Our Summer...... (Part 1 of 5)

Since I've basically taken the summer off from blogging, I wanted to highlight it in the best way I know how, going through my pictures and tell you how our summer went!  And actually, I don't really feel like we've had much of a "summer" - that is, the normal Indiana humid, hot summers that we're used to.  We've had a few days so far of terrible heat, but mostly, it's been rather mild.

Mild summers mean not much pool time, which is unfortunate, however, we've been able to enjoy some other activities that we usually wouldn't because of the lack of heat.  I suppose there are ups and downs to all of this cooler weather.

1) ANDREW GRADUATED!

The beginning of May started with Andrew Graduating from college!  Congratulations Andrew, we are so proud of you!!!

2) Mother's Day Picnic

My brother's family and our family met up with my mom and her husband for Mother's Day at Clifty Falls State Park in Madison IN for an awesome Mother's Day lunch.  It was good food, and great company.  Since the park was a couple hour drive from our house, we didn't really do much else that day, but it was good to spend time with my Mom.  I cannot help but show off the pretty cupcakes I made, and they were delicious!

3) Katy's Birthday & Party

Oh my little Katybug.  We had such a good time for her birthday party and on her birthday as well.  This girl didn't want anything to do with her cake, but she still had fun and we all had a good time celebrating her big day!  We did her party on the Sunday before Memorial Day (which was also Katy's actual birthday) so that family could spend their actual Monday at home.  Here she is in her birthday outfit.  Precious, right?

Sitting with her cake and wanting nothing to do with it.  Although it probably didn't help that she had several people watching her - she was just a tad bit uncomfortable I think.

I just love the way her cakes turned out.

4) First Swim of 2014

Cooper and Andrew took their first dip in the pool - and it was cooooooooooollllllllllllllldddddddddd....  But they had fun, swam for just a bit and got out.

This was during a point in time where Cooper was obsessed with sticking out his tongue.

Cooper really liked jumping in the pool this year.

5)  On Memorial Day (Katy's actual birthday) we went to an Indianapolis Indian's game.  We had Steph, Ryan and KB over for a late lunch, then headed to the game that evening.  We brought blankets and sat out on the lawn.  It was a good time.  We didn't make it to the fireworks, everyone was just too tired and the kids were ready for bed.

Cooper's always giving us some kind of show.

Happy Birthday Katy!

That wraps up our May!  Parts 2-5 coming soon (I hope.......)
