To say that we have done a lot over the past month is an understatement. We've been to Kansas City 3 (yes 3) times since the middle of April, celebrated Mother's Day, Johnny took vacation time, updated some outdoor landscaping (including building a swingset), my dad & Teresa visited, Johnny's latest work project is beginning to take off (read about it here! I'm so proud of him!!) and now we're getting ready for a garage sale and I'm prepping for a 5K. Thankfully the month of June will bring a much slower time (we hope!)
We are super excited for a summer of swim lessons, park dates, swingset time, wagon rides, 4th of July, Daxton's birthday party, Johnny's High School Reunion, Uncle Bradley & Aunt Mae-Mae's Nebraska "stay" and lots of cookouts!
{{Prepare yourself: There are LOTS of pictures!}}
