2011 Family Beach Trip

We met the whole extended family for a beach trip again this year. It was so much fun to hang out with cousins, grandparents and enjoy the beach and pools!

Wheels UP!

This summer we are tackling all bike riding fears. It all started when I ran over one of Ian's training wheels with the mini van. No turning back! He isn't in love with it yet and still very nervous about falling, but hopefully it will be smooth sailing soon. Natalie got a big girl bike for her 3rd birthday and has not looked back. She takes curbs and corners and handles it like a pro!

Kindergarden Graduation

Ian's school had a ceremony for all Kindergarden kiddos. It was sweet to see how proud all those little kids felt to get through their first year of big kid school. Dad took time away from work to be there as well as Nana and Papa. We ended the day with a cookie cake too :o)

Natalie Turns Three

Natalie had a great third birthday. Family came to visit from out of town, with gifts of princess bicycle and a fun charm bracelet among other very girlie things. We topped it all off with a YUMMY hello kitty cake. What more does a girl need???? Happy Birthday Natalie!

Easter Sunday

We chose to attend church services this Easter weekend on Saturday and have family over for brunch on Sunday. Good food, good crowd, lots of laughs including a bunch of plastic eggs filled with fortune cookie sayings (hey, why not!). The kids followed a trail of candy to find their baskets to start off the day. Later on, Natalie got to ride her new scooter. Our little girl turns three next week and she got to try out the wheels a little early. Look Ma, no hands!

Little Poses

Bitty Basketball

Ian started playing basketball at a local church league. They practice and then have a game immediately after, smart planning. There are many coaches on the court during games guiding the kids along and a lot of traveling going on. Its fun. Ian is on the green team, the dragonflies. Go Green Team!
