Saturday Staycation Day!

Saturday morning the kids were up early!
and played outside, swam then we had lunch
it looks like we were super busy but some how we weren't, at one point on satuday after lunch everyone took a nap, me, granny holding dash and britton fell asleep on couches in the living room, and several people napped upstairs while a few i think were shopping at the silver spider in town. It was great that I didnt feel I had to entertain the whole time, it was all family and family-friends so they know there way around the kitchen, farm, house, whatever!
after naps!! The Ditches showed up and we swam again!


 
look at all those kids!
my mom stole baby Josh for quite a while!
a group photo! all of us went to cornell and ran cross country except for Matt he did track though so that counts! :) with 4 of those boys we could have a future 4x4 team!
the grandparent section...how lucky are we to have them all here at our house!!
after we dried off and said goodbye to the ditches it was time for farm animals!
and 4 wheeler rides....kirsten forgot to steer and went in the ditch!
boys vs girls volleyball
annnd we finally set up the projector and watched a movie outside, we wanted to do this last year.

8 Years

this is really late!!
EIGHT?!?! where did the time go!
and how is it possible that we love each other more then that day!
 
we still party like rock stars, we just dont recover like rock stars!
we have lost 2 grandparents 
Ean's grandpa Floyd
and my great grandma Florence
 
but feel fortunate that they got to meet our boys! 
we have been through hell in trying to "conceive" a family but we do believe that it has made us stronger as a couple...I kinda feel like matching tattoo's are in order after this year..like "bring it" or "dont eff with us"  cause we can take whatever life throws at us!
or just this picture tattooed on our backs lol
I am confident that there is nothing the 2 pictured above can't handle!
we have brought 2 of the cutest most orneriest miracles into this world....and they are our world!
 

and  Ean still picks on me!
and I still adore him.
the 8 year gift was bronze or pottery, we decided to do a combined gift and got 2 large pottery flower pots for the deck and Ean got me a clematis which is the flower for 8 years!

On our anniversary we got dressed up and went out to dinner with the boys!
on wednesday Grammy came up to watch the boys and we had tom's taxi pick us up and take us to see a band we love honeyhoney!
it was a great night!
