Time for another Instagram dump.  I can't believe how quickly time passes.  I would love to find a "Pause" button, especially now, over the summer months! :)

We went out to Yogurt Sundae.  The rest of us had about 4 oz. of yogurt.  Carter ended up with over 14 oz. and ate every bite.  This kid is going to eat us out of house and home!

End of school year piles.  I keep everything throughout the year and then at the end of the year, sort through and store the most important papers in a binder for every school year.  It is a long process, and I'm glad I'm done! :)

Evan and his boys at the groundbreaking ceremony at TCAAP in Arden Hills.  The boys loved the fireworks and cranes!

Ryan's first lacrosse tournament.  They ended up in last place.  :(

I got my ring back from the jeweler.  I was unable to get it over my knuckles, even though I had sized it twice since getting it last June. We put a SuperFit band on it that opens and closes rather than forcing the ring over my knuckle.  I love it! :)

Patiently waiting for his brother's ENT visit:

Leaving the ENT office.  They are not going to straighten his nose until he is an adult and done with contact sports.  It has a very slight turn to the left at the bottom of the nose:

We go to the library every Thursday during the summer months.  My boys love to read and fly through the books.  I am so thankful they enjoy reading, because I do, too! :)

Evan and his boys on Father's Day.  The sign on his board says "We have a Hero, we call him Dad".

Peonies from my back yard:

Carter's first time catching this season:

Carter wanted to send a thank you to the staff at Children's for the amazing care they provided while he was hospitalized.  He picked out toys for the children and wrote a thank you note to the staff.

Lukas and Ryan playing iPad in the shade at Carter's baseball game:

The boys came up with their summer fun list and wrote it on the patio door with dry erase markers:

I used Evan's lighted drawing table to copy one of Carter's drawings to a dishtowel.  It worked perfectly!  I love this!!! :)

Evan and I were working outside last weekend and I think this was Carter's way of telling us he was a little bored! :)  (He wrote his name in the sawdust on the driveway).

I sent the boys to the backyard to do a little weeding.  Shortly afterwards, Carter came to tell me about the new friend he found:

Ryan was much more nervous about holding him than Carter was:

Carter weeded for 2 hours and earned a new WWE wrestler:

My birthday gift from my boss - a Nike Fuel Band and bottle of wine:

Evan and Kyle with their lifetime membership to the MDHA granite plaques:

Me and my boys with the DQ cake that they surprised me with.  Grandma helped them pick it out.  :)
