Happy Father's Day/Last t-ball day

Daddy took the girls to the park!

Highlight of their trip! An owl during the daytime!

They were mouskecising..as Mickey Mouse calls it!

Happy Father's Day daddy..we took him to Red Robin...nothing like a cheeseburger and a beer.

She got a medal for doing such a good job at t-ball.

Ella with her friend Abby.

Bella and Abby with my girls...bestest of friends.

Having some outside fun time...just drinking some lemonade while taking a break from the pool.

On the way to meet daddy at his work for Fun Fest.

They saw

Ella and Eva had a great time sitting in ALL the army vehicles.

What a cute family pic!

Lifting some weights ;o)

Copying her daddy

Date day...finally! We waited way too long. We went golfing and had dinner.

Don't I look like a pro..wish I was actually good at it! I could really fool somebody.

The best part of golfing. :o)

Since Ella is part of the Reds Heads Kids Club she got to parade on the field on Sunday. She enjoyed it!

Ella and Eva in my arms were giving the fans high fives. They thought they were pretty special.

Eva has her hand on her heart for the national anthem. I didn't even have to tell her, we stood, she saw the flag, asked me to hold her toy and placed her hand on her heart. Too cute!

Yes Eva was really hot...It was 94 and sunny so pretty miserable. Eva and I sat in the shade outside the field for part of the game.

We took these pics for dad for Father's Day, framed them and put them in black and white. Daddy loved them!

Well the start of summer has been crazy. We have been so busy hence the reason I didn't update last week. I can not believe that its already the end of June. It's crazy how fast time goes! Although we are super excited the 4th is finally here so that we can travel home to Minnesota and spend the week with the Vondals for mom and dad's 40th anniversary. We haven't seen Brett since last July so a full year, thats ridiculous. It will also be nice to see Jon and Alana, Dave and Becky, and mom and dad Lindahl. Not looking forward to the trip home but we haven't done it for quite awhile, so its definitely our turn. We have been going to baseball games, doing t-ball practice, and having playdates in the sun (and water). It's been pretty hot here so water is a necessity. Another highlight was daddy's Fun Fest day, every year the base puts on a family focused event with games and food/rides. It was another really hot day but we tried to stay in the shade and we had a great time. There was a dressed up white man who tried to resemble a statue. He would walk then freeze and walk some more...mimicking and scarying people beside him, well Eva was freaked out by him and for the first hour she wanted to leave because she thought he was going to get her. We had a code name; Casper in case we saw him, then we ran in the opposite direction. Silly girl, lately she scared and suspitious of everything. Well we hope everyone is enjoying their summer and enjoy and safe and happy 4th of July holiday with their loved ones.

Eva at baseball...has to wear a hat just like her big sister.

It was picture day..had to wear her baseball pants.

The Bluejays!

My little stud muffin!

Ella's picture perfect skills.

Ella's dancing because she was excited for her preschool graduation...even though she will be back in Preschool next year. Not that she's held back, she was just in it early.

Daddy took Ella to the PGA Memorial Golf Tournament here June 3rd. Tiger Woods won it!

Monday we visited the zoo...everyone had a wonderful time. It was the perfect day for it.

The girls loved their cousins.

The girls with grandma...chillin and watching the fishy's in the aquarium.

Mom skipped the boat ride..but got a great pic. Thanks mom!

Isn't this pic cool...You can see Savi in the glass above it. It's some kind of cat..forget the correct name of it.

The girls loved feeding the birds.

I hope Ella and Eva remain as close as CJ and Savi.

Eva was asleep in record time...with cotton candy still in her hand.

Ella said she wasn't tired but not too long down the road she was out too..as you can see Savi had to hold her head up.

We watched baby Drew and Sammy on Monday so our friends could go to the Red Hot Chili Pepper's concert. Baby Drew at 6lbs was a hit.

My mom held him the most because she loves little babies and we were all fine with it too. A good night for all of us.

Jenna who is now a certified nurse practitioner as of last Monday took the girls horseback riding on Tuesday after Ella got done with school. Eva was napping. :o(

CJ didn't ride but enjoyed the puppies and kitties as did Ella.

