A Weekend of Family Fun

Brent, April, Cade and Kasen came to Iowa for a family reunion involving April's family in Olin.  They touched down in Cedar Rapids for Friday night and Saturday morning at the Kahler's house.   I was invited to sleep over and join in the family fun.

Happy Father's Day

I am so blessed to continue to have my dad in my life.  He has been a role model of what a dad should be like.  He's an active part in the lives of his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.  I hosted the Sunday dinner to honor my dad.

Dad and Mom

Happy Father's Day to Brent, our son and Scott our son-in-law.  These two wonderful dads guide the lives of our four little grandsons.

2 Boys Birthday Bash in Indy

The first weekend in June has become the annual celebration of Cade and Kasen's birthdays! Cade's birthday is May 2 (see an earlier post of our time in Indy celebrating) and Kasen's birthday is June 3. Cade is now 4 and Kasen is 2! Dressing up all weekend for the photo booth pictures. The Cherry family (April's parents) with their three grandsons. Nana with her 4 boys -oops one is not participating! COUSINS AT PLAY! Last year the project was to build the play structure for the back yard. This year's project was to install a Goalsetters hoop. With a rented auger they attacked the hard and rocky soil. Landon was the measuring stick - the hole needed to be four feet deep. Bath time! There were 4 in the tub and the little one said "I need a place to sit down!" CHILDREN'S MUSEUM. The Indianapolis Children's Museum is one of the best! Dino digging Hot Wheels! This was a favorite of all the boys! Now the Lego room. Lunch at the museum. Riding the Carousel before we head back to Brent and April's. Happy birthday Kasen! Two years old! Photos that are just too good to leave out. What a fabulous birthday bash weekend! Thanks Brent and April for hosting. We look forward to this annual celebration which also gives us a chance to see April's family from Kansas. One last note - Scott won the Dutch Blitz game! He says that he never wins so I would be amiss if I didn't mention this.
