Before Our Vacation

Yep, behind on the blogging again! Priorities change, and right now blogging is near the bottom of my priority list (although my other task to tackle today was cleaning the bathrooms, guess blogging is taking priority over that chore!). Days are busy and full between caring for our two busy boys and our home, helping Mike with tasks, working usually 1 day a week, and organizing our church's VBS program. Oh, and growing this little baby slows me down a bit, too! :) So, I am going to attempt to get some pictures up from the end of May/beginning of June and then blog on our vacation to Minnesota last week. We'll see how far I get! 

All the cousins were home at the end of May to celebrate Grandpa's birthday

Happy 60th Birthday, Grandpa!

And, my friend Kelley and her daughter Evie were home visiting from Northern Ireland. The boys loved seeing this baby girl! And, I enjoyed catching up in person with Kelley.

We started little chore charts with our boys in June. Everyday they have chores to do. At the end of the day, they get a star on their chart for each one completed. On Sundays, we add up the number of stars and exchange them for nickels. The boys then divide them equally into their "banks" - Spend, Save, or Give.

At the beginning of June, our college friends, The Batys, were driving through Wahoo on their way out west. Thankfully, they were able to stop in for a short visit. Our families are growing!

This is the best picture that I have gotten of our boys in ages! They are both looking at the camera and smiling! :) Grandpas and Daddy got this picture for Father's Day.
