Saturday fun in the sun...

After the cold day at the zoo last weekend it has been wonderful to have warm and sunshiney weather! Thankfully we had a beautiful Saturday that we got to enjoy as a family. The fun and the sun wiped the boys out - Levi went to bed early and Kyle is napping on our new overstuffed chair and ottoman as I write this. I'd say that's a sign of a good Saturday. (I will have to wake Kyle up so he doesn't miss the Pacers' game, though!).

This morning was the St.Vincent Kidz Marathon and our niece and nephew were running so we decided to head over to AU and cheer them on. It was HOT and muggy. It was fun to cheer them on see some people from work in a different environment.

After the race, we headed home and Levi took a nice, loooong nap. We had to wake him up so we could go to Jayce's first baseball game of the season.

While we were at the game Megan called and said she and Adelaide were going to come to Anderson. We decided to meet them at Shadyside (after some ice cream at Good's!). Levi and Adelaide are so funny when they are together. They get excited and keep saying each other's names. It is hard to get a good picture, though, as they are always on the move. I think we were there for almost 1.5 hours! That is a long time to run around in the heat for these kids.

Levi, Adelaide, and Reagan on the slides (it was a good thing there were 2!)

Our teeter-totter partners :)

Levi fell asleep on the short ride home but was awake as soon as we got him out of the car. There was still a lot of sunshine so we decided to get out our kiddie pool(s) and the slide and spend some time in the backyard. Levi didn't actually get into the pool but had fun splashing and enjoyed going up and down the slide. Kyle took advantage of our small shade tree and napped while Levi and I played.

Splish splash!

So fun!
(see Kyle napping? hehe)

Happy to be outside!

Climbing UP the slide...


So that was our busy but fun day outside in the sun. We are definitely looking forward to this summer and watching Levi play and learn how to do new things. It is amazing how much he is already doing and how he gets more brave (and more dare-develish) every day.

Happy weekend!

mother's day ...

It is hard to believe that this is already my second mother's day! Just wanted to send out a quick note with some pics from last year's mother's day and this year's mother's day. The difference is pretty crazy!

We got to spend the morning yesterday with the Kriebels at the Indianapolis Zoo, like we did last year. We took the same kinds of pictures and had a little more difficulty keeping the kids entertained. Their attention spans are slightly shorter :) Regardless of the much cooler weather and shortened attention spans, we had fun. Enjoy a few pics from yesterday and last year's mother's day weekend at the zoo!

 Almost had more fun at the playground than watching the animals :)

Happy Mother's Day! 
(does the sign look familiar?)
