Hannah visits the Hogans

After being together at Grandma and Grandpa's for Father's Day, Karen jokingly said Hannah could come home with them.  Hannah thought she was being serious and after some discussion of schedules, she was on her way home with Hogans for a couple of days.  She had so much fun! Her favorite part was meeting all of their animals!

Karen's 40th

Dominic surprised Karen by organizing a surprise 40th birthday party.  
It was a fun night and extra special that all of us siblings could be there, too.

Ryan is THREE

Ryan's birthday fell on a baseball tournament day so guess who got his lawn chair decorated with birthday balloons? 

Lucas' team won the tournament!



To cool off from a day of hot sun and baseball dust we headed to the pool for a little fun.

Hannah and Grandma Connie

We headed home to celebrate Ryan!











He wanted a "Farmer in the Dell" cake so I made my best interpretation of that song. 


...the rat takes the cheese and the cheese stands alone!




Ryan and Great Grandma

The new gator hardly had time to rest as they were taking it for a ride before breakfast the next day :-)

Father's Day weekend

We usually get together with my family in June to celebrate Father's Day, Ryan's Birthday and Nick's birthday.  Most of the time there is a game of baseball involved.
If you don't use random John Deere tractor seats as bases, I'm not sure you understand who I am.  :-)




Abby pitched Ryan's his own game.

Grill masters.

Lunch time!
Caleb, Nick, Claire, Lucas and Will.  
Hannah, Adele, Abby and Ryan.

Climbing trees.

Hanging from them, too!

Lucas, Charlie and Preston

Under the lights (and a million bugs)!





Made it home!


He was more intrigued with the boys in the dugout than the game on the field.  


Pop fly!




Woohoo!
