FIRST HIT!!!!

Ray got his first real hit in his baseball game this week! His shirt is really electric orange and his team's name is Cheetos!

What's awesome is that Gamma and Boppy were there to see it happen, and Katie got a new dress:

I was so happy to show Gamma, how much the Iris blobs she gave have grown this year (some at either end nearest the path): 

We are finishing up our last few weeks of school and really starting to look forward to the weekends. The kids talk about camping all the time and they fill up their backpacks and "go camping" on the trampoline! 

30 feet of camper to enjoy and they have to be in our bed: 

This is a fun lookout called Buzzard's Roost at Mark Twain. Ray was having a rough time because it was too cold and rainy to go out on the boat, but next thing I know, he is smiling and peaking through the trees with BJ! 

This was one of the views, so amazing!

The walk back was muddy, so Daddy lead Katie through, but she wanted to be on his shoulders!

For Our Nine Year Wedding Anniversary, Grace took the kids for the weekend. That is, not before I got some cuddle time in. 

Friday night we went on a sunset boat ride after a fancy dinner, it was wonderful!

Saturday we went out on the boat but started missing our little monsters, so we rolled in early to spend some time with Grace and her kiddos. Here Caleb is checking out his Unkie: 

This week we have been catching up on everything and getting ready for another wonderful weekend, this time at the farm with Gamma for Mother's Day! First thing is the mountain of laundry:

Start to finish five large loads, with the two best helpers in the world, it took just over 30 mins!!!
