Spring

Climbing trees, Easter egg hunts, sandbox, baseball, and just having a fun time together!

Matthew's birthday

Matthew turns 5

We had a great day today celebrating Matthew's birthday. Between baseball practice, painting with a friend, pizza lunch, Mexican dinner complete with sombrero and a dinosaur cake, it was a wonderful birthday and my favorite part was when he stopped and out of nowhere looked up at me and gave the thumbs up and said, "Mom, fun birthday."

Schweitzer

Our annual trip to the mountains was so fun again this year. Matthew spent a day skiing with Clint and we had the chance to relax and hang out with great friends!

Father and Son

Playing football is probably is probably their favorite activity together and I finally caught some pictures of the two of them.

Grace's birthday

We celebrated our little girl's third birthday with a princess cake, upon request. I did my best and I think she liked it. Of course a birthday would not be complete in this family without a trip to a mexican dinner!

Christmas

Oops, wrong order, but I found some more pictures of Christmas this year. Love our little Snow White!

Christmas 2009

We headed out to cut down our tree again this year, and had a wonderful Christmas with our families.

Kallenberger wedding and Thanksgiving

Pumpkin Patch 2009

Wow it's been a long time since I posted pictures or wrote anything on here. So here are some pictures from the pumpkin patch this year. The kids wore their costumes and had a great time!!

My Little Artists

With this great weather, we moved the painting easel outside, so I wouldn't stress out about the mess. The kids were so excited and blew through the paper and paint like crazy. I have a stack of about 50 paintings that I have no idea what to do with. These pictures, in Matthew's words, are "Me and Daddy riding on a giraffe." and, "Me and Daddy and a beanstalk and a sun."

Summer Heat

With record temps around here, we've had to get creative to find ways to stay comfortable and of course, entertained. We went through hundreds of popsicles during the last few weeks, even found a local place that sold REAL Hawaiian Shave Ice and visited our friends who live on the beach. It's in the distance, but here is a picture of Matthew's first fishing trip with our friend, Mike. They were out in the canoe for over 2 hours on the 100+ degree day. Best place to be, probably.
