Beautiful weather!

We've had beautiful weather lately and so much time outside- playdates at the park with friends and hanging out in our backyard playing in the water - I love that the boys love being outside (when it's warm of course!)
Kayden and his friend Dylan playing...

We found this cool little "bridge" laid out over the stream and Kayden decided he wanted to walk across it - quite the daredevil but he did it...many times!

Thank you for a great time Grandma and PopPop - we are looking forward to next year's picnic!

The boys made me some nice Mother's Day gifts at daycare =) love them!

Texas Trip 2012

We just got back from our trip to Texas and we had such a great time! It was nice to see family and friends and celebrate my girlfriend's upcoming baby girl at her baby shower!

We also got to hang out with our friends and the boys got to play with their buddy, Braylon.

We stayed at my dad's house for the weekend and it was so nice to spend time with him and his family - as always, they were the best hosts - thank you for a wonderful time!!
The boys loved playing with Grandpa Ken and Laura!

Kayden decided that he wanted to ride the "big boy" bike at my dad's house that did NOT have training wheels on it....we weren't so sure but he set his mind to it and practiced over and over again until he got it! This kid continues to amaze me!!

We got to go watch one of Brandon's baseball games and Kayden thought that was super cool - might have also been the ring pop that Laura bought for him! :)

My brother's friends were gracious enough to let us come spend the day at their pool to celebrate my birthday! That was one of the best birthdays - poolside with drinks and my family there! :) We had such a great time!
