Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter!! We had a wonderful day today with family!! Grandma and Grandpa Smith came to visit along with Uncle John, Aunt Leisa, Cousin Keegan and Cousin dog Charlie!! The boys had so much fun playing and it was so great to see everyone! We aren't traveling too far from home anymore since our little girl is only a few weeks away from being born. We are getting very anxious now and can't wait to meet her! I just wish I would have some idea of when she was going to come, but I guess that would take part of fun away. Anyway, thanks Smith family for the great day, we had a great time!!

We went to an Easter Egg hunt at our neighbors. This was Finn's first egg hunt!

It took one egg before he realized there were goodies inside!! :)

Finn checking out all the eggs in his basket!

That basket looks like it is getting pretty heavy!!

Finn and Keegan enjoying their drinks on the warm day! We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day!

Load up boys, Grandma is going to take you for a wagon ride!

All settled in the wagon!! They road around like this for quite a while, they loved it!!

Daddy playing Kubb!! He took on John and Grandpa and beat them both!! I won't tell you what happened the next game when Leisa and I decided to play. It wasn't pretty! :)

Nash and Charlie getting some shade! They were playing hard too!

Spring picture in front of the Forsythia! What handsome dogs! Hard to believe these two are now 8 years old! Don't look to close or you will see all their grays!

Now the little boys turn! What cute little guys!!

And for the Mommy's! Next year we will have four little ones in the pictures!! Can't wait to meet you two!!

Poor Charlie! Keegan and Finn decided they wanted to try and ride Charlie at the same time! What a good dog, he just laid there and took it! Below is a video of what he put up with! He definitely deserves and extra treat tonight!!

Finn's First Tractor Ride!!

We recently bought Finn his first play set! He loves climbing on it and going down the slides!! I've also included pictures of this past weekend. We made our last trip home until after our new little baby arrives! We had a lot of fun hanging out with family and friends! Finn even talked Grandpa Gingerich into taking him on his first tractor ride and letting him sit in the bobcat! Finn loved it and afterward kept asking to go for another ride!! He is now able to say so many things and it seems like he picks up a new word every day! Most of these things only Zach and I can understand, but he is really trying to talk a lot now!

The pictures are a little out of order. This was the play set before Zach put it together! :)

Spring time!!

Finn has been very busy over the past few weeks!! Thank goodness it has been getting warmer and we have been able to play outside because he was beginning to go crazy with cabin fever!! Here are a few pictures of what we've been up to lately! In a few weeks he will be 17 months old! One more month and he will be a big brother! :)

We bought Finn his first swing and he loves it!

Another swing picture, what a happy boy!

Finn and his cousin Keegan! These two are going to be trouble this summer!!

Daddy teaching Finn how to wash his Jeep! Finn absolutely loved this! Anything with water and the boy is a fan!

Daddy trying to teach Finn how to work the hose. Not sure if that is the best idea...

Finn and a Jeep sign, makes Daddy proud!

He's watching very intently taking it all in!

He's such a big helper! He washes the jeep and then comes into the kitchen to cook dinner!

Grandma and Grandpa Gingerich got us all tickets to the Ft. Wayne Komets game in February! Finn loves watching hockey, imagine that!

Daddy and Finn at the hockey game!! Sooo cute!

Grandma and Finn on ride!

Christmas 2009!

Christmas this year was so much fun!! Finn didn't quite get the concept yet but he still did pretty good! He had to many toys before so now he really has way to many toys!! We had such a wonderful time with our families!! We love you all!!

Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa Gingerich's house!! Look at all those toys!!

Back at our house! Finn is shoveling off the deck! Good job Finn! He does have mittens by the way, he just won't leave them on!

Some more shoveling! It takes a long time to remove that dusting of snow we had! :)



This is a video of Finn playing on our little ladder. Zach put a ceiling fan in our room last week and Finn was a big helper! Sorry the quality of the filming is pretty bad and dark but I still thought it was cute! You should hear him when he really gets going, this is nothing!

BIG NEWS!!!!

I almost forgot, for those of you who don't know, Finn is going to be a big brother!! Even bigger news is that he is going to have a little SISTER!! That's right, our next little one, or I mean our little girl, is due on May 5th!! We are so excited and can't wait to meet her!! Now we just have to agree on a name! :)

Recent Pictures

Since it has been so long since I've last posted anything, I thought it would be best if I just posted a few pictures from the last couple months. He sure is growing fast!!

Finn is playing with his big boy shovel! He plans to shovel the snow off the drive way!! :)

Trying out his new winter coat! We can't get him to leave his mittens on!


This just looks like trouble to me!

Always something in his mouth! Go Colts!

Finn's first real hair cut!

Didn't go so well! Luckily they were fast! Plus he got a sucker, yum yum!!
