Memorial Day Party






We had friends and family over for a party on memorial day. It was so much fun getting everyone together, and we had lots of great food. J got to play his new corn hole game, and we made a fire that night and cooked mountain pies and marshmallows.

Happy 5 year Anniversary!!





We celebrated 5 years on May 27th. It went by so fast! I made J a corn hole game with the help of my coworkers, and J got me a pink dogwood tree for the front yard. We went out to dinner and had a great night together.

Birthday Party 2





There were so messy eating their cupcakes it felt more like a 1 year old party than a 7 and 5 year old party!

Samantha and Travis's Birthday Parties






My niece Samantha, and my nephew, Travis, were both born the end of May. I always know how old Travis is because he was born two days before our wedding. My mom found this cute cupcake idea and I helped her make them. We did a scavenger hunt and a relay race to fill up a jug with water. The boys won the water game. The kids got in the pool too, and mom gave them silly string to spray on each other. Then we opened presents and ate the cupcakes. Aren't the monster goggles we got Travis cute?

Spring Garden






We had so much rain here this spring, that most of the flowers didn't last long before the rain ripped them apart. They looked great while they lasted though. We had two bird nests in our yard this spring, and one of these pictures is a robin's nest at my mom's house. I love all the animals and beautiful flowers!

Happy Easter!!!






The kids got lots of fun presents and cute clothes for Easter. We had an egg hunt, and Hannah came over to hunt for eggs too. Dominic also came over and brought a hundred stuffed plastic eggs. He decided to help J and Steve hide the eggs this year. The boys also hid 7 hard eggs for me to find. I love hunting for eggs! I did pretty well, I think I found 5/7 on my own. Since it was a long weekend, we brought the ferrets with us. The kids love seeing them and hardly ever put them down. My brother's two weenie dogs also love playing with them. If they get too rough, the ferrets will bite them. For dinner I helped mom make ham potpie, which is an Easter tradition for us. It was delicious!
