So I think I fixed the photos on my phone and have space on it to take more photos- and maybe even download some apps:)  So the photos are light from this week- but wait till next - ha!

Friday Night we went to a BBQ at WPI Alum's house- a small but wonderful group.  SO fun that they are starting to have download some apps:)  So the photos are light from this week- but wait till next - ha!

We went to Canaan for the weekend!  New sand for the sandbox!

I ran around the lake!  yes its true.  I can't believe it myself.  But i did it.  The view from  about half way around.

And I really made it back!

We were the only ones at the park on Wednesday.  Here Isaac is helping Sam down the hill to the sandbox.  Very sweet moment.

Our good friends invested in a brand new play structure and Nate helped set it up- for a DAY and it took a whole day more to actually finish it!  My kids have already had a blast on it so I can't imagine how much fun the kids who live there have had :)

I have been working out more often but that Wednesday I couldn't get up early to do my work out (I stayed up to see the finale of DWTS- Go Rumor!) so I went for a long run when i got home (thanks Nate for encouraging me to do this!) and go to see amazing views!  I am only sad its taken me this long to take more advantage of where we live.  And that my phone was about to die- this does NOT capture all the beauty I saw on my run.

Hanging out while the Dads are building.

Sancktime at our favorite place- the Amherst Family Center with our favorite friends.  Yes they are all girls!  haha.

Tuesday afternoon we hung out with friends and got to go on the coolest walk through the woods to the park and then enjoyed popcorn together- yum!

Hanging out at Dawn's house- should we sign him up for lessons?

While Nate was away with his college buddies over the weekend, I went to my parents house so I could go to PaintNite with my sister and then visited her church on Sunday morning.  During coffee hour Sam saw Liz's crossed legs as the place to make himself comfy.  He got up and made himself cozy.

PaintNite 3 year party!

Watching a movie at Grandma's while Mom went out on the town.

Friday night was a free safety event at UMASS.  FREE FOOD which included hot dogs, cotton candy and italian water ice.  SO glad I went!

Getting ready for school- gotta stop and get our shoes on

Our friend Laura was locked out of her place last week so she biked over and hung out with us till she could get back in.  She LOVES our kids and I am so thankful.  Here she is teaching them to make dandelion crowns.

Riding the trucks down the hill at Groff

Soccer Practice!  I think Isaac is in the middle with a green jersey on.

Our friend Gianna was helping Sam work on his skills.

Mother's Day afternoon we hung out with the neighbors in their new pool.

Sporting my new vintage Beebe sunglasses.

There is now a construction site in our front yard.

Snack time at a playdate.

And TV time.

End of Year Navs Picnic 2015

We had a great turnout for our end of year Navs BBQ this year!  We have grown which is just so fun:)  We had lots of good food- and games!  Including a piñata!  And WONDERFUL weather.
