Memorial weekend full of memory making!

We had the best Memorial Day weekend EVER!  It was filled with lots of family time and fun activities.  It helped that the weather was gorgeous too!  Isaac is getting sturdier every day.  He's easily standing on his own, now if he could just get a couple steps on his own he'd be off and running!

Sam and Isaac have a very, hum how do I say this... love/dislike? relationship.  It's pretty well captured in this 2 photo sequence.  "We're best buds, we're hilarious..."
"I'm just going to smash your head a bit!"
So Mike and I both had Friday off of work, which was so nice, it made for a full family 4 day weekend.  Noah still had school on Friday, but we were able to do some fun things in the morning. There were some rousing games of Elefun.
It was fun until the hollering about who got what net and who got the most butterflies, etc...  But at least we have a game that all 3 can play :)

We had an outdoor lunch, it was beautiful!  Noah enjoyed some bottled root beer before heading off to Field Day at his school.

Sam tried his hand at playing goalie in soccer!

Saturday was official buzz cut day!  Isaac handled his first shaving very well, no tears or freakouts (like both his brothers did their first time).
 Noah and Sam did a great job cheering him on and keeping him entertained while Daddy took off those baby curls!
 Pretty darn cute, I'd say!
 Next up was Sam, muscles and all!  He has come so far from the child that was inconsolable during haircuts of all types and feared even going in salons to say Hi to people.  Way to go!
 3 boys for the price of, none!  All clean and cool for summer!
 On Saturday night we went to the local Schaumburg Boomers baseball game!
 The kids loved the food most of all, cotton candy (yes), popcorn (yes), slushie (yes), ice cream (yes), soft pretzel (yes)!
 We had a great view of the game, but I'm pretty sure the food trumped all! 
 There was also some face painting.  Sam got a snake...
 And Noah got a spider!  We only lasted till about the 8th inning, but it was a blast nonetheless.
 Sunday we sported our patriotic captain america shirts to head over to Papa's house!
 The pool (which has no heater) was a bit chilly, but Noah was all over it!
 Of course Sam still fits in the infant floatie, of course!
 Isaac was very happy to sit with Auntie Kimmie and just dangle his feet in!
 The junk food continued with ice cream from the ice cream truck!
 And cupcakes from Papa!  
 Monday we took a walk (Sam in his jammies still)!  Then we went to the pool with the neighbors and then had them over for dinner/grilling.  It was a perfect weekend!
 So this week, we're just winding down school days until summer!  We did some potato stamping (which basically turned into fingerpainting).
 Isaac thinks he's just about the funniest thing he's ever seen (perhaps taking after his comedic older brother, Sam).
 And Ellie is still our baby too, spending most of her days napping like a princess on the couch!
