Partying with the Cousins!

Summertime means festivals! We went to the church festival at Queen of All Saints in Michigan City, and the boys had lots of fun with their cousins Noah, Hayden and Nathan.


The boys decide to take a rest in the cool shade. Noah is 4,
Nathan (front) and Hayden (back) are 10 months old, Aaron is 9,
and Derek is 6. Jacob decided to nap rather than participate
in this photo shoot!


Cousin Noah and Derek relish the chance to ride this
dragon at breakneck speeds around the curves and bumps
of the rollercoaster.


Jacob finally woke up and took a few turns on the
favorite ride for him and Kristie.

Jacob turns Two!

Jacob's 2nd birthday party (and dad's too) was a very small celebration after a full day of baseball games. Bob and Jacob both share the same birthday (June 20, how cool is that!?).


The Birthday Boy takes a mighty puff and blows out
his candle!

card from Aaron and Derek


The guest of honor with his riches!

Hot Summer Days!!

When you're in Central Indiana and it gets hot and humid in the middle of the summer, what better way for the kids to cool off than a sprinkler out on the driveway?! The water is ice cold, and the boys had a great time running from the spray of the sprinkler.
