Hurray for the park and Spring!

This was our first trip to the park to enjoy the beautiful Spring weather we've been having here. We have heard of the possibility of SNOW for Sunday :o( Blech! That is Indiana for you!


Rebecca Grace-10

Benjamin Daniel-8


Abigail Joy-5 1/2

Caleb James-20 months


Loving the swingset!

Caleb especially enjoyed swinging..


Big sis trying to get him fastened in the swing.

He was so excited and had to make sure that "Buh"

got to swing with him.

Abby was queen of the hill...... LOL!

Here they come.....Wheeeee!



Back at home enjoying popsicles on the patio.

A BIG welcome to Greg & Tasha Quakenbush's newest addition!



Little Miss Emma Jane arrived yesterday at 3:29 pm

weighing in at 9# 2 1/2 oz and 22 1/2 in. long!

What an absolute sweetheart! I thoroughly enjoyed

meeting and holding her ;o)

Sweet moment between momma and baby...Aww!

Haircut and other pics

We are really enjoying this BEAUTIFUL Spring weather! It is so nice to not worry about coats, hats,gloves and etc. I am getting ready to put away the winter clothes and bring out the Spring..Yeah!! The boys got much needed haircuts and I just LOVE the results! Caleb looks so much older and ornery looking!

Handsome little man!

Abby just had to join in the picture taking too!

Coloring time. We have to watch because he

LOVES to eat the crayons! Blech!

......he is done......off to more baby adventures.......

Lovin' on Buddy. Buddy is about to

fall apart....one eye hanging loose...

stitches beginning to pop on his head...

...one arm gone! Much loved! LOL!!

Something NEW....

We tried something NEW for our family Friday night. We took them bowling after finding out that our local bowing alley offered discounted prices for shoes and games every friday from 3-6 pm. Can't beat that! Danny and I have not been bowling in forever and neither one of us did good enough to mention but the kids enjoyed themselves and we all enjoyed being together as a family and made some fun memories ;o) We plan on doing it more often and working on our bowling skills because they certainly NEED it! LOL!! Abby was our photographer and enjoyed herself as well as did a decent job of getting some good shots. Enjoy.....


Our bright, lite-weight balls ready to roll....

Caleb observed the action from his stroller and loved

watching the 'baww-lls' . (As he cals them)

Danny helps Ben pick his ball.


Becca waiting her turn, smiles for the camera.

Getting bowling advice from Daddy.

....and there she goes!


Showing Ben the finer points of how to knock

down the pins.

I have NO idea what this face is supposed to mean?!

Abby trying her hand at it. She rolled hers so

slow that we could have ran down and knocked

them down before the ball hit! LOL!!

FUN TIMES!!!
