Brian playing with Iz...right before a major blowout (in white pants, of course!)

Izzy loved having a house full of kids...she kept on following them and staring at them

Izzy & Holly goofing around (Iz loved having the goggles on!)

This weekend we had a houseful of guests and handful of fun! Saturday morning Izzy and I met Jaime & Luke at the Monon pool for Opening day (while Mike and his crew had their annual golf outing). Both Iz and Luke were like fish to the water...they walked right in and continued to play all afternoon. They loved the fountains, the water toys, the water slide and especially the lazy river. As Jaime and I were walking to our car (headed home for naptime) we both were grinning ear-to-ear...we had so much fun!!! This summer is going to be leaps and bounds different from last year; our bambinos are MOBILE this year and walking through the water playing, while last year they weren't even crawling at the pool. So. Much. Fun. Can't wait for many more days like this at the pool this summer!

Saturday night our guests arrived: the Diaz family from Michigan and Lou from Nashville. We headed over to a great BBQ at the Zurcher house where we caught up with the University of Evansville crew.

Sunday the boys woke very early to head down to the Indy 500 while Holly and I slept in with the kids. When we were all up, we headed to the park and then to the pool (met Jaim & Luke again). Samantha loved the diving boards, Max loved the kiddie slide, and Iz loved watching them all. When the boys returned home from the race, we hosted dinner at our place. The Morses and Zurchers joined us for some backyard fun. Izzy loved having all the kids at our house and stayed up extra late to play. The adults also stayed up VERY late laughing and telling stories. Wish everyone lived closer so we could do this more often!

All-in-all, we had an amazing weekend with old friends. This was the beginning to a great summer to come. Next on our agenda: get Izzy's big girl room ready. We want to move her in a big girl bed in a new room sometime in July. Wish us luck!
