Hank's 2nd Birthday

A Birthday Hug from Daddy
" I'm two now and I am going to be good now... I promise."

BASH!

Jen and Matt are throwing a 4th of July BASH at their residence this weekend! We will be playing many a game, eating, celebrating the country we call home and of course celebrating Miss Madison's 2nd birthday!

I would also like to say Happy Birthday to Hank on Saturday July 5, Wyatt on Sunday July 6, and Lauren on Monday July 7!!!!!

The Culprit

For the past few days we've noticed some of our tomatoes missing. They are either completely gone all together or have bites out of them. At first, we suspected Hank, but further investigation eliminated him from our line up.
While grilling hotdogs last night, I found this little guy hiding a bit too close to our plants. We tried to catch him, but he was just too fast. We believe he has been scared away for now. But we're on to you, little rabbit!! We're on to you!!!

Fun with Maddie

"Helping" Aunt Beth sweep the floors!
She did a marvelous job, lemme tell ya!
Silly goose!
Peeking in

Ohio for Lissa's Big Day

My wonderful husband driving me to Ohio AGAIN!
My little man - he really loves kisses from Aunt Beth!
Uncle Pete and Wyatt - saying their goodbyes.
Hank thought he was really cool bc he could ride like this. It didn't last very long bc his eyes got dried out. But he tried to be cool for as long as he could.
