the sweet shop

and did i mention we ended our great day with ice cream? we headed to schneiders sweet shop in bellevue for a few scoops before bedtime. the kids were super dirty from playing outside, and ice cream seemed like the perfect treat. yum. selma slept through the whole thing. maybe next time, selma.....

outside time

gorgeous weather (great light) and adorable kids. it was one of those days when everything seems perfect.

chillin'

friday was such a gorgeous day! we had both lunch and dinner outside on the deck, and the kids got lots of time playing in the yard and digging in what otto calls his "yarden" (yard/garden). selma spent some time laying on a towel on the deck, just cooing and enjoying some vitamin D.

please note how FILTHY otto is. that boy loves his dirt.

we've got a bunch of pictures to post from otto's second birthday bash. heck, i think we still have easter photos to post. having 3 kids keeps us pretty busy.

boppy boy AGAIN

is this johnny cueto?

a few reds games ago, the giveaway was a pack of reds baseball cards. these have quickly become quite a popular "toy" in our house. the kids like to look at them and ask who each player is,what position they play, etc. they've gotten a lot of the names down, and it's hilarious to hear otto say things like, "is this brandon phillips? is this edinson volquez?"
