Last Week

Last week was busy but fun. 
We enjoyed a tea party and play time at Elle & Anne Charlotte's house

Harper had pajama day at school on Tuesday

Rebekah & Johann came to the baseball game with us on Friday night.
Our view for the evening

We had an end of season baseball party with the coaches and their families.  They heated the pool so everyone could swim.  The kids loved it and now Harper asks every day when our community pool will open.

Jeff surprised me with a birthday cake at the party.

Brody couldn't wait to get a piece.

Sunday was Kid Care Recognition service.  The kids sang at the begining of the service.  I know this picture doesn't look like it but Harper was really into singing and all of the hand motions.
On a side note, today I turned 30.  I think it's called my golden birthday when my age matches the day. It's also supposed to be my lucky year.  We shall see...

Fishing, boating, & pasture golfing

The kids and I spent the weekend in Paris again.  Jeff was busy with baseball games and Rebekah and Johann were visiting so we couldn't resist a weekend away.  Of course my dad had lots of fun activities lined up to show Johann a good time in the country.  Johann is my sisters German boyfriend who is visiting for a couple of weeks.

Harper helped dad repair the john boat so they could go fishing in the pond


Heading down to the pond

She was not a fan of the life jacket

Mimi kept Brody entertained on the shore


Dad created a "little" golf course in the front yard / pasture. He dug holes and sunk cups down into the ground and then used fishing poles and garden flags to mark the holes.  We all had to wear our rubber boots because we ended up trekking through the pasture looking for balls most of the time.

Out fishing in the john boat. Harper caught several small fish and was very interested in touching them. yuck!

Bek & Johann cleaned up nicely after our day of playing outside to head to a friend's wedding.

Bek's birthday was last week and my big 3-0 is the 30th so we had to have a little home made key lime pie to celebrate.

Brody entertained himself with all of the golf balls

My parents neighbors have hens so we had to go over there to visit.  Harper climbed into the hen house and collected these 11 eggs all by her self.  Fresh eggs for breakfast this week.



We had a fun weekend away.

Sand, sand, and more sand

The Shreman kids have a new toy in the back yard and they are loving the sand box.








Prepping for our first family trip to the beach this summer

Cute As A Button

Monday night we held a "Cute As A Button" shower for baby Boone.  We enjoyed a fun night out at Mattito's and got to celebrate Ashley.




The Hostesses - Wendi, me, Janet & Amanda

Sweet Friends


Boone is hooked up with lots of adorable monogramed things now. 
Of course he has to have some BU gear.


We can't wait to meet Baby Boone. 

More popcorn please

 We spent another fun Friday night at the baseball field cheering on our Titans.


They love each other...they really do.

They enjoyed playing with Jason & Addison (kids of another coach).


Grandad brought a big sack of popcorn for the kids to snack on.  Once Brody found it he wouldn't leave it.


More popcorn



Reading his own bedtime story...


Notice that I don't have any pics of Harper because she was too busy running around all night.
