otto's 2nd birthday

otto's birthday is may 8th, and this year it coincided with mother's day. we held his birthday party at ERPSC clubhouse, or as the kids call it, the "birthday house". the day could not have been more wonderful. it turned out to be a beautiful warm day, so the kids were able to spend most of the party playing outside. otto got some fantastic gifts, including a gapper doll (that he loves) and raingear like greta (that he REALLY loves).

check out the slideshow above for pictures from the day.

otto you are such a delight in our lives. you are so sweet and so hilarious....you say the funniest things and you definitely keep us on our toes. happy 2nd birthday!

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.
