Sunday night we had the Curry family along with the Delamarters and the Hoerleins over for a good old fashioned bbq. Tina's parents, Ken and Joan brought their ATV's over and gave the kids rides on them around the neighborhood. This may have been the highlight of the evening. We had a fun relaxed evening with great friends.
Finished DIY cornhole set! Complete with lights to play when the light gets low. On request from Kelly, painted to match the house!
The boys had fun with Pappie today making cornhole sets. The kids love to play this. It was a fun day of male bonding!

What a FUN week we all had. Memories were made and cousins bonded. We had a special time together.
After our move in December and a very long winter, we were finally able to get some front landscaping down at our place. We love it. Besides not having our front step look like a construction site, it now also gives us a space to sit or play in the front. As part of this we also added a second driveway entrance with some fresh gravel.
Here is the before shot:
Here is the after shot
Couple more shots of the new second driveway (on the right side of the picture), and the lawn from the bottom of the driveway looking up towards the house as you drive in.
The kids have always wanted a tree-house so now that we have some space and some trees, we decided to build one this spring! The hard thing about trees is that you can't move the tree... but the great thing is that if the house isn't exactly square... oh well... its a treehouse right? We finished painting it this weekend with some extra paint from the house. They have been asking when the second story will be installed...
Here is a video that Abbie helped me put together that gives a tour.
Kelly shared her birthday with Mother's day this year! A double celebration for a great mother and a great person!
Today was Good Friday and we had our good friends the Warricks, their grandparents and the Dittmans over. It was a wonderful evening celebrating Easter. The kids played outside, painted bird houses and decorate cookies while the adults visited and had lots of laughs. We couldn't have asked for a better evening. When you live far from family your friends become like family. So thankful for the rich friendships God has provided.
After a great week with family in CA we returned home to a nice sunset with storm clouds over the mountains.
