$3 sprinkler

Who knew a 3 dollar sprinkler could be so much fun?

WE'RE SO READY FOR SUMMER!

Shawn's Going-Away Party

Our good friend, Shawn Phillips, just got his next assignment in the US Coast Guard. He's headed to Kodiak, Alaska!!

Each summer he comes home for a visit and we try to get all of our college friends together for a bbq. We had a great turnout this year and everyone ended bringing their kids so that made it even more entertaining. It's so funny to think back to all of the wild parties we had at the Sigma Nu house and now when we get together there's all these kids under 5 running around! haha

Dave grilled hamburgers, brats and hot dogs and everyone brought a side dish. We had a great time, just enjoying old friends and nice weather. Here are a few pics from the party.

Shawn, Chris, John, Dave, Tim, Shane & Joey
Jodi, Me, Geri, Sarah, Jess, Blanca & Dana

Let's hope these boys can stay out of trouble when they're in college together!

Crop Night!

Last weekend, Randi hosted us at her house in Henrietta for a crop night. We had a great time working on our scrapbooks and even got the Clay County Sheriff involved! haha

Long story (that is freakin hilarious if you were there) but we saw car tail lights outside by her husband's barn at like 2 AM and freaked out b/c it was just us girls there and she lives out in the middle of nowhere. We called the Sheriff's office and they sent out 2 deputies that were nice enough to point out (with a huge spotlight) that there is no reason to be scared of a 4-wheeler. haha Come to find out, one of Randi's husband's lawn guys had used it and forgot to put it in park. Therefore, the headlights and tail lights stay on when it's in neutral. (We thought it was teenagers making out in Randi and Brad's barn. haha!)

I think the deputies, AND the dispatcher that we kept on the phone the entiretime, definitely got a good laugh out of us that night!

Sunday Dinner

I have a great group of mommy friends and we've started getting together on Sunday evenings with the kiddos to enjoy dinner and some play time. It started as a weight-loss challenge (which sadly ends this week - I haven't met my goal yet), but I'm hoping we keep it going because we sure enjoy it!

This past Sunday, we hosted at our house and Thana brought the kids Jello pudding pops for dessert. As you can see, they enjoyed them to the last drip.

Yummy Watermelon

Just wanted to share a cute picture of Hayden after finishing off the bowl of watermelon!

Hayden's such a big helper!

(AND looks super cool in his Diego shades)

Karaoke

My friend Thana has been competing in the karaoke competition at Buffalo Wild Wings for a couple of months now and made the April Finals. We went out to support her and she won 2nd place (and $50!) She also got a ticket to compete in the big Finals in July. Way to go Thana!!
