We've had a great weekend!! Friday was fantastic as we celebrated Bob & Lea one last time before their wedding. We were officially donned "married couples" as Bob noted after standing around with drinks and chips, chatting together--- being married people. ha! We grilled out, played cornhole, opened gifts, passed around baby Isaak, drank around the fire pit and ended with a few rousing games of Win, Lose or Draw, where the girls creamed the guys!
Yesterday, Mike and I celebrated the Colbster's 5th birthday with the Mayers. We quickly realized we were the only people there without children. Then Mike jumped in the bouncy house to rough house with the five year olds, and we realized that we are the children. :) We had so much fun! Mike and I also got to try out the new Wii video game system, which was a riot! At one point he and Brad Sabelhaus were on their knees, boxing at the air. A seven year old had to drag them away from the game to sing to Colby.
It was wonderful to catch up with Kevin & Jen! Here are a few favorites from the Mayer house...
Colby (right) thinking hard about his wish.
Us with Averi and Colby. Aren't their kids BEAUTIFUL?

Long time, no blog!
So, we've been MIA on this blogging thing! I've been working 60 hour weeks for the last few weeks, and prior to that was preparing for these weeks of events. It's been crazy, and it's only going to continue!
Easter was so much fun at the Campbell house--- All three girls, one boyfriend, one husband and the parents spent the weekend together. Mom made us Easter baskets one last time (dad has decided no more Easter baskets, but we'll see if that sticks).
So Easter ended and we celebrated Rachel's graduation from college! She's officially a graduate of IWU and hoping to go to med-school in the fall. We're still waiting to hear where, but she'll probably end up in either Pennsylvania or IU Med. She's such a rockstar and a brilliant girl, we have no doubt God has great things in store for her!
Now, May is here! We are staring down the barrel of 8 weddings this summer.... We had the pleasure of Bob & Lea's fine cooking two weekends ago and spending an evening sampling champagnes for their wedding, which is in just a week and a half!! We can't wait to celebrate with them, then Sarah Hummel and Paul and then Jacki & Sean.... three weekends in a row!
Beside weddings, Mike and I have done an overhaul on our yard. It was beautiful to begin with, but it now has a decorative red brick retention wall around the gardens, a new beautiful layer of mulch, no weeds, some serious trimming, and pretty pink hanging baskets on the porch. Pictures will need to follow! We've worked our butts off and are quickly learning the joys and pains of home-ownership.

This weekend the Clems and we are throwing a party for Bob and Lea to celebrate their engagement. Following that, we're celebrating Colby's 5th birthday Spiderman-style on Saturday! Next week I'm jet setting off to LA for two days. Then, come the 30th I'm turning the big 2-4!
Life is good, God is wonderful, and we're happy as clams to be enjoying it together!!
