Speaking Spanish

Last night we had a funny experience. As I say, never a boring moment. Ever since Brad has had his "Mexican help", he comes home speaking new words, phrases, etc. So, Gavin knows the word "Hola." Well, now Taten knows it. Brad and I listened as Taten repeated the word over and over again, laughing hysterically. I guess our family is becoming "bilingual." Ha! :o)
Gavin absolutely needed his goggles and so here are some fun pics. I had to edit to make them "family friendly." Ha!
"I'm swimming for my life!!"
Saturday, we went to Junior Sports 101 and Taten was good as gold. It was a Christmas Miracle!!
Gavin and Ethan are hanging out. They're best buds!

More Photos from Indy


Had to show more photos. Gavin, Taten, and Ethan climbed a tree house, searched for more fossils, and hung out long enough to give us a pose for the camera. You all have to get there. The "Dinosphere" exhibit is amazing! :0) They were worn out when we got back and so were the moms. We're recuperating today. Hope you all had a wonderful Easter. I know we did.

Day at the Museum

Just hangin' out with George. We had a blast at the Children's Museum in Indianapolis. What a day. There were 5 floors of amazing exhibits, places for kids to play, and places to wind down.
One of the favorites was the huge train exhibit on the lower level. We spent at least an hour on that level alone.










Blastin' off in George's rocket!!

Catching Up

I took Gavin to the dentist yesterday to have not 1, not 2, but 3 cavities filled. Poor kid. He did really good, though. The dentist was impressed that he didn't have to fight him to get the job done. If you notice in the picture, Gavin's face is "asleep." Ha ha. He had 2 cavities on the left and a bad one on the right. He was very lop-sided. What a brave kid, though and this morning told me his mouth finally woke up.

On another note, Brad came home this past weekend and surprised me w/3 white roses! At first, I didn't know what was up but it turned out to be my belated birthday present. White roses are my favorite. My husband is the BEST!!

The weather is shaping up outside and we're looking forward to spring. Can't wait to plant flowers and shrubs. Hope you all are having a great week! :O)

Happy Monday All!

Hope everyone is starting out on the right foot today. This past weekend was good, busy, of course. After attending school carnivals, Brad and I went to RED LOBSTER. It was awesome! Thanks Kleinmans' for backing us up on the babysitting. My Dad came to visit yesterday and we've had a good time. Gavin, our neighbor girl Brie, and Brad decided to climb up the tree in our front yard (Gavin did need a little help). Check out the pics provided by my Dad. The weather was amazing yesterday, too. And now, we're on our way back to snow. Bummer. But next week is Day Light Savings and I know Spring is just around the corner. Praise God!

We are heading towards Easter. Be encouraged in Jesus' death and resurrection. I love the verse from Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." I hold tight to this verse even at Christmastime. Have a great week! :o)
