Solar Eclipse time!

How did YOU enjoy the 2024 solar eclipse?!?!?!?!


We were all prepared with our approved glasses!


It was hard to get a good shot this time, but it was MUCH more beautiful in real life!


We enjoyed our 86% coverage from the driveway with friends!



I LOVED seeing the eclipse in the shadows through the leaves on the trees this time!







We spent the last solar eclipse in 2017 with the neighbors too, but everyone has grown up quite a bit in 7 years!!! YIKES!!!!

Hope you enjoyed a safe & awesome viewing experience from wherever you were!!!

Happy Birthday Emily!

Happy 15th birthday to our sweet & spunky Emily! You have brought SO much joy into our lives & we are so proud of the beautiful young woman you are becoming!

 

We enjoyed a family day celebrating you with fun gifts, a delicious dinner & an awesome game night!


Dad has been waiting to gift you with these sporks for months now! Hope you enjoy them! 😆


And what better place to use your sporks than at Taco Bell!!!!!!


Abby put together a sweet basket of Emily's favorite things...



Emily has always wanted a "fun" present opening experience, so this was the year! It took me 2 hours to wrap up my special gift to her!







I SWEAR she was having fun... 😂








It took about a half an hour, but she made it to the gift & could not be more excited!


She and I are going to have an awesome date night together at DPAC to watch the Lion King!


Brian made her favorite meal: Swedish Pancakes for dinner!!!!


After dinner, we played another round of the mystery game, Finders Keepers... At Emily's request, we played the Scotland version this time and we solved it with only a few tiny clues to help!






We loved our family celebration with this beautifully sweet girl of ours! Thank you to everyone who sent happy birthday wishes to her and made her feel truly special!

Woodcreek Spring Carnival

We had an awesome time at our neighborhood spring carnival this weekend, and Abby did an awesome job again as the teen volunteer supervisor! She loves helping to run the events & does an amazing job keeping it going smoothly!



I enjoyed volunteering again this time too!


There were games, face painting, balloon animals, contests, prizes, vendors & food trucks! What an awesome way to kick off spring in the hood!



 



Looking forward to more fun outdoor events this spring & summer!!!
