We love summer!

We have been having a really fun summer. My sister, Brittany, bought a boat and we have been lucky enough to go out with them a few times. We got season passes to Lagoon and my kids LOVE it! Mason is a daredevil. He gets so upset when he is too little to ride a ride. Rylee is not quite as daring, but she loves to go with her friends and cousins. She is very social. My kids love anything that has to do with being outside. Dale wakeboarding, what a hottie!
Mason wasn't 100% sure about the boat at first.

We went swimming at cute Amy's house. Bailey and Rylee are BEST FRIENDS!

VIVA LAS VEGAS!

We went to Las Vegas last weekend for my Birthday and Father's Day! We had such a good time. We went for the Motion City Soundtrack and Panic! At the Disco concert. It was sooo good. If you haven't heard of Motion City Soundtrack, you should check them out. They are my favorite. All of my music on my playlist is from the concert. While we were there we of course did some serious shopping and Dale's favorite, some serious buffet eating! We left our kids with our wonderful moms and had a fabulous getaway. I 'm wondering if it is too soon to go again.

I think Dale likes to flex. He is a dork, but tha is why I love him. Happy Father's Day honey! You are the best dad and husband. We love you and are grateful for all that you do!

Under Construction

Life has been super crazy the last month. We recarpeted our entire house. We have lived in our house six years in August (I can't even believe it). After two kids and crappy carpet, it was time. It was a lot of hard work but it is so nice now that it is done. We painted our bedroom and all of the floorboards at the same time. It looks so nice and feels like a new house. Dale wants to kill me because I am staying in project mode. We painted our kitchen table and I think that I am going to paint the kitchen, living room, and hallway too. If anyone has cute ideas on decorating my kitchen, please let me know.During the mess

Jailee & Brittany

We were so esxcited to have Brittany, Ryan, and Jailee here last week. They are moving back soon (YEA!!!). We are so excited to have another cousin close by and, of course, to have my sister here. We can hardly wait for the playing and especially the shopping (actually, I think Dale can wait for the shopping). If you don't know Britt, she is a shopaholic but gets the absolute cutest things for great deals.

I love his face in this picture.

We love the spring!

We are so excited to finally be able to play outside. We love the winter for skiing, but it is nice to feel the sun. Mason especially loves to be outside. He screams and throws a huge tantrum whenever it is time to come inside. He loves balls. That is his favorite word and his favorite toy. He can pick a ball out anywhere. Anything that is circle-shaped is a ball. Rylee is getting so big. She is in preschool and loves it. I can't believe how much she is learning.

We went to the Red's game. They won, it was a blast

We went to Louisville, Kentucky to see Jared and Becky for a week. We had so much fun, they are the best hosts ever. Rylee and Connor had so much fun and I think are deeply depressed now because they miss each other so much.
