I think I'll go to Boston

For our 10th anniversary I planned a surprise trip for Travis and I to Boston. Boston had been #1 on his bucket list. I pulled it off being a complete surprise. He came home from work Tuesday and I told him to change clothes, tell the kids bye, and get in the car. The look on his face was priceless, such confusion. He didn't know where we were going until we checked in at the airport on Wednesday morning.

Spectacle Island



Beach on Spectacle Island. The island was used for a long time as a trash dump, so the beaches are covered in class and pieces of pottery.



First time touching the Atlantic.

Crazy, creepy and cool old military fort.

Twilight Time

Tonight was the first night for the Twilight Theatre marquee to be lit up. It was another reason to celebrate for our community. We drove around the block a couple of times to look at it and take pictures. I loved to hear the kids reactions when they saw it. Amelia said "it's beautiful!" I am so excited for them to make new memories in this place and in this community we call home.

Lane is 2!

Tonight we went to Tanner and Jill's house to celebrate Lane's 2nd birthday. It was a fun evening and grea to spend time with the family eating and laughing.

Stephanie and Grant

Saturday was Stephanie and Grant ' s wedding.  It was beyond beautiful and so much fun. Amelia was one of the flower girls. She could have danced all night at miss Stephanie ' s dance party. Love those crazy kids. All the kids flock to her and danced with her all night. 

Bo's birthday

Last weekend was Bo's 5th birthday party. Clint, Ashley, the kids and I went to McPherson for the day. We rode in style in a nice short bus. It was a great time with good friends.
