Finishing the School Year, Adam and Bethany's Wedding, and Summer Fun!

Before school ended, Bryce had a spring program.  Thankfully I was able to take that afternoon off to go to it!  So super cute!

He saw me and couldn't stop smiling!

Looking so grown up!

So fun to watch him sing and do all the motions!

Keeta and Craig came down to watch some ballgames the day before Craig's birthday.  We told them it was his birthday at Buffalo Wild Wings and he got announced!  :)

Happy birthday!

We've been watching lots of baseball lately...

He looks so old here!

And Mason finished up his flag football season!

Warriors!

And putting him in a headlock!

Mason with his new buddy Colt, who I had in kindergarten.  They'll be in the same grade, maybe class, in the fall!

So proud of this boy, not having played on a team since he was 5!

We also celebrated Zane turning 11.  He was already out of school on his birthday, but we met Adam and Bethany for supper at Minsky's.  They don't normally sing happy birthday, but since we are there so much they did!  He even got a huge bowl of cookies and ice cream.  It was delicious!

Being serenaded!

Happy birthday Zane!

How is he 11?

And so grown up?

Mason fell asleep like this...with his hand in front of his mouth!  Ha!

Mason tells us he's going to be a catcher in college, so he needs all the gear.  He's really been begging for a catcher's mitt.  So Matt told him if he did some work he could earn money for it.  So he took him to work and had him earn his keep for the day!

Sweeping the sidewalks!

Memorial weekend was busy with Adam and Bethany's wedding!  Friday we went to pick up her dress, then got our nails done.  It was such a fun day.  Then we had the rehearsal and dinner at their house.  It was so great to see our family again, and get to know Bethany's family as well!

I was honored to be a bridesmaid for the wedding, and the boys were "ring security."  I was very proud of them because I pictured it being a complete disaster.  But they wore what they were supposed to and did what they were supposed to.  It all turned out great!

Rings secured!

Watch out!

I don't know what was funny, but I love the expression on Mason's face.  He didn't leave Thomas' side much!

The wedding was beautiful!  It was at the Argosy Casino, so the ceremony, reception, and lodging were all there.  It was great to not have to travel and have everything there!  Everything was beautiful, the food was great, and we had an amaizng time!  Sunday morning we headed to Adam and Bethany's for brunch and gift opening!

Snap chat with Bryce.  Don't worry...it's root beer!

Thomas kept peeking up at Matt and grinning.  It was adorable!

It was nice to still have Monday off to spend time together as a family.  We just hung out with no real plans.  We were hoping to go to the pool but it hadn't opened yet, so we went to Scheel's instead!

Bryce found this hat and wanted to try it on!

We started our first official day off in the gym!  Werk it!

Thomas enjoying queso at BWW!

Get all of it buddy!

Happy boy - catcher's mitt!

Score!

Yesterday morning Zane came into my room and asked what the spot was on his back.  I thought it was a scab and tried to pick it off but it wasn't budging.  Matt said "it's a tick!"  I asked how he knew that and he said "because it has legs!"  AAH!  We've never had a tick bury its head inside of one of our children before!  Matt ended up getting it out.  Thankfully it hadn't started feeding so we didn't have to worry about that, but Zane was pretty worried about it for a little bit!

The pool is now open so we spend a few hours there each day, as well as some time in the gym and also some time relaxing.  I wish time would slow down right now, but I know that's wishful thinking!
