Masked Matty

Matthew made his dad's day with this picture. Anyone who knows Matthew knows he loves costumes, year round. He frequents the breakfast table dawning one of his masks. We love having a little boy and are obviously having a hard time letting Matthew grow up. Maybe it is time we have another.....maybe not.
Matthew will always be welcome to eat breakfast, with a side of Dorritos, in disguise. After all, who doesnt like eating breakfast with a superhero?
Some of our favorites......

Welcome Baby Hannah

Congratulations to the Olsens on their beatiful new baby Hannah!


Hannah was born Thursday March 27th. We were able to visit with the Olsens last night and take these pictures of their sweet girl. Gavin was looking at the pictures this morning and the first thing he said was "Wow, that babies head is perfect!" She truely is a beautiful girl. Heather and Gavin are more baby hungry than ever.

Who is more tired.....Mom, Dad or Hannah

Happy Easter!


We have spent Easters in Bloomington where it has snowed before but it melted by mid-day. This year there was several feet still on the ground with temperatures in the teens in the morning. We brought basketballs, footballs, laser tag and other outdoor spring games but traded them in for gloves, hats, sleds and late night board games. All of the snow and the blue skies made for a beautiful and fun Easter. The kids enjoyed hunting eggs on the frozen tundra. It was easy to hide eggs in the boot holes and snowdrifts. Most of the boys had fun doing a geo cache for their Easter candy but not as much fun as Heather and Seth had creating it, including getting stuck in the snow. We spent some time at Ollies' where Ian and Aaron also found some treasure. We loved being together as a family and missed Jenny and Justin. As usual, it all went too fast but we have some wonderful memories...

Happy Birthday Heather!

One of my many favorite pics of Heather

Today is Heathers 32nd Birthday. It was beautiful weather for a beautiful birthday girl. Unfortunately she speant more time with Barbara than with us. Although Heather had to work, we had fun going to lunch at the Olive Garden and it seemed to make Barbara's day to. We are planning on celebrating Heather this whole week. The boys are excited to take her to see 10,000 B.C. this Friday. We are so thankful for Heather's loving nature, beautiful smile, and frequent off color comments.
