Amazing!

A-Maz-Ing! Describes this awesome, unusual March weather we've been blessed with.

Kevin's sister, Jenny or Aunt Jenny, came up to visit us since she was on spring break.  The 5 of us took advantage of this nice weather and spent some time outside on walks and playing in the yard.  It felt so refreshing to get back outside and start walking again.  Yay for exercise!

So cute, Taters!

Checking out the backyard...guy things. :)

Piggy back rides are the best!

And time spent with Aunt Jenny isn't complete until you have Dairy Queen ice cream!  Matt is Aunt Jen's ice cream buddy.

Thanks for sharing!  Aunts are the best!

We had a great time hanging with our Auntie.  Come back and visit us again very, very soon!

Happy Birthday, Grandma Joyce!

Happy Birthday today to our awesome Grandma Willms!

Last year on her birthday we posed with a Happy Birthday sign, so...

we thought we would try it again this year!

("What does this say?")

...and now the paci comes to the rescue.  Sorry, she wouldn't sit unless she had it.

We all wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY and we LOVE YOU so much {to the moon and back}! 
Enjoy your special day!

A New Way To Ride

This is how Matthew likes to sit on (or should I say 'in') his car.  It makes me laugh!

You're suppose to sit on the seat not inside the seat comparment, Goofball!

Then he tips it over...

and tries to crawl inside. 

Checking out the wheels...maybe a future repair guy? ;)

You make us laugh, Silly Boy!



Birthday Supper

Last Monday, to celebrate the twins' birthday, several of us went out to eat at Pepper's (crazy that K & M picked mommy and daddy's favorite restaurant).  I ended up staying back in Iowa with our families for the week since Kevin was going to have a late work week.  Unfortunately, that meant Daddy didn't get to be with Kate and Matt on their actual 1st birthday. 

Grandma and Grandpa Dufel, Grandma and Grandmpa Willms, Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa Bernhardt, and Great-Aunt Mary all went to Pepper's with us for a birthday dinner.

Matt fell asleep in the car on the way there.  Nothing like a little snooze at your birthday celebration.

The birthday girl!

The birthday boy!

The twins even got their own birthday dessert and loved it!

Look at my messy birthday dessert face...and check out those two teethers!

Katers starting to get a messy face, too!

Thanks for helping make Kate and Matthew's 1st Birthday a special day!  We missed having Daddy there, but I was glad to have our family there to spend the day with.
