a few family photos/L's 4th bday

4th of July Fun

L. and A. Took their first tractor drive together. They got to load up in front of our house! :)

Easter 2014 - Signs of Spring

 

 

A sweet family in our church gave us their play set. The boys are thrilled.

Our first daffodil opened on Easter morning! (So late for us!)

I made these cupcakes for a bake sale.

My guys. I feel blessed.

E. loves music and balls and birds. He is walking and can say dad, mom,

ball, bubble, bird, car, and arbol. He knows and points to objects as I say words like luz,

zapatos, etc...

Fall in S.D.

For those of you that haven't seen this photo yet, here it is. I like how it turned out. Even a full moon in the background! Thanks, Andrew for making me look good! :)

These photos were all taken out at a nature preserve we sometimes walk around  in as a family. We were attempting to capture a nice photo for Jan & Alan's Christmas frame/Levi's 2nd birthday photo shoot/pregnancy pics. I love these couple of Andrew and Levi.

Carrying around these 43+ extra pounds is hard work! :)

Can you say "Seen mama do this one too many times this pregnancy?!" Hahaha. So much for "Potty training".

This is proof that we can have a nice fall day. Notice Levi is in shorts and a tshirt.

Levi sporting his almost too small cowboy vest from Mimi. He is attending his friend's 2nd birthday party and needed something that would pass for "Farm".

Levi's 1st horse back ride at friend's birthday. I had to get on with him (not an easy task) because he didn't want to ride alone.

Here is a photo of Andrew and I at this year's Spirit of Dakota dinner. I was wearing the same outfit 2 years ago to the same banquet but looked much different. :)

Each year I fill several boxes for the Operation Christmas Child donation. This year I had a little buddy cheerfully helping me fill our 3 boxes. Hint if your family does this: buy throughout the year when things are on clearance; i.e. after school is back in session school supplies are SUPER cheap. I did this as a child of about 10-12 and received a little package back from the girl that got my box. It was SO meaningful!

Levi and Andrew raking the leaves together.

Levi helped Andrew smash the leaves in the can by jumping on them.
