Happy 3rd Birthday Megan!

Our beautiful little girl turned 3 today! She got to have her pictures taken, and then celebrate her birthday with Mommy, Daddy, Lucas and some friends. She even got some birthday brownies with candles in them!

Megan's 3rd Birthday Party

This weekend we celebrated Megan's 3rd Birthday! Aunt Barb and Grandma & Grandpa Suttmann even came in from Cincinnati to help celebrate! It was a bit hot & humid out, but Megan had fun with all of her friends anyway! Thanks to all who helped us celebrate!


Some cute pics with our visitors ... and one of Megan showing her ornery side. Looking forward to the teenage years ... :)

Moving Up To Preschool!

Megan is transitioning up to preschool this week! She'll miss her teachers, Ms. Stacy and Mr. Jeff, but she's excited to be with the big kids again. She may even run into Lucas on her new playground now. :)

Cincy Visitors

Val, Jason and Josh came to visit for the weekend. They got lots of Chicago-style food, hung out downtown, and even got to see the Lake Zurich Fireworks (yes, I'm sure the fireworks was the highlight :).

Megan had a hard time watching the fireworks ... she really liked the visual aspect and wanted to watch, but didn't like the noise. So instead, she kept sneaking peaks while hiding her face against Mommy and covered her ears hoping for a mute button. I think everyone else enjoyed the show, though.

Stomp Rocket & Some Fun

It's so hard to take care of two babies at the same time ...










The higher you jump, the higher the stomp rocket goes!

Introducing ... the "King of Ever"! And, not to be outdone, the "Queen of Ever". Please note that the accessories were all on their own. :)





Lucas and Megan had a great time with the stomp rocket trying to see how high they could get it to go. It got pretty high!

More Soccer!

Lucas had his last soccer game today followed by a small pizza celebration where each member of his team received their own trophy. Coach Ben informed us that he was impressed with how well Lucas improved over the season ... and he did improve. The first session was rough and it took Lucas 20 minutes to warm up to the coach and his teammates. By the last game, Lucas was awesome! He scored lots of of goals during the season and had a great time! Megan even had fun cheering him and the Bumble Bees on and practicing soccer on the side of the field.

Off to the Zoo

We picked a good day to go to the zoo. It was a little cool, considering it was June, but we got to see the new baby kangaroos hopping around and getting in and out of their mommies' pouches. We also got to enjoy a picnic lunch with Abby and her family before heading home.

Pre-K Bowling Night

Lucas' teachers usually have a Pre-K outing to see the local minor league team, but they didn't pay their bills and got kicked out of their stadium. So this year ... bowling! The kids had a blast! Between the bumpers and the ramps, they did really well. Thank you Ms. Katie & Ms. Carol for organizing such a fun outing for the kids!
