life lately

a few recent pictures prior to our indiana trip!

there was a sunday evening a few weeks ago that was so warm and beautiful, it was definitely that glimpse of glorious spring/summer.
a bunch of the neighbors on the street met in the backyard where the kids played, husbands played corn hole, and wives chatted, it was wonderful. funny how the kids have changed so much though, last year they were crawling around on blankets and this year they're all literally running all over the place!
come back warm weather!

friends eat (green) pancakes together

this is definitely one of my most favorite pictures in a long time, he fell into the drum and got stuck, he wasn't too happy

maxson insists we read where the wild things to him 20 times a day, and i mean, like, 6 times in a row too. this week i hid the book on top of the bookshelf, ha i needed a break from it

helping dad study while begging for chips. do you see how tall he is?

1.- 4. casey has been wanting to make/have the game cornhole for awhile now (a glorified adult game of bean bag toss). a friend from dental school/church, josh, is super handy when it comes to wood working. one day they got together and just made it! casey loves it so much, thanks josh!

2. casey and josh working on making corn hole
