Go Pacers & HBD, Kathy!

I had the craziest, busiest Saturday and it was so much fun. First, I hit Reforming Indy for a Pilates class (per doctor's orders) which really stretched me out and felt SO good. Then, I met my dear friend Amber for brunch at Brunchies in Carmel. It was really good and reasonably priced, check it out!

Kortnee's husband needed to be in the field planting (he's a farmer, you know) so I stepped in for him and hit the Pacers playoff game with the family. It was so fun and exhausting all at once.
SL loves popcorn!
Spot the bald spot? That's Andrew Luck!
Our seats were awesome!

That evening we celebrated the 43rd anniversary of Kathy Coomes' birth!!
I made her a strawberry shortcake
Ready for cake!
ME: "DO NOT CLOSE YOUR EYES."
THEM: *SEE ABOVE*
That's better!

And totally unrelated, but still adorable, is this photo I got from my Mom of little puppy Emmie "helping" to mow the lawn! 
I wish she would stay this little!!

Lots of babies!!!


Making lasagna
Jackson made his first lasagna for all of our baby-having friends. It was pretty darn good! We then spent an entire Saturday delivering the goods (plus some stuff I'd baked) and then finished with an evening in Upland visiting the puppy, Emmie.
CASE!

The best kinds of thank you notes are videos from Sir Liam!! :)

Mac and Emmie

Up to no good!

I could not decide on a car to replace my totaled Volvo so we got Jackson a new car instead. (Insert comments about how unfair life is here. HA!)
Jackson's new ride!

We also got the chance to catch one of Grace's lacross games when she played in Zionsville. The team has gotten much better!!! She is just so cute, too!

I've found lots of reasons to go over and snuggle with baby Cameron Bates. I just love him!

His big sister keeps us laughing! She is such a fun girl!!

Notice the different outfits. I seriously make food for Shaya and then go play with her kids!! I have no shame. :)

Finally, MacKenzie got a haircut and looks adorable!

New fireplace!

We are almost finished with our renovations list thanks to this project's completion. The fireplace was refaced and it looks awesome. We used the same tile on it as we did for the back-splash in the kitchen and it looks awesome! Thanks to our friend Jason Mitchell for his work on the install. 
MacKenzie loves demo day!
Demo went smoothly
FINISHED
WE LOOOOOVE how this looks! We also could not be happier that the townhouse renovations are almost complete. We bleed money and sweat into this place!!
