Spring Break 2021

For spring break this year we spent the first half of the week at home and the last half in Evansville. The weather was so nice! It ended up being in the 70s in Wabash and we had a day in the 80s in Evansville, crazy!

Ike made himself some homemade popsicles out of pineapple Fanta. 

Morning walk, pretending to be by the beach!

Some of my spring flowers, they did so well this year.

 

I finished this awesome puzzle Tony and Ben gave me. So proud of myself :)

The boys went on a brother date to 50 East. I took the picture then left them to hang out.

Next we headed down to Southern Indiana to visit for several days.

We finally got to meet Buster, Tony and Ben's new puppy. Ugh he is so cute!

Kids helping Gamma cook breakfast. Of course we had french toast AND pancakes.

We went to the Lincoln Boyhood Memorial National Park with grandpa and Tony. I'd never been before, and it was neat to see where Abe spent many years of his childhood. Unfortunately the visitors center was closed so we didn't get to see everything.

Bronze casting of the original cabin.

So many pretty flowers!

Grandpa and the boys walking on the train track.

After that we went and got Popeye's (Dave is always talking us into it!) and met Tony and Buster at the park.

It was super windy and not that warm so we didn't make it long!

Kids and Josh playing with the dry ice that came with the fancy steaks we bought Dad for his bday.

On Friday we went to Owensboro to the awesome river front park and then got pizza at Fetta, so good!

Came back to do some golf carting at Grandpa Dave's house.

On Saturday we celebrated my Dad's 60th birthday! We got him some obnoxious balloons and Wagyu Delmonico steaks from Black Hawk Steaks. 

Crafting with Grandma Kyra.

After they were sous vide for 3 hours. 

Finished product.

It's tiny but this is a clip of Ike trying oysters. We all tried them. Blech not for me but I was glad I did it!

Posing with the birthday boy. Ha!

And that wraps up our spring break. We had so much fun seeing everybody! 

Catching Up with March

We didn't have much going on in March, so here is a quick wrap-up!

Dave competed in state for his robotics team. They had a great season and even made it to Worlds! They decided not to compete since it would be virtual this year, but we are hoping for a great season next year!

Ike waiting patiently for the state results :)

When they found out they made it to worlds.

Finally put the lights on Ike's bike that he got for Christmas from the Smiths.

Ike went to his friend Jacob's sleepover birthday party and had the most fun. They ate shrimp for dinner which I could not stop talking about!

Josh helped me put together and prepare my new raised bed gardens. I am ready for warm weather to get farming!

Just a picture of Ike reading by me one day. 

Dave started going to a youth group at a friend's church a couple weeks ago. My friend Jodi took them to the park and they had dinner before going.

The Smith boys came up on a Friday during their spring break to hang out with us. Then on Saturday they all stayed with Josh's parents while we had a date in Indy! We went to a salt float place-it was super different, ha! I think we liked it overall. And we had lunch out and a quiet evening at home. Sunday was Palm Sunday so we all went to our church and then had brunch and an Easter egg hunt.

And last but not least, Ike joined a wrestling club. He is super excited about this!
