A Little Of This, A Little Of That

The kids giving Daddy a big hug before he has to go back to work after his lunch break at home.

They love their Daddy!

Patrick and I all dressed up for a friend's wedding a couple of weeks ago.

We had our 1st family "make your own pizza" night! The kids had a blast putting the toppings on their own pizzas and they turned out unbelievably delicious!

Gavin kept sneaking handfulls of mozarella:)

Sophia and her pizza.

Daddy and the kids with the finished product.

All ready to go in the oven....boy did we enjoy those pizzas!

We have been doing more art projects at our house lately...here Gavin is doing some painting!

Sophia is concentrating hard on her painting.

Wow both hands!

We had a great playdate with my best friend, Steph, and her 2 boys-Charlie & Ben. Here are Charlie, Gavin and Sophia all in Gavin's crib...we found them all jumping up and down...goofballs!

Ben, Charlie, Gav and Sophia all having fun together!

On New Year's Eve we had a dinner at our house with some friends and family. Here are Patrick, Lane, Gavin and Cory (Patrick's good friend) playing a game of pool.

Here are super cute pics from our playdate with our good friends, the Matson's. Her are princesses Sophia and Sydney. In fact, if I can remember right, I think they told us that their names were Princess Ellia and Princess Ezra...quite creative I must say!

The princesses twirling away...

Good friends...Sophia, Avery, Sydney and Gavin. I think this one is so cute!

Cute little kiddos!

A Late Christmas

The Volesky-Berger Family.



We were fortunate enough to have spent Christmas in Dickinson with my family...but my brother, Lane was not able to make it. So, we celebrated Christmas again when my parents came up for the same weekend that we had Sophia's birthday party. It sure felt like another full-on Christmas!
We sure packed a lot in that weekend with a birthday party, Christmas celebration and Patrick and I went to a wedding and my parents babysat for the kids while we were gone for the night...yes, it was a super fun but busy weekend!~


Papa Ken, Uncle Lane and Gavin playing in the tent.

A softball glove and ball!!!! He is going to have lots of fun with that one!

Gavin trying to throw the ball at the same time that he had it in his glove....didn't work too well.

All smiles after Uncle Lane helps him catch his first ball!

I took this picture just to show how cute Gav's wavy hair is! Love it! He definitely got those waves from the Volesky side:)

Five days after Sophia's birthday, on Jan. 7th we had her birthday party and she had a wonderful time! We were so lucky that the weather just happened to be so mild (in January!!) that everyone could make it.
