Spring 2011

We had another blessed semester. Enjoy the picts!

Mother's Day Fun 2011

Juliana's first dance recital

Juliana had her first dance recital over Mother's Day weekend! She had a lot of fun. We were grateful to all the family who traveled to see her. She did not want to stop to get her picture taken, thus the posed smile:) She was too busy playing in between performances.

Birthday!

We had a great family day on my birthday. I turned 37. Juliana designed the colors for my cake:)

Daddy/Daughter Date

These two went on a "date" to a concert at Rick's school. She LOVED it!

Egg hunt

Top picture shows Lukas sitting down to have a bite of his chocolate candy. They both were very excited!

Easter 2011

Our family participated in a fundraising 2 mile walk for Youth Horizon. Juliana walked the entire way!

Big Boy-almost 23 months old

It seems like overnight he turned into a little boy:) Lots of fun and laidback unless he is hungry:)

Buddies

These two truly love each other. It is a joy to see.

Reading with Dad

There is a whole lot of reading that goes on around here:)

Nana and Papa Visit in March 2011

We love when Nana and Papa visit for many reasons. The kids love them but Rick and I also love it. Just imagine Rick and I to the side relaxing in our own recliner:) That was what was happening in this picture. I'm quite certain they should visit us weekly:)

HairStyle:)

Juliana in french braids:) We were blessed to meet Mrs. White at Bible Study and she cuts/styles the kids' hair. Juliana finds it so much fun, especially since her mother lacks these hair styling skills:)

Snack Time (mid Feb 2011)

20 months old

Snow Days!

We had a few snow days which was unusual and it also meant Dad stayed home! Woo-hoo! Lots of sled rides and hot chocolate by the fire:)

Happy New Year 2011 and Christmas 2010

It was a great Christmas. Santa was left pink cupcake, pink icing and strawberry/chocolate swirl milk:) Rumor has it, he really liked it! Next year we will have to try to incorporate some blue or go traditional red/green:)
