Smoky Hill River Festival

As you all know, I am a Salinan through and through. Which means I am a HUGE fan of the Smoky Hill River Festival. This is the greatest gathering of folks in central Kansas. It is technically an "art fair" but we go to sit with our family and friends, listen to some great music, and eat some delicious, very fattening food! This will be Josh's first time going and unfortunately we are expecting rain all weekend... :( We will post pictures later!

AND, somehow I got convinced to run in a 2 mile race on Saturday with my cousin. I am not a runner. I do not pretend to be. However, when your adorable little cousin calls you and says, will you run with me?, you have to say yes. It's a rule. So, Josh got roped in too!

Wish us good luck...we'll need it!

Almost half way there...

Our new patio...

I LOVE IT!

Notice my beautiful new patio swing.

A gift from my amazing husband on our first anniversary!

It was exactly what I wanted! :)

And in case you haven't seen the big changes we've done
in our backyard, this is a (blurry) picture!

1 year together!

Our first anniversary...

Everyone says that your first year is the hardest. Josh and I are so thankful because if this was the worst year we'll have, we'll have smooth sailing for the next 50 years!

We did do the traditional eating of the top of the wedding cake. Not so good. Tasted stale...could have been how I "packaged" it. Or didn't.

Wedding Fun

Congrats Blake and Lindsey Iles!Our good friends got hitched this weekend! It was a beautiful ceremony on a gorgeous day! The reception was so much fun and we danced the night away. My feet were KILLING ME!
Josh got to be a part of his good friend, Blake's wedding by being an usher. This is a picture of the exclusive "USHER CLUB" that they formed. They had a blast...

Falcons at State

We did such a great job at the State Tournament. There was some really good competition this year which made it difficult to reach our goal of State Champs. However, we had awesome weather and lots of fans to cheer us on!

We lost our first game to Goddard, the #1 ranked 6A team in Kansas. It was a great game and our boys played hard. Congrats to the team, especially to our seniors!

WE ARE STATE BOUND! GO FALCONS!

After winning both games in Regionals on Monday, May 18th at Johnson County 3 & 2,
