We love making cinnamon rolls together!

Tate was all out of sorts because we sold our washer and dryer before the new ones arrived. He had to resort to washing his own clothes if he wanted his favorite jeans, shirt and underwear clean. He got it all washed and hung out and

realized that it would be kind of embarrassing for someone to see his underwear outside. He had to run out and get it and bring it back inside to finish drying.

Sweet Potato Pancakes

Garett is helping me make sweet potato pancakes for Father's Day breakfast.

Momo taught Garett how to make a watermelon basket. It turned out awesome!!!

Lincoln Park Zoo

This is the farm at the zoo in Chicago. We went here after going to the Green City Farmer's Market where my sister bought Kohlrabi.... I know, I didn't know what that was either. She is cool like that, though.

And the award goes to...

Tate participated in the Academic Bee at his school. He did so well! In each of the classes, they had a bee for that subject. After a day of bees, he qualified for the "Final" bee and won for his grade. I’m so proud of him! He won a $50 gift certificate to Barnes and Noble and a $50 donation will be given to Warm Blankets in him name. Go Tate!
