Cousins

June 29-30

We were lucky to get our cute little nephew for the night! Milk Dud loved it.

We think "O" is GREAT!! When do we get him again?

Since "O" sucks his thumb and Milk Dud had not seen
much of it he had to see what it was all about!

We took lots of pictures so we could send them to Mommy all day.

And he is so cute how could you not take lots!!

1st Beach Day

June 25

Not sure if the kids like the sand or the water more!

1st Day of Summer

We moved a few toys around and the barn came upstairs for awhile.

Milk Dud is making lots of animal sounds and really enjoys lining up the animals.

My boys are so wonderful!!

Last Day of School

June 5th

We made it to the end of 2nd Grade of Ice Cream. He was very excited!!

Milk Dud always carries a ball around if given the chance. He loves going to the bus stop.


Candy learned to ride a 2 wheeler this week. She is set for summer!

We had a neighborhood party after school for all the families. The kids had a great time!

VBS

Last Week of May



I was lucky enough to help in VBS again this year. Candy was able to go with a bunch of neighbor friends to our church. Milk Dud gets to go to the sibling room while I helped out. Below you will see a picture of Milk Dud looking out the window at us on the playground.



Candy had a great week. She made a few new friends and enjoyed going everyday.

Spring Started Warm!!

May 19th

We had a beautiful spring day and the kids enjoyed a little sprinkler time!!

Milk Dud just loves the water and cannot get enough of it.!

Race for the Cure

May 15th

We walked/froze in the Race for the Cure again this year. In years past we have enjoyed a great walking miles and miles. This year it was so cold we barely moved most of the night. When we packed up and went home it was 38 degrees and the sun had been up for 2 hours. The tent was cold!! We did raise money for cancer research and are proud of our kids for not complaining! We only hope for better weather next year!

Mother's Day

May 10



We had a beautiful Mother's day. The kids (with Dad) made me breakfast in bed. They made buttermilk pancakes with strawberries and ice cream for topping. (My favorite!) We ate slowly and shared bites with everyone. The kids made cards and I just loved them.



My dad was able to get Great Grandma here for the afternoon so we met them for lunch. We enjoyed a quiet meal out. It was nice not to cook at all!



We then went to a local favorite garden area to see the tulips. It was a beautiful day. We thought Great Grandma would enjoy it but Papa forgot the foot pedals to her wheel chair and the place was packed so they did not have any left to rent. So Papa drove around and they could see quite a few from the car but then they left.



We enjoyed the park for a couple hours and our kids wanted to stay longer. As you can see they found lots to look at.



Thanks for making it a wonderful Mother's Day!!

Last fall Milk Dud was just learning to walk!

Now.... Milk Dud leads the way!

May Day

May 1st

I just love May Day. We celebrated this as kids and loved getting out there early before anyone else was out. Our neighborhood does not really do much but I remind my kids that it is the fun of delivering gifts (candy) to others and having them be surprised. We got up early and my kids were surprised when they got a few baskets from neighbors.

Rock band is now a family favorite and

Milk Dud enjoys playing a few tunes with the boys!!
