Hotel Transylvania 3

We took the boys to see Hotel Transylvania 3 and the boys loved it!  It was Grayson's 3rd movie and Liam's 1st movie at the theater.  We've seen Hotel Transylvania and Hotel Transylvania 2 so many times so we couldn't miss the chance to see Hotel Transylvania 3.  It was such a cute movie and the boys had a blast.  I wasn't sure how Liam would do, as his attention span is not that long, but he did great!  At one point he went to the potty with Daddy and came back in telling me "I went potty, Mommy!!".  He was so proud, but I couldn't give him the normal attention I do for this so he was a little upset.  He wanted to wear his Batman raincoat and boots because we had a little rain.  We bought a big giant size popcorn and snacks for the boys and we ended up refilling the giant popcorn.   

Celebrating Oma's Birthday

My mom and I went to dinner and a movie to celebrate her birthday.  We were out of town on her actual birthday so it was nice to spend a night together.  We went to Ella Elli for dinner and split the crispy grain salad, truffle stuffed gnocchi and scallops.  We finished with an amazing desert.  Afterwards we went to the Mama Mia movie.  We had a great time at dinner and loved the movie.  My mom felt like my Dad was with us as the movie talked about losing a loved one.  We had a great time and I truly treasure these special moments.  Thanks, Oma for being the most amazing mom and grandma to my kids.  We think the world of you and can't imagine life without you.  You have such a special bond with the boys that meals my heart.  We love you so much, Oma!  Happy Birthday!

Oostburg, Wisconsin

We went to Oostburg, Wisconsin for the night to visit Craig's friend George and his girlfriend.  They live right on the beach in a beautiful home.  Unfortunately the weather was not cooperating very well, but we still had a great time.  The boys loved playing in the sand building castles and searching for hidden treasures.  We had a BBQ and then roasted marshmallows by the fire pit.  The boys had the best time.  The next day we hoped to get out on the jet skis, but the fog was so bad you could barely see 10 feet in front of you.  Craig did a great job taking candid photos of the boys.    

Liam's First Day of Preschool Prep

Liam had his first day of preschool prep which meets from 8:30-10 all week.  He was very excited to go to school, but was bummed when he found out he was not taking a bus.  I dropped him and he seemed fine, but I don't think he really understood what was happening.  The next 4 days were a little more difficult at drop off, but he was fine a few minutes after we left.  He loved his teacher, meeting new friends and doing artwork.  He will start preschool - 3's in September and will go from 8-11 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.  

Celebrating Kat's Birthday in Michigan

Craig and I flew to Michigan to celebrate Kat's birthday.  We had dinner at Bacco and shared a bunch of dishes as well as a delicious tiramisu.  During the day Kat and I went shopping while the guys worked.  We always love spending time with Kat and Phil and feel lucky to call them close friends.  

Dinner with Hudson

Amanda, Hudson, the boys and I met at Cope di Volpe for dinner while the dad's were out of town for work in Michigan.  Grayson and Liam loved meeting baby Hudson and had so much fun playing with him.  They are both really good with babies and it makes me want to have another baby, although that's definitely not happening.  :)
