New Roof and Swing

Last summer we had a terrible storm come through with tons of hail. We noticed throughout the summer that a lot of homes were replacing their roofs so Josh called the insurance company and filed a claim to get our roof replaced as well. By the time we got everything situated, it was too cold to actually replace the roof so we did it a couple weekends ago. We are so very thankful for all of the help we received from Searles, Bobby, Gilland, Robbie and Dennis. It's nice to know we can count on our friends for such big projects...although they may not be volunteering again after that! The boys got started early Saturday morning and got old roof torn off and the new one on in 1 day! Sunday was spent cleaning up the mess... and boy what a mess it was.
Dennis, also known as Papa, hung up Isla's swing he bought her for Christmas and she swung in it for the first time. She is still a little small but we propped her up with some blankets and it must have been really relaxing because she fell asleep. We always look forward to the time we get to spend with our family and friends even if it involves some work!

Well maybe not working.....
No roof!

My 1st Baseball Game

University of Phoenix celebrated our 2 year anniversary at the Lenexa Learning center by going to a Royal's game. This was Isla's first game and Josh bought her some cute little Royal's onesies to wear...and even though they were a little big she was still supporting her local team. We met my friend Kimberly before the game and drove in together. She brought her daughter Piper and we hung out in the parking lot for a bit before the game and enjoyed some adult beverages! Isla did really well at the game and enjoyed looking at all the fun lights and people. It was nice to get out of the house and spend some time with my co-workers outside of work. I always think it's funny to see the people you work with in a professional environment everyday...cut loose if you will.

She may have slept through most of the game....
