Birthday, Vacation, Family Visits
Here's a quick recap of the past two months. First Oliver turned 3 years old on April 9 and since it was so close to Easter we had a joint birthday party/Easter party with our sunday school class and it turned out to be a huge success!!
Oliver enjoyed his custom made "Thomas" cake!!
Then in May we traveled by plane to Orlando, FL for a fun week visiting Nathan's grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Activities included a trip to Epcot Center, Gatorland, the beach, learning how to handle a firearm (for the adults), game night, movie night, and a lot of great memories.
You can check out all the photos from our trip on my facebook page. CLICK BELOW!!
Shortly after returning home my family visited from TX and we had an exciting weekend playing games,
exploring Red Rocks,
Botanic Gardens at Chatfield,
and taking walks.

Springtime Photos of our family
It's been a lot harder to get on the computer lately with two little ones around the house so I'll try to at least post once a month with pictures and videos.
The past week or so we've had beautiful weather getting up into the 60's and 70's during the day and we're so glad the snow is all finally melted. Nathan bought some grass seed for the backyard and Oliver helped him water the grass.
We recently visited the Littleton Museum and Farm with our mom's group and Oliver had a lot of fun exploring a miniature hay maze,
And watching the sheep run and play.
And of course we take a lot of walks to the nearby park. Owen enjoys the breeze while Oliver plays nearby.
Oliver's favorite activity at the park is walking around on the cement wall!!
While indoors the boys love playing on their puzzle ABC/numbers mat and Owen learns how to sit up in his new bumbo chair.
Today Oliver introduced Owen to his trains,
and then they snuggled together to watch a Thomas the train movie.
All the play wears Owen out and he loves to be swaddled up for his nap.

Daily life with Two!!
Owen turned 3 months old on Valentine's Day and we've been slowly getting into a good schedule and hopefully he'll start sleeping through the night soon.
Most mornings we try to get out for a walk if the weather is nice. I scored a great deal on a used double jogging stroller and the boys love it.
Lately it's been really cold so we've been playing a lot inside and Owen enjoys watching Oliver play next to him.
Sometimes Oliver gets too close to Owen with his toys.
Just today I found a giant puzzle mat with ABC's and numbers on it and Oliver loved putting it together.
It's a perfect fit for our dining area and now the boys can play on the floor while we are cooking in the kitchen.
We've definitely been experiencing a real Colorado winter this year and two weeks ago it snowed for 2 days straight and left us buried under 2 feet of snow. Oliver helped to shovel off the driveway.
Owen helped out by falling asleep and not causing any trouble!!
In the evening Daddy cooks wonderful meals with Oliver's help.
And we end the day with bath time which is turning into a lot of fun despite the fact that Oliver can't stand water being poured on him. He likes to help wash Owen.

Videos
Here a few fun videos I've taken recently of my boys. Enjoy!!
Pardon the funny noises as these were taken on my camera. We just recently found the charger to our video camera so we'll be taking more on that one which is better quality and doesn't make that weird noise. Have a great weekend!!

Brotherly Love
Of course we've been taking a bunch of pictures of our sweet little boy and Oliver really seems to enjoy his new brother so here are pictures of them together.
He's already showing Owen his toys and willing to share.
He likes to help out by giving Owen his paci when he gets fussy, which is rare.
And after Owen eats, Oliver loves to climb up in the recliner with Mom and point out Owen's nose, fingers, ears, mouth and comment on how small they are compared to his own.
Followed by more kisses...
....and hugs!!
Oliver truly loves his little brother and we couldn't be happier with our new addition.
