April Wrap-Up

Josh and the boys finished reading Hatchet.

Ike trying out his new rain boots. Good news, they're waterproof.

Hauling stuff in his combine. There has been lots of farm equipment out lately so this has renewed Ike's interest in his tractors.

Helping plant some flowers for next year.

Toast on a stick. Not the most sanitary way of dining but it works I guess.

Ike was mad because I made him change his clothes before school. Important information: he wore those clothes the day before. He's not the best in personal hygiene currently! :)

Sometimes you have to get creative so your hands are free for ice cream eating.

Ike and his buddy Bennett posing for me...they've done this same picture the last couple of years.















I don't have any more pictures of Dave...since Ike's home all of the time he gets the majority of my paparazzi-like hovering.

Dave getting ready for a baseball game.

I spent a lot of time in the cold/windy elements watching the boys practice for soccer and baseball. So thankful for warm weather!!!

The boys and grandpa Boo on his birthday.


















We cheered hard for the Pacers-so sad they didn't make it further this year!  Here's a video of Dave dunking like Oladipo. 

First Concert!

Josh and I took the boys to their very first concert during spring break-Rend Collective. If you haven't heard of them they are an Irish Christian band that is pretty folksy sounding. I am a big fan and the kids have liked them for a while now. Anyway, we got tickets (it was at a big church in Fort Wayne) and the kids (and us) were super pumped up for it!




Waiting for the band.
















Waiting to get inside. Holy moly it was cold for April!

We had really great seats and the show was amazing.











The kids fell asleep on the way home. They of course "weren't tired at all". :)

Before the show we ate at a restaurant called Junk Ditch in Fort Wayne. Yum!

I had about 10 pictures of the food we ate, but I thought I should only post one...here's our dessert. It was ridiculous.








Now that they've been to one concert they keep asking when we can go to another one. Little do they know, but we bought them Fall Out Boy tickets for their birthdays! The show isn't until October so we've gotta wait forever to tell them. I am horrible about keeping secrets...this is going to be so hard for me!