Kisses for Callie.

My baseball ballerina with rain boots...what an outfit. She still looks cute!

What a cool pic...you can see them through the fence.

LOVE!

PRECIOUS!

Hangin outside before t-ball practice.

Getting ready to leave Columbus for the Reds game...all pumped!

HUGS!

Ella is so protective of Eva..they were supposed to be retrieving balls but just stood there and let the boys get them. Cute though.

CJ hitting one.

Savi hitting one.

We are getting our tickets out!

Ella played in the bounce house..Eva was too scared.

They're cheering for CJ who just hit the ball.

The Buchweitz family.

We had great seats...2nd row in right field...Mom loved it. I think the great view helped.

We got a pic with Gapper between innings. We also got his autograph!

The kids loved the lights in the fountains.

And decided it was a good idea to get a little wet and run through them.. Even Ella dared to do it.

The kids were running around the maze trying to get to the center.

More lights and water...very pretty new feature downtown Cinncinati by the Great American Ballpark.

Ell and Eva pusing the cart..ready to pack things up and head to Kings Island for the day.

Our 1st stop was the Eiffel Tower, not really a ride well an elevator ride to view the park.

Eva's most traumatic part of the day...getting measured...REALLY!

She was ok when she saw some big characters from Peanuts. Linus!

Lucy!

Of course, the girls picked the swing ride...their favorite part of any park.

Car ride! A pink car because Ella's favorite color now is pink.

LOVE

We went out to the car for lunch and all changed into our suits for the rest of the afternoon we spent at Soak City..the water park attached to the amusement park.

Going down the lazy river. The girls loved it! They did it twice.

Mom relaxing with Ella.

Friday relaxing after some busy days.

Happy 29th Birthday Evan.

Singing to daddy!

Blowing out the candles together...it was a trick one. The girls were surprised and couldn't understnad why they couldn't blow it out.

Auntie playing ball with Eva.

Cheerleaders!

The best little cheerleaders you can find...They literally sat there for 20 min. watching the kids play their game. Too cute!

Well we have a lot of pics because we have been busy and I didn't post last week because Hope and mom arrived Sunday evening and I wanted to spend every second with them as I could. The time went way too fast as we were really busy. It was a wonderful and very memorable trip for CJ and Savy but like I said busy. The week before was spent getting ready for company and making gifts for teachers and daddy's b-day. The teachers this year got homemade gifts they both loved. Miss Mackenzie pictured above was her main teacher and Miss Selma was the helper. We didnt get a pic with her but we gave her a flower that said thanks for helping me grow on the pot, pretty cute, easy, and fun to make. Ella's last day of school was June 6th. I'm a little nervous as to how the summer will go, I will have no more free time in the afternoons :o( We already have a busy summer planned with library activities, cheap summer movies, and playdates, along with vacations and baseball games. So I think the summer will fly by, as it always does. The week with my family here was as wonderful as expected as you can see in all the pictures taken. We captured all of it and had a terrific time together. CJ and Savy even had time to make some neighborhood friends, I wish it was that easy for adults to make friends. I miss them already but we will see them in 3 weeks for my mom and dad's 40th Anniversary celebration in Minn. for the 4th Of July. Looking forward to it and hoping it doesn't go quite as fast. We certainly wont be as busy! Evan had his 29th birthday on Thursday, the day we went to King's Island, he had a great day. He's like a big kid and thoughouly enjoyed the rides. We celebrated his birthday on Friday with cake, tacos, and presents. He got a beer brewing kit and beer mugs from me and the girls made him a candy jar with m&ms in the them with a sign that says to our sweet but nutty dad..too cute. (thanks pinterest). And Hope, CJ, and Savy got him a huge, hardcover, ballpark book, and mom got him a Starbucks giftcard. He was ultra happy with everything he recieved.It was a little more special to have family here to celebrate with.  My mom and sister left this morning and miss them already, we spent the day relaxing, napping, and running some errands. Nice to have some quiet/ down time.
