May Update

We decided that life wasn't crazy enough with being quarantined and remote working and learning that we decided to move. We'd been thinking about it for a long time, but hadn't done anything to serious about it. Then in one day, Trav saw a new house come on the market, we toured it at lunch, put in an offer by dinner (one of many on the house), and had our offer accepted. So May among all its craziness was also getting ready to move and put our house on the market. 

Sometimes ninja warriors crash and need naps too 



He's been in a jersey phase so he wore Trav's old track uniform around for a couple days


So happy when he got to get his letter in the mail from his friend at school. He asked every day after that if he was getting more mail. 


Thre first 5 pictures were all Garrett so here's one of Bryant and his pup



Bryant is big into baking and making his own recipes. He drew up this one where he had frozen cups of ice and then you would have powder in one and pour warm milk over it


Mining for crystals in the front yard


Bryant made this dessert all by himself and called it smores. I was a little nervous to try it but it was delicious! It had marshmallows (frozen, chopped, and melted), white chocolate, sprinkles, icing, chopped robin eggs and probably more that I can't remember. It sounds very sweet but it was quite a delicious little bite sized snack! 


He had a class project to make a bird's nest... isn't his amazing

Just kidding... that was a real bird's nest... not sure why my pictures got out of order, but the next picture is his bird's nest or mud mess




Grandma and Grandpa returned from being snowbirds and we went to visit them after their quarantine was over. The boys enjoyed flying grandpa's airplane


Oh my and Bryant had quite the snaggletooth going and would purposely smile to show it...



We left town and couldn't believe it, but saw an ice cream truck driving the back roads of Whitehall so you know we pulled over for a treat! 



Painting rocks



Bryant has a big glue gun and made a boat (that floats!)


While packing, we found Garrett's hat that he wore as a baby


And made our own paper hats


We went to lunch at the causeway and it was taking forever. Garrett ended up having a meltdown... and then an accident while Travis was holding him. So we got our lunch to go and commemorated the "fun" outing with a picture with the two wet boys... don't they look thrilled? 


Making their own dinner. Garrett opted for peanut butter and jelly sandwich


Bryant opted to make chicken and waffles. He dredged his own chicken and made his own sauce. I again was nervous to try it and again he surprised me that it actually tasted really good! 




Go figure right before we move, we make good friends with the neighbors. Our boys had so much fun playing with their kids and they would ask to play at each other's houses every day. We hung out Friday night and enjoyed marshmallows by the fire


And the boys crashed on their couch


Bryant's been trying to be a big help around the house with chores and he really wanted to help paint the deck railing. He was so excited and was soaking up all the advice Travis gave him


More cooking adventures... the boys had free reign in the kitchen while I worked. They always left a ton of dishes but it also gave me time to work.  This time Garrett made pie salad. This was after he walked in with a plate of bread sliced into strips (or as he called them "fries" and said "nailed it". I couldn't quite stomach the pie salad... bread, jelly,  and lots of salt


Bryant, on the other hand, made croutons and then some mini pb&j sandwiches with the croutons. Again... quite tasty
