We were able to take in Rachel's graduation. Can't believe she's out of high school...being the smart girl she is, she's headed here to be a BOBCAT!

Zach (14 mos) & Coy(7 mos)...I think Zach better be nice to his 'little' cousin! :)
Mandy & her kiddos came and spent some time with us too so Ben got to catch up with his cousin Jace.
Gabi, Jace, Ben & Zach - I think the 2 in front could take their big brothers!
Gramma got lots of snuggling in.
Cowboy?
Ben got to help Grampa mow the lawn.
We even got Amanda's little Jace for a day...Zach's birthday buddy!
Playin a little hoops.
Chillin on the deck of the playhouse - they're either squinting or not impressed with the photo interruption!
Zach swinging with Gramma.
Lots of miles were put on the 4 wheeler!
Gramma has the best tupperware cupboard huh Zach!

Dad helping coach.
Zach and his Kenna.
The park out at the softball fields was made in memory of our sweet Tate.
Kenna, Coach Annie & Abby
Sorry Abby...he's an awnry one.
Ben missed his girls!
I think this was a collapsed hug...or a Kenna dogpile.
We stopped by Cory & Annie's and got a few marshmellows roasted.
Yes, swinging is the best!
Gramma & Grampa's new playhouse!
Grace & Ben serving up some burgers for Uncle Bill.
The head table...Grace, Ben, Abby & Ella
Gavin & Zach...it's tough being the little guys...let us out!
