Boating and Fishing

Cory and Von took the girls on a little boating and fishing trip one of the days we were in Newport. They were so cute with their life jackets on and helping load up to go.

Kohlert Reunion - ATV's

Holly and Oley were so nice to bring up the ATV's and go on constant rides making sure that everyone had the chance to go riding. It was the highlight of the trip for the girls... THE ANTICIPATION

THE IMPATIENCE...and MELT DOWN when our turn was over.THE DIRTTHE EXCITEMENTTHE JOY of riding!

Kohlert Reunion - Around Camp

We had a blast at the Kohlert Family Reunion/Camp-out. It was so good to see everyone and have time to catch up and enjoy being together. The girls quickly made friends and were so excited to have other kids to play with. Hannah doing the SUPER jump! Lounging around camp and visiting. As you can tell from the sweatshirts we didn't choose the warmest weekend in Island Park.
Addy and Julia became fast friends and partners in crime...they were so cute together.

Addy playing in the field by the camp site...all of the kids had fun exploring the field and the hill behind the campsites.

Garrett waiting for some food!

Hayden taking a little cat nap, although I think he looks like he is praying to go back to the warmth of Phoenix, and his non-windy house.

Garrett was so tired that a couple of times we went back to the hotel room, where I was staying with my parents, to get something and as soon as I laid him down on the bed he crashed...poor baby just wanted some sleep. Luckily he did really well sleeping in the play and pack in the back of the van. Thank goodness for portable cribs!!!

Hannah's Birthday Party

Our water birthday bash started out with water limbo...How low can you go???How fast can you fill your bucket using a plastic cup?SLIP and SLIDE!!!Hannah insisted on a snow white cake and I was beyond knowing what to do. So after spending hours on the internet I came up with this and was pretty proud of the way it turned out. Not bad for a first timer!
Present time!!! She got lots of fun stuff and had a blast at her party...she is already talking about what she is going to do next birthday party (I don't think she realizes that that won't be for 3 more years).

Popsicle Man

I want it, I want it!!! Hurry up and get that in my mouth......YUMMMMMMM!!!! Thanks guys I love Popsicles!

Homemade Water Slide

Our neighbor filled the pool up and put it at the end of their playground slide with the hose running down...

...the girls went flying down and thought it was great. But the were freezing by the end. It is so great to have such fun neighbors.

Hannah's Trip to Oregon

For Hannah's birthday she got to go with Cory to visit Mimi and Grandpa in Oregon. She had so much fun spending one on one time with Grandpa and Mimi.

They got to go and visit the Marine science center, as well as a dog show, a wedding, swimming and lots of cooking and nail polish. She loved all the attention.

Hanging out around the house, and enjoying a bedtime story. She had such a blast.

Hannah Turns 5

Here is Hannah the day she was born and then we blinked and now...

...She is FIVE!!! I can't believe my baby is 5 years old already. HAPPY BIRTHDAY HANNAH!!!

Showing off a few of her gifts. She was so excited about the fishing pole...dad has promised to take them both fishing this summer.Her big came in the form of a suit case...her and daddy leave in the morning to go and visit Mimi and Grandpa in Oregon. She was so excited!!!
