happy fathers day!!!

soccer

lyla has loved her first soccer season. she was on a fun team with an encouraging coach. she says she wants to be a professional soccer player when she grows up:)

a wedding

callie and dustin got married! it was a beautiful wedding and fun night. look at these cuties! this is one fun bunch!

lyla saw me painting a gift for the bride and groom and wanted to join in. i loved it and DID NOT want to give it away, hahaha.

she wanted to give it directly to the bride…

these handsome guys!

mother’s day x2

i got to celebrate mother’s day twice. once with the kids and adam…

…and another with everyone. a bike ride to the sandbar for dinner and live music. am beyond bless both with being a mama and having an amazing mom.  the way she invests in our family is a model that has spoken to me over the years.  she gives our kids the most important gift: TIME. she gives hours upon hours (sometimes whole weekends!) of her life to sleepovers, hotel visits, bug festivals, road trips, boat rides on the lake, days at the river, and countless other things that i’m forgetting.  all of this to make life fun and build memories. i’m so thankful!!!

public works week

the city of meridian had their public works week.  adam had a booth for the wastewater division.

the kids got to operate a tractor, which was a hit…

lyla as a little turd…yes, they REALLY did this…

veterans pond

this beautiful weather brings us to the water. today we went with the beeman cousins for a swim and float…

so proud of their building...

rocket fuel

look at that happy face, i’m positive fire is his love language.if there is one thing that has held eli’s interest his whole life, it’s fire.  he’s moved on from making his own little fires to making rocket fuel and fuses.  of course, he can’t do this by himself, so adam made him one happy camper this weekend by indulging in some rocket fuel fun…

don’t worry, lyla was on the ready with a hose incase something went wrong…
