A little more

The kids love to stand at the back door when Dave comes home.


















They took a little nap on our rainy bike ride.












The bike ride. Okay, I can't figure out how to delete the next duplicate.... and I'm too tired to figure it out. :) Just check out the last, very kissable, picture.





















Fun at our new home

A Katelyn/Mommy family drawing. Katelyn was in charge of telling me what color of clothes everyone needed to wear. For example, Daddy should NOT wear pink shoes. You can see that they are now green.












Loving playing in the tent of balls












Family room picnic. A definite favorite.












The two girls.












All of Katelyn's friends lined up for a good time. About a minute later, she had them all laying down for nap time. So cute.

The best day ever!

Friday turned out to be the most incredible day ever! What happened???

Dave got a job with Monavie!!

We can't even describe how thrilled we are and how incredibly blessed we feel. This has not been an easy road over the past two years, but we have learned so much and are more excited that we know how to feel that we're moving on to the next step of life. YESSSSS!!! We know that we are being watched over and feel very grateful. If you want more details... e-mail one of us and we'd be happy to fill you in. Way to go Dave for surviving so long and holding out for a wonderful job!

A perfect day

What a perfect day today. We went to Tucano's with the four of us and my brother, Trevor. It was so fun and so good. MMMmmmmm! And then, Dave and I took the kids to the Tulip Festival. What a perfect day to be outside and enjoy the flowers. I just loved it, but I'm a nature lover. I could live in the mountains and be happy forever. The Festival wasn't in the mountains, but it was so refreshing to be in such a beautiful place with gorgeous tulips and daffodils everywhere. I love the Spring! Here's some pictures of our day. :)













Looking good Ethan!! Can you say Elvis?



































































































My sweet little Katelyn wanted to give me a present for my birthday today. When Dave asked her what she wanted to give me... a balloon!! She got to pick it out, so now I have the cutest Care Bear balloon. Thanks Katelyn!! What a perfect present from my sweet baby girl.

Happy Birthday Ethan!

Ethan is 1!! I can't believe it. We had so much fun at his first ever birthday party. We invited the Hoth's and the Price's and had a great time eating great food and celebrating our little Ethan. He has developed the funniest little personality so we just love to watch him to see what he'll do next. He's almost walking by himself, but in the meantime is constantly up and about, exploring the world. His favorite corners are the vacuum closet, the bathroom drawers (particularly, the bag with Katelyn's elastics) and anything that can be pushed around.

With the help of Katelyn he's learning to say "eeeeeeee!" (cheese!) Oh, I just love this cute little guy!


















When I saw this cake, I knew it was the perfect one for him. He's our little monkey. He's curious. He loves to climb. And he loves to smile. (Except in this picture. :) )












He's thinking about it... but with so much attention, he never really dived in. I must have trained him to well with good manners. :)












He got a little more into it with his cousin Daniel. He's 6 months older and knows the real way to eat cake. Hi boys!
