bday time

Tammie [as always] went all out to make the cake this year for the boys. As you can tell Matthews train love is still going strong.

Getting set up for the bday party at the Splash Park

Matthew and nathan guarded the drinks
Nathan did not make it all the way to the end of the party, he had too much fun.

Matthew is getting the pool ready for the summer.


We went to the fair in town, and Matthew found his favorite part

and more bouncy fun

Early Days of Summer

Matthew really likes the trailer and wants to drive Nathan around...more to come on that shortly....

First trip to the Splash Park...prepping for our birthday party in a few weeks!

Lots of sand! Only a little in the mouth on on the face, relatively!

See, when you get older you can get even more sand (and even less in the mouth :-)...

Memorial Day

Bethany may have the best backyard ever!! Here are some of the older boys enjoying the meery-go-round (powered courtesy of dad) on Memorial Day!

Man, that merry-go-round is fun!

Chase on a trampoline, does it get any better?!?!?

Some random brother bonding time...you know they love each other since they share food :-)

May Naps and Safety Checks

A quick safety check for kitty before we head off! This is midly easier to talk Matthew out of than his decision to wear kitty on his back while buckling himself in!

We went to aunt Carrie's shower and Matthew thought sleeping on the couch was fun...he stayed like this for hours! Good times were had by all!

More napping....this time Nathan at the gym...comfy!!

One happenin' dude! Big smile and the hockey gap already!

Catch-Up May

Just some cute pictures--

More exhaustion. Matthew, never really that in to stuffed animals, is clearly a fan of 'Kitty' who travels with the family nearly everywhere!

Getting out in the early days of summer...my, how they are flying by!

The second generation chillin' in the drive...

Your first view of the bike trailer!! Trust us when we say there are more fun shots to come...

More May Fun

We are trying to get caught up...it will never happen, but here is our attempt :-)

As you can see, it was exhausting (and super-fun)...

...with plenty of time outdoors...

...soaring to new heights....

...and having fun with the family :-)
