Memorial Day Picnic

For Memorial Day this year, a lot of our friends were away. However, we were still able to have a few of them at our house for a picnic. Jay’s friend Dan bought his daughter Mercy who played the day away with Alyssa.
Chelle D’Antoni was in to see her parents and she came and hung out for a few hours before having to head back to the airport.
After eating, we discovered that we now have baby rabbits burrowed in our back flower garden. We found this out because a newborn bunny crawled out of the nest and could not find its way back. Thanks to Sarah for putting the bunny back in its home.

After the guys played a game of bocce ball, it started to rain so we hung out inside talking and enjoying everyone’s company.

Happy Memorial Day!

Griff's Birthday

On Sunday, we celebrated Griff’s birthday. After eating lunch, we spent most of the afternoon outside enjoying the awesome weather.
Griff opened his presents.
Braydon enjoyed the welding mask box as it turned out to be a pretty neat ride…with Amy’s help that is.
Baby even got to enjoy his friends as the neighbor dogs came over to say hello.

After presents, Trent, Jesse and Jay played catch for at leadt 45 minutes.

It was a relaxing day and we had a wonderful time. Happy Birthday Griff!

Grammy Foulke's Funeral

Friday afternoon was the memorial service Amy's grandmother, Mary E. Foulke. She had been ill for some time and died earlier in the week.
Those looking at the photo of the coffin may look at it as a sad event. However, Grammy Foulke had been ill for many months and we know that the coffin only contains her physical body. Praise God that her spiritual body is now in Heaven with the Lord! We will see her again, and so can you. Accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior today!

Andrea's 30th Birthday Surprise

On Saturday evening, several of our friends met at The Olive Garden to surprise Andrea Bessler for her 30th Birthday party. Amy could not attend as she was away for the weekend with her mom and sister in New Jersey spending the day with her grandmother.

Andrea was genuinely surprised and she was glad that she got to spend the night out with her friends.

Happy Birthday Andrea!

YARD SALE!

On Saturday, our neighborhood had a community yard sale. Since we had plenty of things to get rid of, we got up early and set up the driveway with things to sell. Kayla, Emily and Tyler stayed over the night before so they helped to set up. The Schreier’s and Davis’ also showed up with things to sell.
Throughout the day, we had a lot of buyers. The night before, Emily and Amy made muffins and lemonade for Emily to sell during the day. Her sales started out slow, but once she made her first 25 cents, she got motivated and started selling more. She made about 3 dollars during the sale.

Mark Rober even stopped by with Dante to say hello.

It was a great day with friends while making a little money in the process. Too bad it has already been spent on a new dehumidifier. Well, there’s always next year!
