Yesterday Stella had a party with some of her friends at a huge park called Chutes and Ladders. It was sunny and hot out. Luckily the kids cooled off in the sprinklers at the park after a vomit incident. Letting the kids ride on the tire swing for too long= not a good idea. Lesson learned. Stella had a great time and said on the ride home that she wants to have her party there again next year with her friends. 
Stella had many birthday celebrations over this past week. Turning five has been very exciting! We celebrated in Wisconsin with my family last weekend. On the way there we decided to stop in the Dells for a "duck" ride. Stella thought it was cool, but Charlie was scared most of the ride! The weather was beautiful on Saturday and the kids spent most of the party in the pool! We had another birthday party on Stella's actual birthday, the 16th, at our house. Even though it was pouring out, we still had a great time. I even made a homemade cake this year! Stella had a party with her friends yesterday. More to come on that. I can't believe she's five...time is flying by.
Stella had a great soccer season again this year. It was especially fun for her because Jack was the coach. For the last game of the season, some visitors were in town and got to watch her play. Charlie loves going to her games and can't wait to be running out on the field soon!
