And we're off!

Cade has been here for a week now and we have sure CRAMMED in the fun! We hung out with my parents last weekend, my parents and brother and sis-in-law this weekend and had a visit from Jeff's parents and niece and nephew mid week. It has been great fun so far!

Dad snuck a picture of Jeff-but of course he still managed to look away!


Scott, Grandma and Cade playing an intense game of Jenga while Brandy observes.

Under the finished pergola with the almost finished planters!


The guys chatting about something guyish I'm sure ;)


More Jenga


A random view of the house from the street


Working on a bird restaurant to hang in the back!


When Conner and Kylie were here we bought some fish for the pond. (we haven't seen them since they entered the pond. we're hoping they are alive. Jeff is working on clearing the water, so stay tuned...)




Trying to see the bottom with Cade's home made water periscope thing. Vacuum attachments and a jelly jar!


Enjoying a meal together (Jeff, Patsy, Jim, Kylie, Cade and Conner)




Oh, I forgot to mention we celebrated Cade's 12th bday! (May 20th for real, but we celebrate when he gets here in the summers.)


Bishops Castle. This very opinionated man has been building this castle by hand for 40 years. It was awesome, strange, scary, weird, cool, impressive and scary all at once.

The day Cade got here we also had tadpoles, snails and water plants delivered that we ordered online. Cade is welcoming them to their new home.






And that's all for now, folks. Plenty more excitement to come, I'm sure!
