MATT'S 30th BIRTHDAY BASH

This past Saturday we had a surprise

30th birthday party for Matt.

Since he's now the big "30" I had to

include something about Jace's old Daddy...

MOTHER'S DAY WEEKEND IN FORT WAYNE

This past weekend we traveled to the Fort to visit some

friends from college. Sandy and Doug baptized their son,

Lucas Robert Gerber, on Mother's Day. Darcie was

the godmother, and Uncle Tom was the godfather.

I know I'm handsome...

After mass as Our Lady of Good Hope Church.
It was so crowded we had to stand in the back.

DAY AT THE LOUISVILLE ZOO

Jace and Braden watching the giraffes

Snack time. Need to refuel...


Watching the gorillas eat spinach...



Of course Jace thought several animals were dogs and "barked" at them :)

Jace liked sliding down the slide at the playground,

but then decided it was more fun to go up the slide and laugh like crazy...

Swingin' on the swings. Look at my teeth!

Trying the double swing was interesting...

Braden dove right into the fountains at the waterpark. He has no fear :)

Jace just kinda watched the other kids at first and

was a little hesitant to go in the water...

Then he started poking his fingers in the fountain holes only to get a surprise!

Jace was finally brave enough to go in the fountain!

I think the boys enjoyed this part of the zoo the most!

After about 4 hours at the zoo the boys were finally tired and passed out...

Too much fun at the zoo wore the little man out....

Playing at the waterpark

FOURTEEN MONTHS OLD

Tired out after a long day of playing outside...

Learning to eat with my "spork" isn't working out so well.

I usually just end up putting the food in my mouth with my hands.

Bouncing on cousin Jacob's horse is fun!!

GO CUBS!

Jace is sporting his Cubs outfit from Grandma Nancy and Auntie Lisa...

JACE'S FIRST TRIP TO KOSAIR CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL

Well, we don't have any pics to show, but Jace fell and hit his head on Monday and we had to take him to the hospital because he started vomiting. It was a little scary, but he's okay. They did at CT scan on him at the hospital and everything turned out fine. He's fallen so many times before, but this time I guess he got himself good....
