Family Fun

Cole and I have been enjoying being back home and being able to make the rounds with family more often. Two weekends ago on 4/21, we used Drew's Aunt Kim being in town from Chicago as an excuse to have a family get together at the lake.
It's always so fun to have the cousins together. Per Kylee: 'Cole's getting teeth and I'm losing 'em!'

This past weekend we enjoyed more family time with a trip to the farm. Steph and Jeff were able to make it along with Pete and Ashley and Drew's parents of course. Gigi and Pop surprised Cole with a new swing for the farm. Cole loved it!

We were on the go all day Saturday. We turkey hunted, fished, antique shopped (which was quite successful), fished some more and barbecued. Great day at the farm. We enjoyed a girls-only fishing dock for awhile while Cole napped and caught some nice ones.

 Sunday morning I decided to catch another hour of sleep instead of hunt because Cole had decided he wanted to not go back to sleep until 3:40am. When the alarm went off at 4am I said thanks, but no thanks. Jeff and Pete came back with two nice Jakes. Woo hoo!! That's Steph and Jeff's puppy, Jet, helping. :)

We're also having fun with family working on the house. The littlest updates can be so rewarding. Here's Cole helping Grandpa after Jeannie and I ripped out the carpeted stairs.

 We're about 1/3 of the way through this deployment. Six more months until our family is complete!
