Dave and Kay Visit!

Dave and Kay visited for a long weekend and we had so much fun! Bubble blowing, new wheels for Oak and Eli and lots of stored up hugs and kisses!

Brian's Birthday

Here are some pictures from our celebration!

 Eli's card for Popo... (which lead to lots of laughter!) and now we all have new nicknames: Momo, Popo, Ohko, AhOh, and EeOh. Eli made all those up. :)

 I decorated this. Can you tell what it is???

DC with Mom and Dad

Visiting DC was a great time for all of us. Here are a few pictures from this special time with Mom and Dad. DC cupcakes, Smithsonian Museum, Helicopter exploration, backyard fun and build a bear are just a few things we did. Lots of videos at the end! They are all short (less than a minute) so check them out!

Easter Celebrations

Easter morning meant an egg hunt! Followed by a hike at Bernheim forest and church in the evening with our community. Here are a couple videos of playing with the Easter basket toys and a picture of us at Bernheim.

Cabin trip in March

Here are a few pictures and a couple videos from our last trip to the cabin. This trip we were able to stay four days and three nights. The boys found all sorts of creatures (we did take the snake home...) and Brian worked on a couple building projects. Overall we got a lot of time hanging out together.

 We brought the computer to play movies for the boys during some afternoon down time.

 Our new pet appalachian snake. He eats worms - easy!

 Trying on Papa's boots!

 Coffee on the back deck - a favorite!

 Eli and the sling shot!

 Brian made the shelf here:

Oak pulling up!

Oak is 1

Oak turned 1 on March 22! Here are some pictures and three videos at the end.

Oak's birthday fell on a Thursday, so we celebrated by a stroller ride to Sunergos for a smoothie - strawberry with whipped cream! It was Oak's first. He usually just gets a bite of Eli or Otto's. 

 That evening we had family group at the Wallace's so I made a cake and we celebrated together!

 Then that evening we came home and opened gifts! It was a full and fun evening.

 On Saturday we had another small celebration with a couple of friends. Here Brian is decorating Oak's cake!

 The traditional icing in the mouth!
