Noah at 2 years and 3 months?

Here's Noah watching Hebron's 4th of July Parade. No offense to Hebron, but I always thought the parade was lame because all it is is firetrucks, tractors and cars. Turns out this was Noah's personal heaven. Not to mention the candy and free watermelon. I can safely say that I have never seen my son so engaged in something as he was here. It was the first time in his life he sat and watched something for an extended period of time. So, thank you Hebron parade... thank you.

Aunalie at Four Months

Here's our chubby bunny! She knows she needs to be big so she can fight off her brother's bear hugs and dead head.

Fun Water Park

For all the families out there who are looking for a fun water park, I suggest Columbus, Nebraska. It's VERY kid friendly and adult friendly. There is a gradual incline so the small ones can go in slowly, along with a few little slides and swings for infants/toddlers. There's also a lazy river for everyone and then a few bigger slides (for people 4' tall)! It's UBER fun and really a nice little place. Kids 4 and under are FREE!
Every year, we head up to Columbus to visit aunts, cousins and grandmas and go swimming for a day, and it's really nice. Kids have so much fun! Even the kids from Colorado look forward to the water park. Check out pics below!

Princess Aunalie and Princess Noah??

Here's Noah with his Cheerleading outfit on and his stroller. :) I guess "when in Rome..." you dress like a girl?

Happy Birthday Cecilia!

Cecilia: "Happy Birthday TO MEEEEE!" I guess my mom overheard her saying, "I couldn't believe I was going to be four! Had to keep asking my mom!" She is such a character!

Tiara's are for girls.... Crazy sparkly hats are for boys, then!

Grandpa Wiedel had a LOT of fun at Lost in Fun. He had to rest and hold Aunalie for a while.
I think the bubble machine was a hit. Noah tried to eat the bubbles... thanks to Grandpa.
Those blow up things are fun, but exhausting! I don't know how Noah did it for like an hour! I was so tired after being in there for 15 minutes!

Quote of the Week-June 25th

Cecilia to Noah (on her 4th birthday): "Would you like to come into our kingdom? It's full of KINDNESS!"
