May 7, 2015 - Rainbows and Baseball

We had some pretty weird weather tonight at baseball.  It was raining over the bleachers but sunny in the outfield.  A rainbow was the result which was pretty cool.  This was also one night that all the boys were in uniform at one time.  I of course had to take a picture or two, one of which Ryan happened to sneak into but he's pretty much like one of the family so that was just fine.

May 6, 2015 - Where Has the Time Gone?

Noah will be getting confirmed in about a month and I figured it was probably time to get his invitations out.  There are some really cool crosses on a hill on the west side of Eau Claire that I thought would be great for a background of a confirmation picture.  So we headed up there after school to take a few pictures.  It was windy and with Noah's longer hair it took a bit to get a good picture but we managed.  I can't believe he's gotten so old though.  It seems like just yesterday that we were bringing him home from the hospital terrified, not really knowing what we were supposed to do with a baby.  God has truly blessed us with Noah.  He is growing into a fine Christian young man and we pray he always has the zeal for studying God's Word that he has now.

May 5, 2015 - Cinco de Mayo

It's Cinco de Mayo so Rebecca, Karen and I thought we really should meet for a Mexican lunch and margaritas.  We don't get to do this everyday after all!  It's always nice to meet up with friends in the middle of the day I must admit.  I feel pretty blessed to have some really good friends who will meet for lunch on short notice!

May 4, 2015 - Baseball Pants

With 4 boys playing baseball there is never a shortage of baseball pants to be washed.  This is my life for the next few months.  I've got it down to a science but I think I may take out stock in Shout!  Whoever thought white baseball pants were a good idea was dumb.  Just sayin'.

May 3, 2015 - Outdoor Fun

Sawyer and Owen always have so much fun when they are together.  I wish they could spend more time with each other.  I found them on the playset playing something they found interesting.  I love these two.  While they were doing that we had basketball going in the driveway and archery on the side of the house.  I love it when it's nice out!

May 2, 2015 - Golfing

Dave and Chris also came to town this weekend and stayed with us.  It was beautiful out so we decided we should really take advantage of living across from a golf course and go golfing.  We had lots of fun and it was for the most part pretty relaxing.  No one took it too seriously so that helped and we laughed a lot.  We should do this more often!

May 1, 2015 - Big Brother

Scott was in town for fishing this week and he came to Sawyer and Ethan's games tonight.  They didn't know he was coming so they were nicely surprised.  I, of course, thought we should take a selfie.  Scott wasn't super enthused about this but he kind of played along but said he wouldn't smile.  Well after the first one that I took that was no good he stopped smiling.  Gotta love the scowl!
