Wedding week was full of so much fun! This was when we went to a cookout to meet Jason's side of the family!

after teh weeding and after we flew back, Regan moved to the Atlanta area for the summer. Kai loved the sunroom

And Regan saw teh cutest baby deer!

This was the day we arrived in the States...first time all of us were back together again!!!

May 2025 - Putt Putt

My brother and his family drove up for the day to see us...and he picked my sister up, too! It literally had been pouring ALL day. It paused for a minute while we were getting to the restaurant and then it stopped just long enough for us to play a round of miniature golf.

We played boys and girls (with Grace technically on the boys team but she didn't know that...she went last so it looked like she was goign first for the girls)

Kelly, Kim, and Shelby

The girls

They both got a hole in one (Well, technically it was two for Grace but close enough)

Lauren wanted a picture by the cows because she loves cows...

...but then as she is posing, the one on her left started moving and talking. It scared her to death and we all laughed so hard. The only thing better would have been a video.

Katherine

Benjamin got a hole in one

And Ryan got one on the last hole earniong him a free game!

and Paige, too! (which gave her teh winning score...she and I were tied before that)

Lauren hit the jackpot in teh arcade (Uncle Mikey bought them all some coins)

We take up a lot of seats :)

The whole gang!
