My 25th Birthday!

For my birthday Beau surprised me with a fruit bouquet in the morning (which he made!) and in the evening we went mini golfing and watched Date Night at the Movie Tavern which serves dinner while you watch the movie. It was simple and fun...nice to have a baby sitter and get away for a few hours with Beau.

yum yum- he knows me well

look how beautiful the trees are!

Look at him trying so hard to beat me on my birthday!...we tied.

Easter MIorning at Homestead Park

Spent Easter with the Beckstroms and the Albrechts... did a little egg hunt and played around for a bit and then we all had a nice Easter lunch together. Fun day.

love this one!

look at her just walkin' around like a big girl!

Our Trip to the zoo Easter Eve

Tatum had never been to the zoo yet so we thought it would be fun for the Easter wknd. It was a lot of fun and a lot of the animals came real close as you can see in some of the pictures.

look at the claws on that sunbear

Daddy Kissing Tatum

Tatum Kissing Daddy! ( notice the tiger in the background)

It was sooooo windy that day you can tell a little from the hair

Tate and a litte Joey

One of these birds either vomited or crapped (I don't know which, didn't see it coming) on my hand from above just before this pic.

hard to see with the glare but thats the monkey's face

Tate's little Easter Cottage...or so she thinks

Happy Easter!

Tatum was all out of clothes and shoes that fit her so I decided to go shopping for some at a great discount store here in columbus called Once upon a Child. Every time I shop there I get great stuff. This last trip was no exception... I got 14 articles of clothing a book and this chair for only $65! and the clothes are super cute. Still on the lookout for shoes. I just love this chair because its just hers and she knows it. Im waiting for her to tip it over though- she's a wild child.

It's Official! Tatum's going to be a BIG SISTER!

I just had my first visit with the doctor today to hear our new little baby's heartbeat! Everything looked good on the ultrasound so I guess it's safe to say that we're going to have another addition to the family! Oh my, wish me luck!...and patience :) It's good that God makes babies so cute, it makes it all worth it.

Meghan's A Mommy!!! Welcome to the world Kylie!

My sister, Meghan, had her baby last night March 10th-- a whopping 8lbs 8.5 ounces coming from someone only 5'3" ! She did great from what I hear- 18hrs of labor and tough through the whole thing. Congratulations Meghan, good job- wish I was there to see her! And I hope you feel better soon! I think Tatum must have known her cousin was coming, cause she was so excited last night she couldn't control herself-- I've never seen her so hyper in her life.

Sunshine? I almost forgot what that was...never mind that it's still in the 40's outside

We were so excited to see the sun, we just had to get out in it... even though its still pretty chilly, we're used to it being much worse and are just so anxious for summer. Winters are just sooooo long here. We took a family bike ride and visited all our nearby friends.

model pose...she's a california girl at heart.

All ready!
