Canoe Trip

We have wanted to go canoeing on the Buffalo river for a while. Its so close to our cabin. But we have had to wait until the kids were old enough. 

The river was beautiful! 

Just about to get started...

Allie Ruth was a little concerned at first. She was worried we were going to tip over. Dad got her calmed down and we didn't even tip once!

Landon brought his net and next time is bring his pole!

The water felt so good!

We had so much fun! This was one of our best family adventures!

Merry month of May!

May is always such a busy month! 

Landon started looking more like a real baseball player with all the new gear his Dad took him to get. Too bad so many of his games got rained out this season.

We had a great Mother's Day!

We loved sharing eggs with the neighbor and loved picking strawberries in his garden!

We have loved getting the summer kicked off with weekends at the River!

We wrapped up the end of a great school year. Landon had an awesome 1st grade year and we are so proud of how well he did. We have several changes to look forward to, but for now we are saying 

"HELLO SUMMER VACATION!!"

Otherwise know as a phone dump of photos. These are just photos from our everyday life around the house!

It's time to...

PLAY BALL!!

Landon is playing coach pitch ball this year. He is playing for the same church team as last year. We are very excited for him and love to watch him play. Allie Ruth loves the playground, popcorn, and snow cones!

This year, his team named themselves the COBRAS!

We have had some fun making up cheers for the cobras!

Landon got two base hits and had a great stop on a ground ball!

Great game Cobras! The score was 10 to 6!

Go #12 Go!

Whats been going on...

Kelly and the kids have got a great garden going!

We are getting more and more eggs everyday!

We love having the chickens. This one is special, she is not like the others. I wonder if she is the one that consistently lays the double yolks. I do know that she is the one that got out and Landon and I had to chase her back in the coop!

The kids are also loving Meme's cats living at our house! We are having a hard time spotting both of them together. I hope the other one is still around but hiding. 

Landon finally got a hair cut! All ready for warm weather!

I can hardly get a picture of him these days. But Rue is a willing model, most of the time!

We have been spending most of free time outside riding bikes, scooters or playing in the yard!

Always working on photography skills...

Loving life and counting our blessings!

And that's whats been going on!

Easter at Meme's

We celebrated Easter in Meme's backyard. Even though she was not there with us, we know she was there in spirt! We talked about how she would be having such a fun time with the kids. We were worried about the weather, but it cleared up just in time for lunch outside and the annual egg hunt!

and they're off!

We really miss Meme, but were thankful to create some more memories in her back yard. It was a great day with the family!
