Memorial Weekend!

Tatum always like to watch the "choo-choo" go by

Lovin' the water, but it took some time :)

Tater-tot and Reeses-Pieces

Eating with her own utensils for the first time!

I found an awesome dish that suctions to her tray and has a lip on it to make it easier to get the food on her spoon or fork. She loves doing things herself so this is great...but still messy.

Swimming at Steph's Pool

Stephanie let us come over for a swim which Tate absolutely loved. She's a little too fearless though, she'll just walk right over the edge into the water whether anyone is there or not. And she squirms when you hold her in the water like she just wants to swim on her own even though she hasn't a clue how to do it.

Had to put the lid on cause she just wanted to stir the melon with her hands

Sharing- such sweeties!

Fun in the Sun

One wknd we decided to take a bike ride on the Olentangy River trail. Brian and Alli came along...these are some pictures of one of our pit-stops to take a break and let the girls run around.

Tatum at home looking cute on the porch.

DDS idol baby!

Another great night at DDS Idol, always a fun time. Beau is quite talented but I have to say... the real talent was me holding Tatum, taking pictures, watching the live show and video taping all at once :) I was actually quite impressed with how well it turned out. The band looked great and sounded great, it was really fun to watch. Jeremy (who is quite unrecognizable) performed with Beau last year, and sported sleeves of tats and a mohawk and Beau rocked lightning burns... and yes, to answer the next question, they did win again- one of 3 winners in different categories...no 1st, 2nd, 3rd this year. And I worried Tatum would be a horror for the several hours, but she was a trouper- she loves music.

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!
