SpRiNg

I love this weather!! That is all there is to it...spring weather rocks! :)
This past weekend we spent lots of time with family! On Friday, my parents came down and took Tate and I out to eat. Blair had a golf meet.
Then on Saturday my brother arrived with my new neice-pup, KD. She's a Goldendoodle, and is as sweet as can be. I think the whole family fell in love with her! In the afternoon, we all headed to Story City to my Uncle Dennis' 70th surprise birthday party. It was so great to see all the family and my cousins really put on a great party.Tate loves Dennis and couldn't wait to see him!
My family headed home on Sunday and Ryan, Janelle, Kayson, and Cora came for lunch and to just hang out. We played so hard, went to the park, and had ice cream. Tate and Kayson played so well with eachother.

All this awesome weather makes me so excited for summer...the pool, the lake, and time playing outside with Buddy. Tonight after Tate's bath, I popped a bag of popcorn and we went on a stroller ride. It was so nice, because he's not really into the stroller anymore but with a bowl of popcorn on his lap he was quite content. We went on a long walk and waited for Daddy to come home from golf. We haven't been seeing much of Daddy, and it's so sweet when he tells me, "Mommy, I miss Daddy!"
Two weeks left of golf and then we get him back!

Here are some pictures from our fun weekend-

The boyz! :)

Not even scared to go down the big slide!!
 
B-ball with K and Uncle Ry!

Ice Cream in the Cozy Coupe
 
Poor Cora May was sick, but had a nice snooze on our trip to the park/
 
 
I think I heard one of my students tell me that we're down to 25 days of school....Bring on summer! :)

VEISHEA and Fun with Miss June

This past weekend was VEISHEA and we had soooo much fun.
My best friends- Kay, Emma, and Beth, along with Beth's hubby, Jared and their daughte,r June came to celebrate with us. We had a blast!!
On Friday, the girls headed to Des Moines for some shopping and dinner. We let the dads babysit the kiddos. The house looked like a tornado went through it when we got home, but both kiddos were sound asleep! :)
On Saturday, we went to the parade. It was sunny and warm, and it was so much fun to go onto campus. It always brings back so many memories! June and Tate loved the parade and both the kids sat so nice.
That afternoon we came home for naps and grilled. We ended the evening with a dual bath! :)
 
Cyclone Cookies! :)

 
 
 
 Tate sat on the curb for the longest time, but as soon as Cy approached he backed away! He likes him from a distance, but doesn't want to get too close.
 
 
I love progression of these next pictures. June thought it was hilarious to dump water on Tate.
