Kyle's 5th birthday party!

Kyle is in the super hero phase right now. He requested a cake with these 3 guys on it...he loved it!


Elizabeth enjoyed herself at the party too. We are lucky to have families with friends the same age as our kids. They both had a blast playing with their friends. Dave and I also enjoyed seeing our friends and of course watching the kids laugh and play!






































The party area. The girl in the blue shirt was our "party coordinator" We had 27 kids total! Lots of crazy fun~!
























I tried to get pictures of everyone....I don't think I met my goal. Needless to say, the kids didn't sit still much!









































I love this one of Elizabeth and her friend!












Kyle was "helping" to get the icing off of the superhero cake toppers!








A few presents?????





Elizabeth did very well watching Kyle open ALL of his presents. I think the candy necklace from the goody bag helped!!!



We had a blast celebrating Kyle's 5th birthday with everyone. We are so looking forward to being able to celebrate with our southern family members!!!!!!

Swimming and fun play date!

Kyle began swimming lessons 2 weeks ago. As you can tell from the picture...he LOVES it! He smiles the entire time and has no hesitation with the water. We also noticed he has been a very good student, listening to the instructor and being patient for his turn!
We found a new indoor mini-golf set up at Linvilla. This is a great treat. We really enjoy visiting the farm there, but it is tough in the winter. Their new activity allows us to play and get some treats at the farm market too!
We met Wendy, Ali and Jill for our fun morning!






























One of the MANY videos I took of the swim lesson!
