A Fun Weekend

We had a busy and fun weekend.  On Saturday, Maren, Josh and I checked out the Gluten Free Food Fest.  Our little lady loves to snack and discovered dill lentil chips are a new favorite!



Here she is with her lentil chips.

On Sunday we went to the Grand Ol' Day parade.  It was an absolutely beautiful day for a parade, and we had two very enthusiastic parade goers!

Here's Owen waiting for the parade and showing off how much he looks like Josh. 

Maren and I posing to earn free stuff again.  

The parade is starting!  

 

The bands were a little much for Maren.

Not for this guy, though.  He did a lot of dancing!

 

He says this is his "dancing face."

Finally, on Sunday afternoon, we celebrated our cousin's second birthday! I was too busy keeping Owen and Maren from opening all the presents to take pictures.  I wish I would have taken one of Jonah before he fell and bumped his head.  Either way, we enjoyed celebrating this little guy and eating his delicious soccer ball cake.

Happy Birthday, Jonah!

New Fence

The newest addition to our home is a fenced-in back yard.  Owen, Maren and Cooper are all excited to have a bit more freedom to go in and out as they please. 



The kids were excited to help with some clean up.

This little guy is the most amazing and dedicated helper.

The best part of having a fence is that we can have friends over to play without mom worrying about someone escaping.

And, just for fun, some sweet pictures of Josh and his little clone.

Owen has done great with potty training but is struggling with #2, which means tummy aches and a lot of snuggles.
