soft white sand.
We didn't make it to the beach this year, so we brought the beach to Illinois.

 Skylar takes in all of the activities going on in our backyard.
 Maxie found a new squeaky toy.

She's a mess, what else can I say?

Starved Rock State Park, IL











We went to Starved Rock State Park the last Sunday of June.  We enjoyed a beautiful hike, saw lots of waterfalls and a few deer.  When we returned home I had to be rushed to the hospital and we found out I have a blood clot in my uterus!  The baby is doing great and growing as planned.  Needless to say I have been taking things very easy since this day at Starved Rock!
