Fun with Grandma and Gramps

The boys and I made the very long drive to the Ozarks last week. Thank goodness Grandma Jude came into Chicago to ride with us. The eight and a half hour trip took us eleven hours! We made a FEW stops along the way to make it less painful for the boys. The way home went much more quickly- nine hours. The drive was worth it! We had a fabulous time being spoiled by Grandma Jude and Grandpa Scott. Zack was in pure heaven. He now LOVES to fish. He went through 5 dozen worms very quickly and caught 23 Bluegill fish! He managed this all with a Toy Story fishing pole. Zack also enjoys noodling. Noodling is a Huebsch Family past time. Everyone grabs a noodle and bobs up and down in the lake until you look like a prune. Zack caught on right away and seems to understand just how important it is to spend a good part of the day just noodling around.
Alex also had a wonderful time. He got to play in the baby pool and take his first boat ride. Alex is now 11 months old. He is a garbage disposal. He will eat almost anything I put in front of him with the exception of eggs. He still has a strong distaste for scrambled eggs. He babbles like crazy (mama, dada, zeee, bimbop to name a few). He has mastered going up stairs and is SLOWLY learning how to go backwards down them. He has two new teeth finally! He is a complete love and we are so lucky to have such wonderful boys!

Ahhh... We love the lake!





More fun at the lake





I can bike too!

We finally bought Alex a bike helmet. Now he can ride along with us on our fun bike rides.

Memorial Day Party





We celebrated Memorial Day with our good friends and their boys. We grilled out and had lots of fun playing outside. All the little boys played so well together.

Nothin' says summer like popsicles and bubbles




Wow, sorry for the long delay in updating the blog. We have been very, very busy these last couple of weeks. Zack finished school before Memorial Day weekend and then we traveled to the Ozarks (Grandma Jude and Grandpa Scott's lake house). We have had a gorgeous Spring and have spent a lot of time outside enjoying our new backyard. Zack, as you can see, loves the privacy of our backyard and tries to wear clothes as little as possible. Alex now enjoys all table food and will even clean up after Zack (hence the two popsicles).

Happy Mother's Day!





I got to celebrate Mother's Day a couple days early with Zack's preschool class. All the moms were invited and the kiddos did a special performance and served us yummy treats. We also received beautiful painted pots (by the kids) of basil. Zack did a great job singing. It was a very special day!
