Mayday! Mayday!

Well the month of May went absolutely flying by in the Crouse Household...between working on the house, graduation, spending time with friends, Mother's Day...every weekend was jam packed.

Here's just a little peek-a-boo at what we were up to:

 
This side of our house still looked like winter


 
Whereas this side was starting to look like Spring!
 
 

 
Evie Lou supervised our outdoor work

 
And napped

 
And watched Thomas the chipmunk

 
Our family volunteered at Brady's pancake benefit


 
And the lake was still frozen...

 
And the flowers continued to grow....


 
We enjoyed happy hour outside for a change!

 
It was so much fun to see what all of the 'mystery plants' sprouting up all over our garden turned out to be!






 
The ice finally came off the lake!  And Joey got to fish :)

 
Warm nights meant bonfires

 
Tried a new furniture arrangement

 
Celebrated Mother's Day with my Mama

 
Set up our guest room

 
Had Joey's mom over for a Mother's Day cook out

 
Garage sale season officially got under way


 
Evie Lou napped

 
Began stripping wallpaper in our spare bedroom

 
A mystery plant grew in the garden

 
Grilled out as many nights as we could



 
Volunteered for team Brady's benefit at the local bowling alley


 
The mystery plant grew some more


 
Joey spent a busy afternoon hanging new light fixtures

 
Out to or favorite happy hour spot

 
Enjoyed beautiful sunsets from our deck

 
Jill made wind chimes

 
Evie Lou wasn't so sure about the added noise





 
We headed to Bethel to celebrate Jon's graduation from college






 
Spent a night out with some fantastic friends


 
More garage sale finds

 
Hosted my first open house in this beauty!


 
Joey put the dock in and fished some more!

 
Evie Lou napped

 
 
It was a whirlwind of a month!  We are so absolutely blessed to be surrounded by such fantastic friends and family.
