Long day for the men.

Joel and his dad had a busy day at Benjamin's bday party so they needed to nap.

Happy Birthday Benjamin!

Beep, beep. Ben is coming through.

Nathan's cousin and little buddy, Benjamin turned 1 last week. This weekend we all got together to help celebrate Benjamin's birthday. Aunt Sarah did a great job and we all had fun at the party. Nathan really loved the ice cream cone cake.

Nathan and I took a road trip up north to visit with gma and gpa Mueller. Uncle Matt, Aunt Chrissy and Amber were there as well. We had a lot to celebrate! Amber turned 6 and we helped celebrate my parents 40th wedding anniversary. Nathan loved playing in the pool (the little one and the big one!) and the yard. It was hard to leave, but we both missed daddy.

Ike and Joel. Classic Joel pose.


Joel and I each had a "girls" and "boys" weekend. I went up to KP's cabin and Joel and the guys were here and went to a cubs game. We both had a great time and realize we don't bounce back like we did a few years ago!


Nathan is a talking and walking machine! He would rather walk to the park than ride in the stroller. As you can see, Nathan is learning to eat by himself. We have food all over the walls all of the time!
