Berkley the pup

Berk warms our hearts everyday. He is just a little boy inside trying to play; whether it be with Legos, board games, or outside. Sweet boy!!! <3

Side note: the Pirate Booty snacks we were enjoying during this photo may have contributed to his interest.

Sunday mornings

Garden prep

We had some really great helpers prepping the garden beds for spring/summer crops.

"Baseball ready!"

Northwest Trek

Had an awesome (and somewhat sunny) day at Northwest Trek today with preschool friends. The boys had so much fun seeing bears, elk, bison, wolves and much more wildlife local to WA!

Waiting on friends

The suspense is on when waiting for friends to come over for a play date!

Morning Lego construction

Don't trust the bubbles

Mr. Berk doesn't trust those bubbles during the boy's bath time.

Baby Ellie: part of the pack

We love baby Ellie P so much!  She is so cute and growing so fast.  Berkley knows she is part of our pack and hangs out around her to protect her just like he did with Ardan and Nolan.  The boys love talking to her and showing her toys.

Ardan's 5th birthday! : Round 2

We had our Olympia family over for pizzas and ninja turtle cupcakes to celebrate Ardan officially turning 5 on Sunday.  We have lots of work to do putting Legos together, and Ardan cannot wait! Literally he wanted to open every box of Legos as he unwrapped them!

Panning for gold

Big thanks to Aunt Linda and Uncle Randy for sending the boys some gold panning equipment! They are having so much fun!

Buddies caught hanging out

Let spring baseball begin

Ardan has his first practice for machine pitch baseball last Thursday. The field was a lake so we stayed under the dugout and went over a few things. Let's hope rainy season. Ends soon!

Ardan's 5th Birthday: Round One

Tonight Ardan celebrated his 5th birthday by having his first sleepover!  One of his friends came over to play (ninja turtle style), eat pizza, and have cupcakes. RT (Papa T) was here too.  We will have our Olympia "family" over tomorrow for another celebration.

Papa T

We got to meet Greg's dad, "Papa T"!  He came to visit for a few days after a business trip.  We had a blast playing football and showing him around town.

Scaling walls

Just another day scaling walls.

March snow

On Monday we woke up to a dusting of snow. Of course this little dude wanted to go out in play in it.

Treasure hunt

When you want to treasure hunt in the rain, you get the metal detector and treasure hunt in the rain.

A blanket fort for Berkley?
