Family

We have been blessed to have a lot of our family come visit us and for us to visit a lot of family as well in the past month. Here are some pictures from all our family time! Since we haven't put any updates on the blog lately, I am publishing 6 posts tonight so be sure to keep scrolling down for all the new pictures and information!

Adelin's Birthday Party

Adelin will turn 2 years old this Saturday (the 21st), but we were lucky enough to celebrate early with her when we went home for my class reunion. She had an "Elmo" themed party and it was a lot of fun! Thanks for letting us celebrate early with you, Ade!

10 year class reunion

Matt, Landon and I headed home for my 10-year class reunion. Where has the time gone? It was so much fun! My friend, Autumn, planned the reunion and did a great job! It was so much fun to see everyone and catch up. We didn't do a very good job of taking pictures (probably because were were talking too much), but here are the ones we have! Matt had to leave and drive back on Sunday to go to work, but Landon and I stayed until Wednesday and flew back home.

After we left the reunion, we headed to Steak 'n Shake, as always! This is Autumn, Meghan and I before eating!
Meghan's parents hosted brunch for us Sunday morning after the reunion and it was delicious! It was fun for our kids to play together and for all of us, including our parents, to hang out a little bit more. Here is a cute pic of Aspen, Chloe and Landon!

Children's Discovery Museum

On Monday morning, Landon and I headed to Bloomington with my parents to spend the day with Jeremy, Cindy and Adelin. We began our fun day at the Children's Discovery Museum and the kids loved it! Our good family friends, Warren and Marci, also met us there with their granddaughter, Gwen. Gwen is the daughter of my good friend, Beth, but she had to work and couldn't come with us. Gwen is a month younger than Landon.

State Farm Park

After the Children's Museum, we had lunch and took naps and then headed to State Farm Park. I had not been there recently and it is super nice! We had a blast and cannot wait to go back again sometime.

Me and Landon racing Jeremy and Adelin down the slide. I know it looks like they are way ahead of us, but I'm pretty sure we still won! For some reason, Jeremy could not go quickly down the slides!

Adelin....soo cute!


Meeting the Twins

On Tuesday, Mom, Landon and I went to see my good friend, Angie. Ang had twins at the end of May and I finally got to meet them when I was home. They are adorable and so good, and Angie looks great! Their names are Maggie and Maci. We had such a good visit catching up and meeting the precious girls. Thanks for letting us come visit!

I'm pretty sure Maci is on the left and Maggie is on the right!

Cedar Point

Matt's sister, aunt, uncle and two cousins are here visiting. On Saturday, all 8 of us loaded into the Mountaineer and headed to Cedar Point. It is an amusement park about 45 minutes away. We got to the park at 10:15 am and left at 10:45 pm. We had so much fun, but were exhausted by the time we got home. The weather was beautiful....75 degrees, no humidity and partly sunny all day. We couldn't have had a better day! Landon was such a good little boy all day, and he had so much fun riding on the rides, as did everyone else. Here are some pictures from our fun day. We hope all of you had a great weekend too!
