Catching Up

Here is a glimpse of what our family has been up to lately.  (Warning: picture overload in this post.)



Last month we had a couple of crazy storms.  Our sweet little creek had some major flooding during one of them!


My husband built this lovely little bench for the kids.


Lots of rain = lots of waterfalls at Great Falls National Park

Mothers Day Tea at Tommy's preschool

Tommy showing me his gifts

My mom came into town for my busiest week of the year.  It also happened to be Mothers Day while she was here!  We enjoyed some special time together.

Beautiful bouquet from my hubby and kiddos on Mothers Day!

Baking with Grandma


Birthday waffles for my big 4 year old!

So excited to open gifts!

A quick selfie before the first show

Caterpillar at the park


So much rain around here lately - rain gear was the perfect gift!
 
Recognize these lovely bloggers?  It was so nice to catch up and have the kiddos play together.

I helped organize a baby shower for one of my friends.  I'm obsessed with these Salsa Sweets cookies I ordered!  (You can find her on facebook or instagram - simply amazing!) 

The only picture I took from Tommy's birthday party - this was after everyone had left and I was about to start cleaning up... 
 

My dear friend took some nice shots from Tommy's Pirate Party:

Some of the pirate themed food

Searching for treasure!

Walking the plank

Tiny pirates!


Enjoying meals on the deck before it gets too hot and sticky!

Our backyard = little boy heaven

this face!!  :)

First trip to the dentist!  I was amazed that he sat still for an entire cleaning and x-rays!



I started volunteering at our parish youth group.  Ever played 9 Square before?  The kids are obsessed with it!


More time outdoors. 

Paddle boats!



Last day of preschool.  Tommy loves all of his new friends from school!

My dear friend (and roommate from college/sorority sister) now lives in the area. 
We are trying to meet up as often as we can.  I love spending time with her sweet little girl Ainsley!

Swimming at our friend's gorgeous pool!

We made this gift for Father's Day


Ice Cream Pie = heaven!  My hubby's request for his birthday dessert


Getting ready to paint the sun room.  Apparently the kids thought he was on the floor because he wanted to play!
