The Blue Angels

The Blue Angels were here!!

It’s been awhile since they have been here, but we love to go and watch them.

We had passes for three cars to go this year – so we filled three cars and headed out for a fun Sunday afternoon!

Tate is back there in this photo!

It was perfect weather for an air show!!

We had lunch while we waited for it to start.

SO thankful we brought ear plugs!!

And thankful we brought Tate’s even better ear protection – because the shunt in his head makes everything much louder for him.

The planes were simply amazing.

So amazing!!

It was a very fun afternoon!

It was hot, so we came home afterward for dinner and a swim!!

My wonderful hubby planned this day!

Thanks, babe, for the fun day!!

We appreciate all you do for us!!

I love watching the kiddos enjoy things like this!

Blue Angels, you were amazing!!

Can’t wait till next time!!

River Salem Turns Four

It’s true.

Our Rivy boy is already four years old!

His birthday was on June 4th!

He is our blond, blue-eyed boy who lives life with so much enthusiasm!!

He brings us so much joy!!!

His birthday party was on the farm with family, friends, good food, and lots of fun!!

Lane loved helping his nephew build his new Legos, and now River counts on Lane for Lego repairs.

So cute!

I wish I could insert right here the video message that River sent to Addie Mae to tell her what kind of cake he wanted!

It was VERY specific and the cutest video EVER!

Addie did not disappoint!

It was a fun Sunday on the farm!

Celebrating our Rivy!!

I wonder how much longer he will let me call him Rivy??

Hanging on tight – they are growing so fast!

We have a cute Chinese Cherub here who is going to be TEN years old in just a few weeks.

SOB.

Happy, happy birthday, River Salem!

WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Team Tate Once Again

Team Tate is headed back to UW Madison today for a full day of appointments including a sedated procedure to check on Tate’s bladder.

These appointments are routine, but the day will still be long!

Prayers appreciated for travel mercies, peace, ease in sedation, and strength.

As I prepared my heart for this day, I couldn’t be anything but thankful that we get to be the ones at Tate’s side today!

It’s such a privilege!

We are so blessed!!

Team Tate, let’s do this!!

Our Grands!!

It’s been awhile since I have shared a post about our precious grandbabies!

Who, by the way, are not babies anymore!

They are already five, five, four, two and a half, and six months old.

Time is a thief, I am here to tell ya!!

Let me also say that there is NOTHING like having grand babies!

They are our sunshine!!!!!

These photos are from May through now and I cannot believe how much Aspen is changing these days!

She is full of life and joy – just like her Mama and Daddy!!

I don’t seem to focus on getting photos as much these days – especially when we are getting to enjoy time with our favorites!

I am thankful for the photos I have though!

They are such a joy to look back on!!

You can always find a pile on our couch when there is something good to see!

This first photo was when it was hailing – in May.

Something to see for sure!

This next photo was when the hay was coming down across our road for the first time – in June.

Don’t you love how even Ruby is up there??

You cannot see Clyde, but he is standing behind the couch next to Eliza!

We just spent the WHOLE day with these cuties yesterday – and my heart is SO full!!

Can’t wait to share that post soon!!!

These grand babies of ours are growing up fast.

How I wish time would slow down, don’t you?

Hanging on tight!!

WE LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!
