April & May Fun


Fun day at the zoo!

Rallying for the Royals with Mom, J, and J!


We have made some pretty big changes in the house.  New roof, new gutters, and some new windows coming soon.  The boys have loved the tools/trucks/equipment involved.  


Sneak peak!  Left is the realtor picture before we bought the house.... Right is a current picture.

We picked 14 lbs of strawberries.  Couldn't have done it without hippo's help.

We had a very stormy May.  I grabbed this screenshot of the radar.  I am no meteorologist, but I can tell you that bow echo ish radar is pretty scary.  And there were lots of funnels and a brief touchdown close by.   Scroll down to the second photo to see what it looks like in person (spoiler alert: it looks like armageddon).  I have often been in the basement during storms but this is the first time I have been huddled away from windows in the unfinished area.  Scary day.... Was glad the boys were safe and sound at my parent's house. 



On a lighter note (and a cloudless day) we met Grandpa and Grammy at Powell Gardens for the dinosaur exhibit.   It was pretty great!



 My Mom has a Bluebird house and we found these very young birds just waiting for mama.  (FYI: no birds were harmed during this brief photoshoot.  Bluebirds don't abandon the nest if you disturb it briefly)

This is a terrible photo but it HAS to be noted.  This picture shows Kam breaking away from the pack and scoring his FIRST SOCCER GOAL!!!!! It was epic and he was so proud!  Wishing I wasn't socializing on the wrong end of the field :(



Pontoooooon

We enjoyed some early boating before we could swim in the cold water.  Because: WORMS!




Good Friday & Easter

I should have just titled this "Better late than never" or "#tbt"
Whatever, I'm sure all 4 of you have been really curious about our Easter! HA!!

Good Friday Saturday hot dog roast at Nana's was great!


Brody was pretty darn excited for some chocolate!


The Easter Bunny brought some goodies.  Most notable was some new sunnies for summer! (update: we have already lost them)




Easter at the farm was great, too! 
Brody found one of the golden eggs (that means $)


I'm looking fondly at this photo.  Not because the kids are adorable (they are) but mostly because they have coats on.  It is still June and it has been ridiculously hot and dry already.  Not ready for the rest of summer.... at all.
