Lately

 

Lately,

we've been up to lots of fun.

I haven't blogged much from the spring

so this is a quick catch-up.

This is what we've been up to

lately...

 

Making sushi at home.

Its super fun and

super yummy!

 

 

 Crista loves sushi just as much

as Jake and I do

but we rarely allow the kids

to join us on our "Sushi Date Nights".

She loves making it at home,

staying up a little late

and crashing our date!

 

Addie Grace isn't too fond of sushi {yet}.

So we make her

peanut butter and jelly sushi instead.

 

 

Lately,

we've been enjoying the outdoors

as much as possible

before it gets too hot.

We love exploring family land

and seeing what treasures we can find.

 

A massive hornet's nest.

Uninhabited, thankfully!

 

We found a mess of turnips growing.

They sure made some good eating

that night!

 Lately,

we enjoyed Easter at our church.

Its one of my favorite times of celebrating

in the church!

 

And afterwards we had a good old fashioned

Easter egg hunt!

 

We

(Uncle Marcus and I)

had no mercy on the kids

and hid the eggs pretty well.

The kids are expert finders, though,

and only needed help finding

the hardest hid eggs.

 

Lately,

the girls have been going back and forth

between playing

"Aunt Addie" (house)

and Princess dress-up.

I love watching their imaginations in action!

 

Lately,

we finished up our second year of CC

and ended the school year with a huge celebration

at the local park.

There were lots of games, food and grins that night!

We are so blessed to be a part of such a wonderful

homeschooling community!

 



 

Lately,

the girls have been enjoying their new trampoline.

They've also been enjoying lots of fun time with friends.

They've also been enjoying lots of fun times with friends

ON

their new trampoline! 

Lately,

we were able to celebrate Mother's Day

over at the Pond House.

It was glorious.

And hot. 

 

We found a large patch of wild blackberries

ready for picking

over at the Pond House.

We had a fun afternoon filling up our container

with juicy berries!

Enough for a yummy batch of blackberry jelly!

 

Lately,

we've felt incredibly blessed.

We are enjoying this phase of life

very much with the girls

and look forward to many summer adventures!
