Old Friends

Nate's best friend was in town this past weekend. They grew up together and have remained good friends even though Ryan lives in Arizona. So when Ryan came home with his kids, Tristan and Isaac and fiancee Megan, we were very excited. It was nice to see Nate and Ryan together again, and I think they were happy to see their boys playing together for the first time. Below are a couple pics from the weekend.

Brotherly Love

When I woke up the other day before going to work I looked out the window to see this. Jacob was giving Evan rides down the slide. So cute!

Baby Chicks

It's that time of year again. Gma Bindl just received her baby chicks in the mail. Nate took the boys out to see them while they are still fuzzy and cute. However this years trip was much more eventful than he wanted. Not one but two catastrophes. First Evan went up and grabbed the heat lamps you see in the picture below. He ended up with third degree burns on four of his fingers. Then, while everyone was tending to Evan, Jacob decided that he needed some attention too. So he ended up slipping somehow and banging his mouth on the counter. He broke open his gums above his front teeth.... blood bath! So while Evan played in cool water Jacob got to take a trip to the dentist.

I guess I am lucky that I was an hour away sleeping.

Fun at the Park

Today the boys and I met up with some friends at a park. Then about 30 minutes after we showed up a couple bus loads of kids joined in the already busy park! That made it next to impossible for us to watch all of our kids so we had to move the fun behind the park to the grass. The kids didn't seem to skip a beat. They all had a great time!

Jacob and Evan fell asleep on the way home and I successfully transferred them into their beds. I thought I was home free! I went outside to read my book and not even 30 minutes later they were bouncing off the walls again! Where do they get their energy?!

The pictures below are of naked balloon fun, as they like to call it.
