Fun in the sun

We have had some BEAUTIFUL weather here lately! There were a few days where it seemed like we had completely skipped spring and gone straight into summer! It was even warm enough to get our kiddie pool out earlier this month! We've been taking full advantage of the nice days... playing outside, going for walks, and just enjoying God's amazing creation.

At the park ~

In addition to fun in the sun, we (well... the boys) have also had some fun in the MUD!

Fun in their pool :)

Of course, with beautiful spring weather come thunderstorms, and we got a few pictures of some interesting clouds outside our house one night before getting hit with a doozie! :) (these clouds kind of reminded me of the movie "The Day After Tomorrow"... if you've seen it, you should know what I mean)



We've had fun with friends...

Here's Micah and his gymnastics buddy, Shai, at the Kohl Children's Museum ~

If I had any clue about Photoshop, I would have cropped these two pictures to make one where both Micah and Jeremy are looking at the camera. Oh well. :)

...and been able to enjoy the newest member of the family a bit... (ok, a LOT! The massive amount of pictures are for you, Auntie Lisa) :)

Aaron and Eliza ~

Caleb wasn't too sure about Eliza at first...

...but he thinks she's pretty cute :)

Sweet little gassy smile ~

The boys, checking out their newest cousin...and her car seat (to be honest, I'm not sure which they were more interested in) :)

Relaxing after a diaper change ~

All ready to go home (she looks like she's thinking, "maybe if I appear uninterested, she'll stop taking my picture..." Sorry, kid, you'd better get used to it!) :)

Beautiful mommy & baby ~

Caleb was all about his cousin until Daddy showed up with ice cream! :)

Our boys have also discovered how much fun it is to bang the lids to our pots and pans together. **WARNING ~ you might want to turn your volume down before hitting play!**

Micah has also discovered his new favorite place to read! Believe it or not, he got in there all by himself. :)

He even got Nee Nee to read him a story in the tunnel! :)

I love how you can see Micah's feet on one side of the tunnel, and Nee Nee and Caleb on the other :)

It has been a beautiful spring so far, and we are looking forward to many more nice days to come! :)
