End of May...almost Summer!

We spent the end of May celebrating Peter and wrapping up the school year. Peter had a great birthday - my parents came down and had dinner with us, but this boy started opening gifts right after breakfast :)

We also managed to fit in more bicycling! It's fun for us to go as a family :)

We went to the Hoffman's to celebrate Brooke and Peter (and swim!) and I got the best "twin cousin" picture to date:

I took the kids to a local stream/park when it was really hot two weeks ago. Caught them all holding hands!

Thanksgiving Turkey

My brother-in-law raises turkeys, and we had one on Thanksgiving this year! It was a 31 pound turkey and took up a lot of space in my refrigerator for a few days before the holiday. I started the cooking process early so it was done by lunchtime. Here is the turkey, barely fitting into my oven! "the farmer and the chef" :)

Spring has sprung?

This week has brought some strange weather! On Saturday, it was freezing while we watched Peter's baseball game - it was the "late night, under the lights" 8:00 pm game. and my toes were numb when the game was over. Then, Sunday was beautiful weather to watch soccer! April scored TWO goals in her game! We had a silent-auction at a church lunch on Sunday to raise money for the Youth Group Missions Trip. Peter bid on a cooler full of interesting flavored soda-pop....and he won! The first one he tried? Pickle Pop. For a few years, our neighborhood has been the area of choice for a few mallard ducks to nest. The momma duck picked my neighbors' driveway this year...it seems like Spring must be coming if there are eggs!
