Dickinson Dialogue

July

July was busy!!! We are done with baseball and can get away a little more. We kicked off July with parade and fireworks for the 4th. Tony and I went to Chicago with friends. We had amazing seats at the Cubs game and lots of fun with friends.

Heisman turned 10. We had Casey's donuts for breakfast, did some mini golfing and then invited neighborhood friends over for kickball and ice cream sandwiches.

Courtney and Neal got married!!! It was such a beautiful day.

Finally, Tony and I went to Nashville with a group of friends to celebrate his 40th birthday. We had a blast! We hired a musician to play at our house, golfed, took a hot tub party bus, rented a pontoon one afternoon, bowled, listened to awesome song writers at the Listening Room and had a ton of laughs. Best trip ever!!

The boys LOVE to see the cats when we go to the farm!

Nashville....

June

Eek! We need some make up lessons. It's so cute watching her dress up but she's our baby and is growing up too fast!

We spent a long weekend in Minnesota. We went to the Mall of America and The Great Wolf Lodge. The boys were brave and did a fun ropes course and zip line. We also got to do some rides, the rock wall, swim at the pool water park and a cool magic wand game at the hotel.

We love horse races!! The Housel family came to visit so we decided to bet on some horses. The kids love watching the horses get ready for the race and picking their winner. Sometimes we let them bet on them (Tony bets and keeps track of money). It's so much fun!!!

Happy 40th birthday Tony!!! We went to work and surprised him.

May

More baseball... lots of baseball this month! Boys are playing well and having lots of fun. We really enjoy the families on each team and have fun socializing during games. The countdown to summer is on!

Callaway did a tumbling class and a dance class this summer. She enjoyed both but liked gymnastics better because the teacher gave them a sucker after each class.
