Lolla Weekend 2010

A couple weekends ago we went up to Chicago for a child-free weekend of good tunes. Some of our favorite bands were playing and it was great to get away for a bit. Our cousin Garrett came in town from Ohio for the trip...

Our awesome hosts Heather & Noel

We had this picture from the last Lolla we were at, so I had to get another one

Garrett & I

I found Waldo!

And here's Han Solo, the Maheu's lizard-

The night before Garrett's birthday we were at Marc & Lisa's. Here's his birthday treat with 40 year old candles, which we thought was hilarious at the time... I swear there wasn't a "2" candle to be found. Happy Birthday Garrett, we're SO glad you came in town!!!

Choo Choo Love

Now that it's a million degrees outside we've been spending a good amount of time at Whittle playing with the trains. And as a bonus, there are actual tracks right outside so if we're lucky a train goes by while we play. It's pretty cute seeing all the kids run to the front windows to watch it. Here are a couple pictures from Whittle recently. I love that Dex has figured out how to play trains already, having a big brother has it's advantages.

Adam and Clark checking out the tracks-

These boys are so cute together!

water table fun

The Maheu clan got Dexter a water table for his first birthday. And now, every single day, Clark asks to "play water". They are so cute with it and I couldn't help but snap away, so here are way more pictures than needed, but I just can't get enough!

Clark showing Dex how the waterfall works

His handsome little face... He looks EXACTLY like Rich did when he was a baby.

I LOVE his big cheesy grin

And he has his Daddy's eyes...

WALRUS!

Clark trying to show Dex proper use of the waterfall

"Mommy! Dex dwink! NO Dexer, no dwinking, bad."



Splashing with your brother can be the best time ever.

Blueberry Hitler

I couldn't resist taking a picture of this... Dex got super messy with his yogurt and blueberries and ended up with a Hitler 'stash.
