What We've Been Up To

It's no secret that we've been gone from the blogging world for awhile now.  Life just gets to be too busy to keep up, especially during the summer!  So, instead of trying to catch you up on everything I've missed telling, I'm going to sum it all up in pictures and minimal words ...

We cleaned out some of our cabinets to prepare for our kitchen upgrade ...

 Ethan has had some fits ...

 I planted our vegetable garden ...

Ethan played with sidewalk chalk and got it all over his face ...

We've taken baths ...

 Ethan has run around the house in just his diaper (and LOVED it) ...

 Ellis has played soccer (and has done amazingly great this season) ...

Colin graduated from Kindergarten and refused to smile for the camera ...

We took a family (minus Ethan) vacation ...

We visited Wall Drug in South Dakota and posed for pictures with fake cowboys ...

We hiked through the Black Hills ...

We visited Mount Rushmore ...

We had new counter tops installed in our kitchen (more on that to come) ...

... and much, MUCH more.  We have been very busy in the start of summer and are continually on the run.  So, I do apologize for the lack of blogging, but we are really living life right now!
