Front Porch Sessions!

During quarantine I noticed several people getting pictures made from a distance showing how they have been at home!  Well, of COURSE on the day that we had ours scheduled we had 30 million people in the cove (riding bikes, skate boarding, yard work and talking), we also had the roofing company here fixing things they had missed and my oldest boys were NOT happy about everyone watching us!  Can I insert eye roll?  They turned out better than I would have thought with all that confusion, but as I say "confusion is my middle name!"   These pictures show, Brian's burly beard and long hair, the boys also need a hair cut and my roots need some professional help! 


 Brian is constantly saying "No, you don't need a snack, but I need you to clean UP these Cheerios that are everywhere!"  I'm always in the need of a glass of wine!   Pierce is constantly asking to get on SOME electronic and Reid is saying "If I just had the hot glue gun and packing tape I could make X, Y and Z"!!!    Whew!!!!


 When Molly drove up to do our pictures, Reid was out blowing off the sidewalk, as Brian had told him to do!  She asked if he could put it back on!  I think these are the best!!!  
2020, you have been a show and a 1/2

CAKE!!!!!!!


Happy Mother's Day! 2020

 Trail riding .... 
 Flowers!
and picnic lunches were the BEST!!!

Trails and Swim Suits!!

 We got our new swim suits from Gaga and Poppy in the mail!  They were so excited!  They do this for us every year from Easter!  :) 
 The boys have been working hard building trails in OUR back yard so they can ride trails EVERY day!!!  


BackPack

Reid made his own backpack while in this quarantine time!   I do think that the memory I will have most of him, is him saying "So, if I could just get the hot glue gun and the package tape, I think I could make" a, b and c.   ha!

frozen Popsicles!


Neighbors!

During this time, we have become closer to our neighbors, had more time for bike rides and walks, and visits!  All while trying to social distance!  ha! 
 This was us getting ready for our neighbor Kate's `10th birthday parade!!
