What we've been up to

So I must end my blogging hiatus. In the last couple of months we've had lots of visitors and lots of fun, so I better post some pictures before I lose them. Let's see, so after Ben's mom and sister were here in March we got my friend Heidi and her son Jonah. I seem to recall that everyone was feeling under the weather at the beginning of the trip, but we managed to have some fun anyway. (Consider yourself forewarned: there will be a lot of pictures)

Kids playing at the fountains, always fun.
Heidi and Jonah at the bounce place.
We convinced Ben to watch the kids so we could go out to dinner and a movie with my friend Carrie.
A standard for visitors at our house: homemade wontons, yum.
At the end of Heidi's trip my dad come out for a bit. Heidi and I have known eachother since like 4th grade, so it was fun for her and my dad to get to see eachother briefly
When dad was here we had fun going to the beach-and since it's so far after the fact I'll only post one pic.
Sibling love.
Thanks for coming grandpa.
I think it was in May that Ben took Hunter to the father son campout...but I really don't remember. They had fun.
Hailey and I like to go on dates when the boys go camping.
One day I walked in Hunters room to find this...what a rock star.
These pictures don't really go together chronologically, but doesn't this seem like the perfect reaction??
At the end of May mom and Ken were here for a visit. The only picture I have from that trip is when we made Ken slave away helping Ben to refinish the table that has been in our garage for a year.
One day Kelly and I were a bit loopy and were showing off how we can still rock the side pony.
Some time during June my son took cross dressing to a new level. Ben is wondering if he has failed as a father.
We took another trip to the beach, this time with Kelly, Janalyn and their kids.

One day the kids matched for church so we tried to take some photos. Someone was fussing for most of them, so here's a decent one.

Ok, I'm done posting pics for today. Stay tuned next time for photos from our San Antonio trip, new baby cousin and my birthday.

I LOVED reading about your Taiwan trip, it looked amazing. I have offically added it to the long list of places I need to visit. Your kids are cute, my favorite pic was Hunter the rock star!

I have to say I liked the naked Hunter pic too!

Wow! You really did catch up! So fun to see all you've been up to. That's so cool you have been able to go to the beach a couple times in recent months. Next time I visit, can we go? Someday I'll get around to sending you all the pics from our trip down to see you. :)

Oh and I like your new background... it's very Amy Butler. :)

I'm glad you updated us on what you have been up to. Most of all, I think that the rock star picture was my favorite =)
