March

So it is May now and I am only finally putting up my pics from March....yeah, I am that far behind!
Oh well....that is life.
Anyway, so these 1st two pics are of our funny guy and him showing us his "funny" face with a squished nose...too cute!
 


Sophia wanted me to take a picture of her one morning and here was her pretty pose:)

More Grey.

Sophia got some money for her bday from Nana & Papa Berger and she was saving it to buy an outfit for her American Doll at the American Doll Store at the MOA.  So...I was finally able to take her to it.  It was a fun experience for us to do together.  It took her quite awhile to decide on an outfit but she picked a good one when she did.  Here was one cute photo op. while we are at the store.

Sophia and Gavin took swimming lessons from Jan- mid March and both did just great.  The 1st and 2nd picture of Gavin with his instructor.
 


These last 3 pictures have both Sophia and Gavin with their instructors.  Sophia is in the lane closest to us and Gavin in the one behind her.
 


I loved watching them both learn so much throughout the season!
 

Sophia looking oh-so-cute on St. Patrick's Day.
 

Gavin all ready for Wacky Day at his preschool.
 


My parents came to visit for weekend and we all had a such a good time.  Here are Nana Bobbie and Greyson.

Nana and Papa with Grey.
 

 Who doesn't love OJ out of a wine glass??
 

Soph, Gav and Uncle Lane.
 

Cute!
 

Patrick and Millie.
 

Looks like someone got a hold of Uncle Lane's tablet...
 

and he is pretty happy about it.....
 

and it makes him feel very important as well.
Hehe:)

1 construction master=
 

One human taco and one stunned on-looker.
Did you get that math problem?
1 funny baby+1 construction master=1human taco and 1 stunned on-looker
Yeah I know it doesn't quite add up....
 

Gavin the Taco.
 


This boy loves to make messes!
 

 
Our big boy's new sport of choice this March was street hockey with all his neighborhood friends.
 

He has really grown up!
 

A little down time for the Gav Man.
 

We had a lot of fun this year coloring Easter eggs.  Sophia especially, really got into it.
 


The beautiful results!

 Sophia after eating some barbecue chicken...yup, give that girl a bone to chew on and she is happy....not sure where she got that from...definitely not her mother.

 Grey loves to sit in the big bowl full of all the different remotes up in the playroom.  Such a goofball!
 
 In March we also had our mudroom lockers built!  I am so happy to have lockers again!  We had them in our Eagan house and I missed them dearly.  I just love structures such as these that help in any organization!

More Naples...

One beautiful Naples morning, Patrick and I went out for coffee and then took a walk along the beach....this is always one of my favorite things to do when we visit.
 

 Patrick.

One afternoon, while Jim, Sandy and Patrick did some golfing...the kids and I did some swimming.  It was Grey's 1st time in the big pool and he LOVED it!  He is such a water-loving baby!
He isn't very happy in these pics because he had to get out and take a nap:(
 

More fun swimming for Soph and Gav and the rest of the gang enjoying happy hour.
 

Grey looking all handsome for dinner one evening....he wouldn't let me take the toothbrush out of his hands though....

and this is what happened when I did.

Gav Man and his muscles.

Happy boy! 

My sweet baby.
 


Our family.

Love this one with all the great smiles with Papa and Nana.
 

Patrick and I took the kids for one more day at the beach because we all loved it so much.
It was a hit one more time Grey.

 Whenever I try and get a pick of all 3 kids...it never goes over really well
here are the "blooper" shots...
 
 Yup. 

 Fun stuff.

 Too funny!
 


 This one just cracks me up!

 Right after Grey was put down, he stopped crying immediately and marched off...what a stinker!
 
 Best buds.


 Such a pretty little lady.
 
My handsome little man.
 


 This pose was their idea!

So that concludes all the posts from our wonderful Naples vacation.  We had such a great time and did so many fun things!  We want to thank Jim and Sandy for their wonderful hospitality and all extras.  You guys are so good to us!  We love you both!
