Trip to Phoenix

 Matt and Evie made pirate bandanas out of toilet paper

(at Native New Yorker for lunch with Aunt Peg)

We spent two days at a resort in Phoenix. Here the kids tried mini golf again. 

 We spent most of the time in the pool. Here are the kids swimming around the waterfall.

Ike's 18 Month Appointment

Our baby is already 18 months old! He weighed in at over 29 pounds (98%) and measured 34.5 inches in height (98%). Here he is with his handsome papa.

Is it a boat or a spaceship?

 Leave it to the kids to turn a trashy cardboard box into a spaceship/boat

Summer Heat

It's the end of July, and the heat is brutal. Even the playground at 8am is too much for these kids.

Toys R Us

 Sometimes we run out of things to do around here in the summer, so today we went to Toys R Us with the kids. Evie and Ike had a great time playing in the car section.

 A date with Evie (at the mall)

Here are the two kids watching Frozen together. They are so sweet!

Soccer practice and the museum

 Grumpy Evie didn't want to play soccer today

Picnic time!

Playing around in the Jeep

 Evie drives the fire truck (at the museum)

Playing with the ball floater

Nice hair, Ike!

Monsoon rains!

After the rain stopped, we all went out to play in the flooded street. It was my one chance to wear my Wellies this year!

Here's a cute picture of Ike at an outdoor concert (eating edamame)

Peter Piper Pizza and other fun pictures

 Evie rode her first roller coaster at Peter Piper Pizza. She loved it!

 Ike rode the teacups and thought that was pretty cool, too.

 Here is Evie with her friend David (making silly faces) at St. Mark's summer camp

Fourth of July and Evie's First Soccer Game

Sparkler time!

 Smiling Mamas (Anna, Katie, and me)

 Evie's first soccer game - she wasn't a fan of the indoor experience (too loud for her)

Hanging on the sidelines with Kelley

Iker and Hoody

She wasn't in the mood for a picture, but you can at least see her jersey and tutu :)
