Family fun







What a great spring it has been! Can't believe how fast time flies. We spent a Saturday morning recently at the local farmer's market. But we first stopped by Chick-fil-a for a healthy breakfast before browsing the organic fruits and veggies :)
There was an adorable daddy/daughter team selling their homemade cheese so we bought some delicious cheese curds!


There have been some crazy tornadoes lately. Fortunately we haven't had any damage here. The latest scare was on a Tuesday night. The news was saying it could be as bad as the one that hit Joplin. So Matt and I packed up and headed to the safest building at the Walmart home office and watched the weather channel in a safe spot. We got home around midnight. Lil was pretty confused.


My cousin, Matt, got married in Little Rock this past weekend. It was a fun trip and the wedding was beautiful! Lilly did well. Here she is in her usual wedding spot - in daddy's lap with a sippy!
We made our first trip to Whole Foods!! After much hype from our friends we thought we should check it out. It was super neat. Tons of great food and neat drinks. We got some bottled green teas, blue corn tortilla chips, honey roasted peanuts, dried figs, and blueberry wine!

Still enjoying our weekend dates. We haven't actually had the chance to go on a date without Lilly, but hopefully we can do that soon. It was a good change this weekend to go to Bella Vista for some Dairy Queen. They make an awesome German chocolate brownie blizzard! Then we walked on one of the trails. Lilly was smiling and squealing the whole time. It was super cute.


Memorial day was spent with our friends and their kiddos in their back yard. It's so fun to watch them play and enjoy the sunshine. We all went down to the neighborhood pool, too. It's supposed to be heated but it wasn't! The water was ice cold! We had Lil all decked out in swimsuit, swim diaper, hat, and sunscreen for about 10 minutes of pool time. Matt lowered her legs in and at first she didn't know what to think. Then she realized how cold it was and cried and pulled up her legs. Not a pleasant first pool experience! I bet she'll do better at the beach this summer!
She's trying decide what to think about grass...


Stopping by to see Uncle Will at work
Her new pirate face

First trip to Hobby Lobby
Story time
First experience petting a dog. This face pretty much sums up the experience:
We are still loving reading Crazy Love for lifegroup. I am also doing my first Beth Moore bible study and it's awesome!
Matt celebrated his 3 year Walmart anniversary last week. I am so thankful for his job and very thankful that he works so hard for us. He is appreciated at work as well; he was recently promoted! Woo hoo!
