fun with 5

Tonight we got to join the Parson's family for dinner and fun at their house in Wales. 

Who would have thought it would be so hard to get a picture of 5 kids that are 8+ years old. 

Just when you thought it would get easier. 

Spring Break staycation

These kids had a pretty eventful week home for Spring Break. 

Shopping and lunch with Blake and Luke

    

    

Day 2 - skyline, margs, park and ice cream with friends. 

 

 

Day 3 - movie with Nana

A little R&R for Thursday...

Then wrapped up the week with mini golf, lunch and park with Karen and Doug.
    

 

Once again, thankful for everyone wanting to spend time with us!

Getting there...

A few trips to Home Goods and Marshalls and we are close to decorated. 

 Working on a new braid.

we been busy

How awesome does this look?!

And so thankful my husband hung these shelves when I was gone, may not have been a good thing for our marriage.

Decor for the shelves will be a work in progress. Everything currently with tags on still. 

 We had this wooden flag made by a friend in VA and he hand delivered for us while visiting WI a couple weeks ago. Great to catch up and support a small business.

Playing our new to us game...Nana and Papa played it in MI with Blayne and Molly and enjoyed it. So they taught us how to play. A Ticket to Ride is the name of the game.

Happy 91st in heaven GG Carol

We helped celebrate on earth with GG Carol's root beer float glasses. 

Kids can't turn down that offer. 

Chip and Joanna wannabes

Ha...we are right up there with the Gaines family. Only we are Smith's. Putting my hubby to work. 

Color testing wall color vs outlet color...

 Teaching Eddie how to play Kings on the Corner. Grandma Goldie would be proud. 

Luke time

I got to spent a little time with this cutie today while Amanda ran to an appointment. He was all smiles! I even managed to get a few things done while he was here. 

IL weekend

 Spent the weekend in IL with family. Weekends of fun always go way too fast. 

 

Eddie got to go shooting with Ed and Dustin, Rowan even tried. 

While the kids/guys did this, Julie and I did a little shopping. Not the most successful but a nice little get away. 

We also got to go watch Hudson skate, and at the end of the class, Eddie joined him and Dustin on the ice. Hudson said that Eddie was too slow. 

 And of course, we had to celebrate St. Patrick's day. 

 

Gizmo is 14!

Happy Birthday to our favorite Pup.
