Living Life!

As I have done before, I sat down to work on writing a blog update, and realized that I have not written anything for over a month! It's not that we haven't done anything fun or worthy of writing about, because we have! It's just that we have been too busy living life, for me to remember to write. This post is going to be a quick version of what our family has been up to for the past few weeks.

We have spent lots of time fishing and hiking, as Evan REALLY enjoys these activities. Preston has fun too, although he can't catch anything yet and just likes to play in the creek, throw rocks, etc. We have also spent quite a bit of time going on walks, playing at the playground, having family movie night, cheering for the U of L football team, etc. Evan has also learned to catch and throw a football and Preston has learned that he no longer needs his paci! Carl and I have had a few date nights and some time out with friends, which has been really nice. 

Here are a few pictures to illustrate our life for the past several weeks!

We went on the Urban Bourbon Trail with Devin and Eric! It was lots of fun, but we did miss Carol!

The Congleton family came to visit! We spent our day with the boys and of course, Evan chose to take everyone fishing! At night, John, Terri, Carl and I attended Brew at the Zoo. As always, we had a great time!

We had our annual Alpha Gam Couples' Weekend and we attended Downs After Dark. It was a pretty short visit, but we all had a great time!

Carl and I have been able to have a few date nights, which has been so nice! We definitely need to continue this, as we always have a great time!

Evan has FINALLY learned to blow bubbles! He is super excited, because he has wanted to be able to blow bubbles for so long and he worked so hard to be able to do it!

We have done LOTS of fishing! Carl and Evan usually get to fish, while Preston and I play around the creek. His newest game is, "Where's Preston!"

Can you find Preston? =)

The boys have had lots of fun catching toads. Preston loves them so much and often talks to them and hugs them! 

We have gone on lots of hikes! Evan likes to go the creek and catch minnows and crayfish! Preston likes to see everything that Evan catches, as well as throw rocks and play in the creek.

We have had fun cheering for the U of L football team, although they are not having a really great season and started the season with 3 losses. We do have some wins now though!

We have enjoyed going to the playground. On a recent visit, Evan caught a tiny frog!

We have enjoyed a few movie nights together, which is always a nice way to spend a weekend night.

Now that I am staying at home, Preston and I have some one on one time on the mornings when he does not go to preschool. We have lots of fun playing together, exploring, etc.

Special Delivery!

Preston really enjoys going to the playground, so we have visited several different ones.

My little engineer likes to build towers. Of course, he also likes to knock them down!

It's fun to explore the outdoors with Preston. He likes to climb the tree in our front yard, find cicada shells, etc.
