Newport Heart Chase

Chris, Evelyn, and I joined team "Hau you doin'" with the Feys to compete in the Newport Heart Chase fundraiser for the American Heart Association.  The event is described as Minute to Win It meets the Amazing Race with lots of fun obstacles and ways to earn points.  Although we didn't win, we had fun!

 
 There were some funny obstacles!

Memorial Day Weekend, a Weekend to Remember!

We started off our Spring/Summer with an AWESOME weekend!!  We could not have asked for more fun with neighbors, friends, and family.  

Evelyn has never had a popsicle or fudgesicle, but I found a recipe on Pinterest and decided to give it a try.  All I can say is that it is such a good thing we gave this to her outside...no explanation needed!
 Kids always take time to stop and smell the "roses"
 LOVING it!!
 
 Chocolate kisses for Nick :)
 "Must. get. every. last. drop!"
 There are no words...
 On Friday night we had an impromptu bon fire, s'mores and drinks.  With 33 neighbors showing up, I'd say it was a success!! 
 We love our neighbors!
On Saturday, we headed up to Chris's family's house for lunch.  It was a gorgeous day, and Evelyn loved exploring the garden and pond with the gold fish!
 Grandma and Grandpa have a beautiful fish pond with lots of flowers and vegetables; Evelyn was enjoying it just like the rest of us do each summer :)
 
 Evelyn discovered Grandma and Grandpa's strawberry patch.  She had no need to wash the strawberries, she was eating them faster than I could take the stems off!

This weekend, Chris took some time to wash and wax his car, and Evelyn had to help of course!
 We took a break to watch a butterfly.

 We ended our three-day weekend with my side of the family at the playground at Lunkin.  We had a picnic lunch, and the kids were able to run around and have fun at the park!

Celebrating Katie and Baby McHugh!

I wanted to celebrate my sister having her third baby, but she made me promise that I wouldn't throw her a sprinkle; so instead I planned a fun girls day with mom, Mrs. McHugh, Katie, and Liliana.  We started off at the spa getting manicures and pedicures.  After getting pampered, we headed over to Season's 52 where we had a fantastic lunch followed by cute little desserts.  I hope you had a wonderful girls' day, Katie!  We can't wait to meet your new baby boy!
Raspberry Lemonade Spritzer, yum!!
 The girls at lunch :)
Lunch isn't complete without dessert!
