Finally...a new post!

It seems like I go a long time between posts these days. Things have been so hectic lately that blogging has just been on the back burner. There has been so much going on but I think that things are going to start settling down around here so hopefully I can get back to doing regular posts. We have been busy making some great changes on the house (by 'we' I mostly mean Justin) and I'm super excited to post the pictures about them, but first I'd actually have to take the after pictures - so that will have to wait.

For now, I'm going to post the rest of the pictures from our VT trip. These are mostly of our fun with Missy, Chase, and Enoch. We miss thes guys so much. It was great to be able to see them when we went back and hopefully we'll see them again soon.
Justin and Chase digging in to Justin's graduation cake. Missy and Chase were so nice to throw Justin a little graduation party. They really are the best!
These boys had such a great time together. I think they were dirty almost the whole week. It's so nice to see boys being boys!

We had such gorgeous weather while we were in VT that it was perfect for water fights and running through the sprinklers!

Chase and Missy have a big hole in their backyard and there is nothing that will attract little boys more than a big hole! The boys loved to throw things in it. The longer we visited, the bigger the items got. I was pretty impressed with this.
Noah misses Enoch. It makes me sad sometimes when Noah asks if Enoch can come over. I wish he could.
Another fun boy pasttime. Playing in your underwear. Love these boys!
Of course, Josie was able to get a little messy herself!
We tried to take an official 'Team Smithersen' picture. Apparently it's more difficult to take a good picture of the team than it is to take a picture of a group of toddlers!
Justin and Chase didn't like standing so far apart.
Missy and I getting squished.
This is more like it! I am the Queen of 'Team Smithersen' (and everyone else in the team would do well to remember that)!
Finally, success!

So that was our trip to Vermont. I am starting to really like it here in Indiana but there are definitely things that I miss about VT everyday (Petersen's and Zinke's are at the top of that list FOR SURE).

Stay tuned...I am going to try to be more consistent with my blogging and up next - home improvements!!
