We had a great time at Brian's Union Dinner Dance... those electricians know how to PARTY!! He received his 5 year membership pin- can you believe there were men there who have been members for up to 60 years!!! And those retired members were the best dancers at the party!
I can't believe it was 84 degrees here yesterday! The Mommies were in charge of the kids and the food- and we had fun watching the crazy children play in the water! Apparently, Eva was in charge of the hose... and the water fight went on all around her! I tried to get her to look at me for a picture, but she was "doin' the water"!!!! 
I can't believe how much we got accomplished yesterday! Our guys, Ken, Eddie, and Pete, came over to help Brian put up our monster sized barn beam. They made it look easy, too! (All except when no one could reach anymore, and Brian lifted it by himself the last few inches up to the support that held it in place!!!)We even got the loft floor joists and the stairs in! Today we will put the floor in... and move everything from the driveway back into the barn!! We look a little trashy, with everything we own in the driveway!! Good thing we're not on a main road- or people would probably be stopping to try and buy stuff at our "yard sale"!!!!
Eva had a great time fishing at Auntie Martha and Uncle Tom's house on Thursday... of course, you can't really catch anything with a Mickey pole with a Sponge Bob bobber and no hook or bait!! She thought she was fishing though- and she's learning how to use the button and handle!
Boy what a project!! Brian got up this morning and decided that TODAY WAS THE DAY!!... as you can see from the photos- IT TOOK ALL DAY to build the new swing set- and it's not even totally done!
We lit the bonfire for the first time this season too...
Quite a smokey one...
... and pretty HOT too!
Eva thinks we should head right outside to "garden"- she loves wearing her new hat and gloves- ironically enough, she has the SAME EXACT set at Auntie Martha's house... I think the Easter bunny and Auntie "M" shop at the same Christmas Tree Shop!
Auntie Martha picked out a bunch of new belts for our non-diaper Eva- she can hardly hold her pants up with her lack of "padding"! (not to mention- we love ACCESSORIES!!!)
That's right... CHRISTMAS! Swimming in the hot tub, playing in the sandbox, fishing CHRISTMAS!
The kids had fun "swimming"...
...and playing... and getting their Christmas presents from Auntie Martha and Uncle Tom! They got these cool picture gift cards for Lowe's. The adults got to sit in the sun and have a drink and eat- and talk about NON-work stuff!
And BJ helped in the kitchen- Uncle Tom had A LOT of patience
HOLY COW... we actually went out to play without snow suits on today!!!!
The kids ran around like they'd just been "released"!
Eva is so funny when she's doing her hair... she's two and she DOES HER HAIR!!! It does keep her distracted long enough to get myself ready to go- so I guess it's not too bad!
And this (thanks goodness) was the hour drive back home after playing with all the Zink grandchildren all day! Eva is so funny with her "car" sunglasses... she has a pair in Grama's car and Auntie Martha's car- these are her princess dress up ones that she NEEDS for every trip. We keep them up in the glasses holder with Mommy's!
We had such a short visit that I forgot to take pictures! (That's not like me at all!) At least I snapped a few when we went over to the Zink's for Walter's (Walt's Dad) 80th birthday party...
...Eva was "Grama's Angel" in person for a few days!!
Eva is FOREVER playing dress up, with whatever she can find to put on!! Daddy's hat and Mommy's shoes are great accessories for her "Grama made" outfit- don't ya think???

Look at that FACE!!! What a cutie pie! (and proud, too!) Collin went on a fishing trip with Papa Walt and caught some sea trout for a fish fry!!
She insisted on sticking her tongue out for the pictures... she came over and put her hat on and said "take my pitch-
