Uncle Steve and Uncle Jon come to visit!

Allie is explaining something...
Fun with Uncle Jon

Watching Uncle Jon's band on his phone
The girls love to wrestle each other

Uncle Jon got the girls a guitar...which they love playing and singing songs

Running and tackling the couch pillows
Reading with Uncle Steve
Aubrey caught a bug, which she named Buzz

Lexie takes a turn reading with Uncle Steve
The girls LOVED having their Uncles in town for the week!
Big strong Uncle Steve
Practicing handstands

Can the girl be any happier?

Off to a Brewers game with Grandpa Nelson and Uncle Steve


Life is good in the cheap seats!

We love Bernie Brewer!


Being a Sunday afternoon game, they let the kids run the bases afterwards
Aubrey had a little trouble rounding 3rd...good thing Miss Herring from Garden Homes is also a Bat Girl and was there to help her out!
Thanks for the fun time Uncle Steve!!

The backsplash goes up

LOVE the tile!! We went with a neutral Travertine tile after the ceramic ones that we picked out were out of stock. So happy with the results!




The dried-out basement and our new front yard

Some pictures of the basement...all dried out and ready to be rebuilt
A blessing in disguise...once the drywall and paneling came down, we saw how badly this wall was need of repairs



Watching the garbage truck come and pick up what was removed from the basement

A family effort to fix the grading in the front yard...first step in helping prevent a flood happening again in the basement
