Rugby

 Jake has been playing Rugby all Spring and I am ashamed that I haven't put any pictures of him up! :( So here are a few cool ones that Steve took (of course!) He has been having such a fun time playing, and we have been having a fun time watching him! He hurt his knee so he has been out for a few games resting. But he should be back on the field next week!





 Yelling at a teammate who is slacking off! Haha




 Someone didn't want us to leave her at home so we brought her 
and she hung out right by our feet and was loving it!
Great job Jake! You are such a joy to watch and we love you!

The month of April

 Okay so I totally have been slacking the whole month of April with the blogging, but so much has been going on! We had Mom's birthday on the 7th, Dad's birthday on the 23rd, and Easter! Here are a few fun pictures!
Okay so the order of the pictures got all messed up, but this first one is from Mom's birthday! We made her Bee Bop for breakfast (Thanks for the recipe Erie-doo!) Fresh Orange-Carrot-Apple Juice, Orange slices, and some homeade fruit tart! She loved it! Dad also got her some gorgeous tulips! These first two pictures I couldn't get to face the right way! I am having difficulties today. 
This picture is from Easter! We had Nana, Grandpa, and Pocci over for some ham sandwiches, salad, fruit, chips, cookies, cupcakes, etc. etc. etc.!
Mom made some very cute cupcakes. The first picture is a cupcake with real pansies on top. We coated them in egg whites and then sprinkled them with sugar! Aren't they cute??
The second is of a little Bird's Nest cupcake. (dyed coconut, and chocolate eggs :) )
Here are a few pictures above of Dad's birthday. Mom made him a wonderful chocolate cake with whipped cream and strawberries. In the morning we had our usual Buttermilk Pancake-Bacon-Egg breakfast!




These last two are some more from Mom's birthday! Just a close up of her delicious Bee Bop, (I tried doing the fried egg and failed miserably, so Dad stepped in and made two perfect ones haha) and a close up of the Fruit Tart I made her the night before her birthday!

Well that's it for April!
 I'll try to get on the ball in May and post atleast once a week!

Tahiti

Jenny and Thomas got home from Tahiti today! They had an absolute blast!! We all had a good time talking about our trips at the dinner table; they just got back from Tahiti, and Steve and I just got back from Seattle.
Jenny went scuba diving, went on a bike rides around the islands, ate delicious fresh fruit....etc. etc.!! They stayed on a boat for the first few days. Thomas's parents know how to sail so that's what they did for the first part of the trip, they sailed around from island to island..They had such a good time, and she brought home tons of pictures, stories, and a nice tan!


"Pocci? Paki? Pocky???"
