April/May 2014

This was from our anniversary. We went to Carraba's. I got the best risotto I have ever had. Happy 9 years Andy!



I think this was Mother's Day. I made pineapple upside down cupcakes. Yum!



This is typical Simon. He throws everything out of the crib when he wakes up.



Abe did soccer for the first time! The weather was cold a lot of the time, but Abe made some new friends and had a lot of fun.



Fun at the zoo.









Baby jail.



Swim lessons.





Simon hanging out with me during Abe and Eli's lesson.



School is almost over! This is Abe waiting for the neighbors that we carpool with.



There was a Family Fun Night at Abe's school. It was fun for the kids to do the bounce house, get face paint and play some games. Eli was heart broken when he did the sucker game and didn't win.









Our boys with their buddies Gus and Finn.





Simon finally has hair! Sometimes he wakes up with amazing bed head.



I love these boys!



Abe, Eli and I had a fun time at Cedar Point! Andy stayed home with Si-Guy. Abe was not thrilled to be in this picture.


Sky Ride



Even though we went on a Saturday, and it was Memorial Day weekend we were able to do all the kid rides that we wanted to.



















Now that it is nice out we go to the park any chance we can get. Simon loves to swing!



This Memorial Day was one of the best I can remember. It was perfect weather outside. I did a 5k that I have wanted to do for eight years. We went to the parade downtown, played disc golf and played at the park, got Mr. Freeze, went for a bike ride, and had pizza and watched the second Hobbit movie with Ben and Becca. We are grateful to those who have served and continue to serve in the military for us.

5k with my friends Christina (and her baby Cecilia) and Kim.

My boys.



Picnic outside.







We spent a morning at Maumee Bay last week. We found a Nature Center we had never been to before. Abe loves butterflies, so he was excited to see this.



I didn't get very many good shots of Abe playing soccer. Here's the best I could do.





After the first soccer game Abe told me, "Mom, I am not very good at soccer." Unfortunately, he was right. He was far from the best on the team, but he didn't give up. I am so happy he stuck with it the whole month.
