Timber!

Jimmy and Travis did some some major tree-trimming last week. A couple of things to note in the video - Jimmy running away like a scared little girl every time the tree cracks a little - Travis giggling in the background - Jimmy's new shirt from Menards that he is extremely proud of.

Cupcakes

Rach & Travis brought us some cupcakes tonight!

What? Do I have something on my face?

Matthew doesn't just eat a cupcake - he destroys it and then drives his monster truck through the crumbs.


I didn't get a picture of Andrew, but he was complaining about how the cupcake was making his hands dirty and he wanted to eat it with a fork. Quite the opposite of his little bro.

Grace & Isaac - BFF's

Grace likes to be wherever Isaac is - right on top of him

He does not seem to feel the same way.

He was happy playing in the box - he even managed to steal her milk cup.

She made him pay for that - what a bully!

Photos by Andrew

Andrew got a hold of my camera one day. These are the results.

Andrew & Ari's Play

It's kind of hard to hear with Grace, Annika and Matthew in the background but it's their version of "The Wizard of Oz"

Car Concert

This is after about 4 1/2 hours in the car.

Grace's Birthday

Grace had 3 parties for her first birthday. What a lucky girl! The first one was at our house with a banana cake made by Grandma Tuhy.

I think she liked it

Party #2 at the Martin's. Claire made her a wonderful strawberry cake. She had lots of help blowing out her candle

Party #3 at the Fritels. She had to share the spotlight (and cakes) with Grandpa Bob.

Birthday's are fun!
