Visitors

Gabe is gone for the week shooting in Wisconsin so we lucked out to have some visitors down to help out. 


Wouldn't be a visit without a trip to Dell's Diner for pancakes! Thanks, Mom and Dad!



Next up, cousin Lydia and Aunt Keilah!



They were brave enough to venture out for supper with us!

Happy boy!

Happy girl!

Thanks for coming Lydia! 


p.s. In case anyone is about to call child services on me for letting his hair get so out of control!
We finally got that under control the next night!

Wedding Weekend

Although summer is off to a great start some days can be a little crazy!

It was the perfect time for a little wedding weekend away without the kids!

Our new favorite breakfast spot in Peoria, Illinois - June Bugs!

Meanwhile... Henry lets us know - Mom, Cooper (the pony) is my best friend.

Celie wasn't so sure : ) 


This kid is pretty spoiled. 
He comes home after a weekend with a pony at Grandpa and Grandma's to 'his' friend Ken leaving a fishing pole at the front door and a promise of a boat ride! As Henry tries to explain....'Mom, we are going to take Ken's boat and use the fishing pole to lift the missile out of the lake.' ??Not sure where the missile came from but at least the story has evolved from using a finishing pole instead of a crane to fish it out.

Henry visits the Dentist

Henry has been asking to go to the dentist ever since he read Berenstain Bears and the Dentist...6 months ago! I finally got my act together and made an appointment. He walked right in, opened his mouth real wide and...showed the secretary his teeth! 

Waiting has never been so fun!

Asking the dental assistant how her day was going.

He couldn't seem to keep his mouth closed : ) 

Meeting the dentist!


Counting teeth!


Getting his teeth cleaned on the first visit!!



Ended just about as good as it started!

Bye to the Bosschers

It was the perfect day to gather in Hampton!

Celie enjoyed going up and down chairs for her first hour of fun!

Henry ran right into his birthday buddies arms to say HI!

Everyone was just excited to catch up with each other!

Silas I do believe this is the second tooth you have lost at a family gathering!
I'm pretty sure I have a similar picture from New Years!!



Best thing about getting together with family - there are lots of cousins to play with!


Important girl chit-chat inside!

Learning the latest on Ty...and his girl ; ) 

It was definitely the type of gathering where kids could sneak as many sweet drinks as they wanted : ) I remember that being a favorite when I was little!



Comparing lawn chairs

Celie was pretty happy to be with her Daddy.

Henry couldn't get enough of this crazy crew!

Getting desserts set out!

Discussing the upcoming entry to fatherhood?

Rootbeer floats for all!


A day for miracles no doubt!


And a day to feel ridiculously blessed to be able to call these people family.

We are going to miss the Bosscher's more than they can imagine.

It won't be easy without our sweet and caring Addy girl!

And watching Grandpa Lyle pray over you still brings tears to my eyes.

But until next time...

Your picture will be close and our prayers will be often!
