Memorial Day Weekend!

Saturday morning the weather straightened out so we packed up and made the long 3.5 mile drive to River's Bend for a night of camping on the Root River! We all had a great time. The boys played in the river, we grilled supper, roasted marshmellows, made Jiffy-pop popcorn over the fire and slept in Grandpa and Grandma Remme's camper! Uncle Derek even joined us for the night! The boys had a great time running around and we found it so relaxing that we stayed well into Sunday night.

Can they stay this age forever!

I'm sure the water was freezing!

Nappy time!

Baldy was even there!

Staining the Deck

We've put this off a year more than we should have. The staining process started the weekend of May 9th with a trip to Fleet Farm to check on the price of deck stain. Easy enough, right? The paint/stain expert was on break so we spent a chuck of time trying to figure out what we needed. We finally spotted a 5 gallon pail that was in the lovely shade of Coco Shell and it was...on sale!! During this entire process Myles is hanging on the cart... next thing we know the cart is falling on it's side with the 5 gallon pail included. I managed to catch the cart with my pinkie finger! The rest of the weekend was rainy so we waited until the following weekend to tackle the day long project. Both boys were eager to help and did a great job!!

Moving furniture back onto the deck! Hard workers!

Nate moved furniture while I took pictures! :0)

All done!

It's been so long!

I apologize for not updating this like I thought I would. Where has the time gone? Here is some of the things we've been up to!
