July Birthdays!

We went to Bettendorf this weekend to celebrate all the July birthdays!








 

New Office...

We stopped in Tipton today on our way to Bettendorf to see Nick's new work space. His store moved locations and he has a nice new office!

Outside...

We have been asking the boys to try to get outside a little more during the day. I worked from home today and caught Conner doing his "football training" as he calls it. I love his perseverance!

18...

18 years old. Doesn't seem possible. But, here we are, and they are indeed 18 years old today. After spending the day out on the boat, Conner and Ben opened some presents and enjoyed some ice cream lasagna! Happiest of birthdays to our two amazing sons who continue to bring us the best kind of joy. 









 

Happy Birthday!

Nick and I took today off work and the four of us went to lake Delhi to spend the boys' birthday on the lake! It was the perfect way to celebrate this extraordinary day! We all had so much fun and nothing comes close to spending the day our sons turn 18 at one of our favorite places. It was incredible!

Birthday Lunch!

We decided to do an early birthday lunch today at our favorite pizza place, Zoey's. The guys always enjoy the zookie after all the pizza!

Training...

Conner got his football training gear out today. By the time I got outside, he was laying on the ground, but he showed me how he runs through the obstacles with the parachute strapped to him! We love this kid's perseverance!

Bowling...

Nick and the boys spent some quality time at the bowling alley and arcade this afternoon! The scores were not great, but they all had a lot of fun!
