A Few Pictures

Thought I would post a few pictures from around here lately.

Will and Oliver get along so well. It's so nice at this age, because Oliver doesn't bug Will too much yet, and they are always so happy to see each other.

Here are the guys enjoying our amazing pool. Ha. With it and our Weber on the back patio, we are looking real classy...especially when a 4 year old, a baby in just a diaper and a full grown man are treating it like a full size pool. Jarod loves to 'heat up the grill and take a dip in the pool'.

A few weeks ago we were supposed to go be with my cousins for a weekend, but something came up (work) and we ended up not being able to go. So Jarod took us to Chicago that Sunday to make up for it. I had been wanting to take Will to see the Shedd Aquarium for a while, so that's what we did.

We waited in line in the blazing heat wave. Jarod took the boys in the shade for a while, as I kept our spot in line. Love this picture of them.

I took a few pictures of Oliver in the Shedd, but they all turned out like this...

Will has never cared about dolphins, I figured it was because he had never seen one in action. He finally did, and loved it.

We got a suite at the Westin in Lombard (our favorite hotel in the suburbs). Love this place, great pool, two great restaurants downstairs, shopping all around, and not as expensive as staying downtown...plus free parking. We had never gotten a suite before, but the place was huge. This is looking from the main room down to our bedroom.It was awesome for letting the boys run and crawl.

A familiar sight around our house.

Will loved watching cartoons when he wasn't swimming with his dad in a real pool.
Happy Thursday!

I am SO glad you guys got to get away just with your little family! It looks like you had so much fun!!

I laughed out loud at Jarod taking a dip in his pool. Every time I think about him lounging in his pool while his steaks are on the grill I laugh out loud...I don't know why, but it never gets old!

Creepy and pervy are the words that come to mind when I see my brother, a grown man, in a kiddie pool :)
