Disney World!!!

What a magical trip! We had a wonderful time at Disney World with the boys, Grandma & Grandpa Firek, and Mamae & Papa D! Here are some of our pictures! We are already talking about when we go back! The boys were such great troopers the entire trip. We will cherish all the memories for years to come.

Nolan meeting Mickey Mouse at Chef Mickey's breakfast. Davis was a bit unsure of the characters up close.  

Our family in front of the castle. As we pushed the stroller towards the castle Davis started to squeal in awe and excitement.

Nolan at the Pirate's League, taking his pirate oath. He loved this experience. He was sure to tell the lady he wanted to be a good pirate!

 Best little buds! Princess Grace and Pirate Nolan. We were able to see our friends for a short time while at Magic Kingdom. They wanted to ride It's a small world together! It was their favorite ride.

 Our pirate Nolan and goofy Davis! Davis likes to say "doofy"

Happy Birthday Davis!!!

Davis our family became a family of four 2 years ago. We can't imagine our lives without you! You brighten our lives everyday. You are beautiful inside and out. You are sometimes quiet yet very intense, funny, goofy, strong, cuddly, and loveable. Thanks for being you. We enjoy watching you and Nolan grow, learn, and explore everyday. Happy 2nd Birthday buddy we love you!

Opening more presents.  

Getting ready to enjoy some cake!

Valentine's Day Fun

Nolan had to make a box for his Valentines at school. He loves crafts and projects these days. He loved coming home and looking at all the cards and surprises from his friends and teachers.

Here are some heart frosted cookies we made and gave to family and friends. The boys love to help me in the kitchen. They love to make and bake cookies the most, but they don't like frosting.


Happy 4th Birthday Nolan!!!

Nolan our little sunshine boy. We will never forget the day you were born. You have brought us so much joy and laughter over the last four years. We can't imagine our lives without you. We look forward to all the fun and adventures ahead. Happy Birthday baby, we love you!
xoxo Mom, Dad, & Davis

 Excited to open his big present!

 He loves his new bike! He wanted a bike with no training wheels and a kickstand. Also notice his new fly fishing vest and camo hiking boots.

Night Hike

The whole family went for a hike behind our house. We all love to be outside! It was nice because it wasn't too cold and we just had a little bit of snow! We are getting ready for a busy few weeks ahead! More posts coming soon!


River House Fun!

We spent a weekend up at the two TJ's river house. It was fun and relaxing. The three little ones love to be together and play! We enjoyed the snow, shopping, cooking, eating, playing, and just being together!

Relaxing on the couch.

Wild ones in the morning. They like to look out the windows for ducks on the river.
Eating some bacon with papa!
Hiking with uncle Theron.
Annette getting kisses from her mom and dad!
We all enjoyed a walk down to Burt Lake. The kids wanted to play in the snow and have a snowball fight when we were done with the hike.

Up North Fun!

We went up north to Avalanche Bay & Boyne with our friends so the kids could enjoy the water park and attempt some skiing! We had lots of fun and the kids got along and played really well!

We are looking forward to a wonderful 2012. We wish you and your loved ones health and happiness for the upcoming year. We will be busy at our house getting ready for our baby to arrive the beginning of May, getting the boys into the same bedroom, and a trip to Disney World! Lots of posts and pictures to come.

The hula hoop is a great way for Nolan to feel in control skiing and to save dads back!
