Happy Birthday, Nana!

I look forward to celebrating every body's birthdays each year. Sometimes schedules can get in the way of getting to see everybody as often as we'd like, so it's a great excuse for all of us to get together and enjoy each other's company. This year, we celebrated Nana's special day at Cracker Barrel, and for dessert, we enjoyed angel food cake with strawberries. It was a nice time!
Happy Birthday, Nana! We hope you enjoyed your day! We love you!

Sneaky, Sneaky!!

 Any guesses as to what my dad is doing? One of his favorite things to do while visiting us...
Upon his arrival, he asks me every time what exactly we're trying to get rid of and he promises to do his best to clear it all out before he leaves. When he asks what we're trying to get rid of, he's only referring to candy, chocolate, chips, pop, ice cream, or anything that contains A LOT of sugar. Grammy keeps him pretty healthy back in Ohio (thank you, Pam!) so when they visit, he's like a feral animal searching for food.
This happens to be Paps in our pantry digging through Noah and Nate's leftover Halloween candy. As you can see, he's not just sampling one or two pieces and he also had no idea I was behind him taking these pictures. Otherwise, I bet his 5 minute scramble would have been a few minutes shorter. On many occasions, he's been known to power-slam (as my brother likes to call it) Dr Pepper in there as a secret hiding place. He's not just hiding from the kids, though I appreciate the gesture, but he is hiding from Pam and me also. Anytime we see him with a can of pop to his mouth, we ask, "Have you had any water today?" And most of the time, he is also running around with a smudge of chocolate around his mouth.

Please!?!?

Nate tries so hard to reach the pedal, but just barely can't reach. He begs Noah all the time to take him for a ride.

Noah and Nate brought Grammy and Grandpa to one of their favorite parks!

Not sure if you can see Grammy, but she is up there too.

Fun at church!

Most Sundays involve playing in the basin full of bouncy balls at church. After service, all the kids scramble for their choice. Our boys love bouncing on these. Lucky for us, Grammy and Grandpa were here visiting so both boys got to bounce while I took a few pics.
