Lauren and Finn's Birthday Party

We had Finn and Lauren's birthday party for the Zanghi side on Sunday. Finn woke up not feeling well at all, but of course I forced him to go to the party. He was such a trooper, but then completely melted down when we got home. Poor guy. Hopefully birthday party #2 on Saturday will go better!

Happy 4th Birthday, Molly!

Happy birthday to our favorite 4 year old, and thanks for inviting us to your FUN party!!!

Sunday at Phillips Park

We did it all at Phillips Park on Sunday...played at the playground, stopped by the zoo and checked out the new splash pad. Finn LOVES water play, so he could have stayed there all day.

Backyard Fun

I'm pretty sure that our backyard is our favorite place to be! Why do we even bother spending our money on the zoo, museum, airtastic, etc?

Sox Game

We took the boys to the Sox game last week. We had great seats, but didn't spend much time there. We had a lot of stuff to check out and a lot of treats to try! Finn was sad to go home!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to the O'Toole men, the two greatest dads I know! We had a great day with Bob and Donna at the zoo, and then met up with Shannon for Rosie's pizza!! We finished up the day with everyone's favorite...backyard water play!

Lake Carroll

We took our first family trip to Lake Carroll this weekend. We had SO much fun!


All packed and ready to go!


Molly being bribed with M&M's to get into the freezing water!


Captain Finn


Mimi enjoying the shade with the babies!


Patrick and Taylor causing trouble...ok, mostly Patrick.


Who wants to go on the boat? TAYLOR!!!

Both Molly and Finn got some pretty serious boo-boo's after tripping while running up the driveway to meet Trent after his run.


Good thing Megan found some HUGE bandaids for those HUGE boo-boo's.

Payton keeps asking when we can go up to the lake again! He LOVED it!

Captain Papa and his co-captain

Molly being brave (before she realized that she wasn't a huge fan of the lake)

Finn jumped right in after Dan...and then freaked out!

This little boy NEVER sits still, but every single time we went on the boat, he was out cold in a matter of minutes!
