Shed Hunting in Iowa

Nolan was a lucky little boy as he headed to our farm in Iowa to do some shed hunting with dad. (And Mr. Chillman, and Mr. Bill) Nolan loves everything hunting and just spending time with his dad! Mom was lucky to have 2 days away up north with all the girls from the family for some much needed relaxation, shopping, and fun! Thanks to Grandma & Grandpa Firek for watching Davis for the weekend!

Here are some pictures from the guys trip  to Iowa.

Double Birthday Party!!!

Since the boys birthday's are five days apart we had a combined party for them. It was at a gymnastics facility called Bounce. They loved playing with all their friends, the games, and fun times. Thank you so much for coming the boys had a great time. Here are some pictures from the fun!

Our family!

 Playing games on the parachute.

Dirt sundaes for dessert! Davis likes his with no snakes! (Or "no nakes" as he would say!)



 The birthday boys!!! Playing under the parachute.

Davis playing with his new dog veterinary set! He loves to pretend and animals!

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.

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!

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!
