June ADVENTURES

June ADVENTURES

Joden started off his summer falling at the Y and hurting his forehead.  This picture does not look as bad as it looked in person. He hits his head all the time:(  

 On our way to Sidney a fly got in the car and Reeve screamed so LOUD:(  This went on for about 30 minutes until I could kill the dang thing!  

 Nothing better than hanging out with family!  Owen and Joden were hunting and we were picking on Piper:)

 Nothing like a good ole' smore!  

 Brothers!  This was Mike's face after Dan farted in his hand and released it in his face :)  How gross, huh?  I don't recall ever doing that with my sisters!

 Having a blast at cousin Brooke's wedding (one of Mike's 50 some cousins).  We did end up sending them home early with my sister so we could enjoy ourselves :)

 I truly did marry into a fun and loving family!  These are just two of my four awesome sister in laws.  Lisa is in the middle and Mike's sister Shannon is on the right.  Love you girls <3

 This picture melts my heart!  Mike's dad Gene dancing with one of the most amazing woman I have ever met, his mom.  This lady still is getting out on the dance floor:)  

 We really had a fun night!  I had to force my husband to leave once he starting throwing his shoes in the air :(  He said they kept falling off so he thought why not :)
                    

 It wouldn't be a Schumacher wedding without some craziness.  This is a game of tippy cup :)  The fun thing though was that several people playing were just drinking water or pop!  Others not so much....

 Happy Father's Day!  I know I am biased, but I truly believe my kids have an amazing dad:)  He LOVEs them so much and is extremely involved in their lives!  We look forward to many more memories ahead.

 We spent Father's Day over at Gene's house playing Corn Hole and relaxing in the back yard.  The weather was perfect!

 Reeve had a blast with her cousin Piper!  She is so motherly.  Parts of me would love to see her be a big sister because I know she would LOVE it, but I do not think that will happen :)

 Just enjoying summer break with one of my favorite little guys!

 I enjoyed a trip to Denver with the girls basketball team.  I will be coaching the freshman team this year so I went along to get to know everyone better:)  We had a great time and even got to go down the Alpine Slides!

 While I was away in Denver, Grand Island got some bad weather :(

 I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE our new landscaping.  I begged Mike to fix up our yard this year.  When we moved in almost 3 years ago now, it was not in good shape at all.  Last summer we dug everything out and saved money to afford landscaping this summer!  Everything is blooming wonderfully after all the rain we have had this summer.  Thanks Andrew Frankforter!

 Joden was digging for rocks!  He got this as a birthday gift from his cousin Owen.  It entertained him for over an hour-what a great gift :)  Thanks Owen!

 I always tease Mike :)  I was making fun of him because he eats LOTS of peanut butter with his apple....you know more peanut butter than apple!

 And more teasing that his legs are pretty white compared to his arms :)

 Last year we stumbled upon the outdoor theatre show at Yaney Park in Kearney.  Last year we saw Seussical and this year we saw Shrek.  It is such a fun event and it is free!  I highly recommend it :)

 Due to all of our outdoor work we decided to have a Patio Party with adults only!  We had a blast, but I think we are too old to stay up that late :)  

 The guys decided to play a little Polish Horseshoes!

 Here is the party in action!  I LOVED my balloon decor:)  Of course I found the idea on Pinterest.  

 Corn Hole!

 This was our whole crew that came over for the party!

 Silly picture of the whole crew!

 Can you tell the boys had a few drinks?  And for some reason my balloons got burnt...hmmmm.  Also, that is one of my closest friends Katie and I!

 After the Patio Party I headed west for one last week of fun before returning to work.  Reeve, Joden, and I spent 3 days at my parents place enjoying the lake and I got a tad burnt!  It hurt for several days.

Let the outdoor work begin!  Project #1 involved tearing up the yard to put in a patio.  Here is the before.

I took the kids to Big Apple Bagel to get them out of Mike's way!

Stamping the patio.

After several years of being invited to Do the Brew, we decided to go!  It was a fun time with lots of beer tasting:)  

Two girls (Jeno and Shawna) I met this year through work.  I have enjoyed getting to know them and look forward to more fun times to come!

We ran in to our good friend Abby!  

The Rossi's were our hosts...thanks!  We had a great time with you both:)

The next day we were able to complete the patio.  We have already had many relaxing nights out there!

This is project #2.  We fixed up the screened in porch area and it too is very relaxing!

Next up was a wonderful weekend of celebrating Mike's brothers wedding!  We could not be more excited for Dan and of course to have Lisa officially join the Schumacher family!  Love you both:)  

Wedding nails!

Helping Dan and Lisa decorate.

Mike's sisters, my niece Piper and me :)

And now with the bride :)

Poor Joden did not feel well all weekend.  He had a bad case of strep and all he wanted to do was lay down:(  Of course I did not want him sick, but it sure helped us keep our eye on him!

Snuggles with my niece Piper!

We finished decorating around 8:30 on Friday night!

I thought it would be fun to get Reeve's hair done for the wedding.  It turned out great:)

On the party bus with my sister in law!

The beautiful, happily married Dan and Lisa Schumacher:) 

He surprised me with a kiss!  Love him <3

Mike, his brother, and brother-in-law getting a little too close:)

These two truly are two of the most genuine guys (in my opinion:)!  Love them both!

Dancing with miss Reeve:)

Still not feeling well:(  He crashed on the cement floor even with extremely loud music playing!  For anyone who knows Joden that is a definite sign that he is not feeling well.

 She always stretches her legs in the car.  She will literally be in this position for 5 minutes at a time:)  Crazy girl!

She LOVES to play with her babies.  She sure got them all packed up and ready to go:)

Joden officially is signed up to be a Gates Gator.  Pretty crazy to think he is already going to be a Kindergartener.  He is really excited and would love to go today!

The kids both got to participate in Time to Shine this year for gymnastics:)

Our next outdoor project involved our front yard.  Here is the before picture.

In progress...

More in progress...

                

Joden got to take his best buddy Cooper to gymnastics with him.  They were so excited to go in so they waited by the door:)

Both kids had programs for the end of the year for daycare and Joden also got to graduate from preschool!  It is always fun to watch them perform:)

There signs explain the picture, but crazy to think how fast preschool went!  It seems like we just had Joden not long ago!

We spent Memorial Day weekend just relaxing at home!  It was great to just lay low after the wedding fun and end of the school year festivities.

One night Joden decided to start drawing and he told me this is him with his friend Chloe:)  They are holding up umbrellas.  I was impressed with his thinking!

First pool day!  

Sibling love :)

I decided to go with a mom do!  It is so easy to do my hair now, so I love that part about it.

We went to our old sitter's sons birthday party.  The kids had a blast!

I thought this was quite the position to take a nap in:)  It is also a great ending picture for May...we had lots of fun, which of course wears us all out!  Looking forward to some time off work and of course fun in the sun!
