Tyler Turns 6

Tyler turned 6 last Tuesday. We celebrated with cake and ice cream and Tyler was the teacher's pet for the day.

He received a Birthday card from G Grandma and G Grandpa Steenblik, he wasn't that excited about open the card, until he saw the $2 bills fall out. Kate held the card as he read it. He's getting so big.

Opening presents is always fun, until he realized that some were clothe boxes, which he would unwrap, NOT open, and then push over to mom to take a look at. It was rather hilarious.

Chase fascinated himself with the sprinkles while the cake was be
being cut.

Yummy cake and ice cream...

Happy Birthday Tyler, thanks for having us over and sharing your special day.

Passed the Exam

I passed the Real Estate Exam...Logan and I are now Realtors. We've signed up under a friend who is a broker, Chris DeMartino. We meet Chris and his wife, Brenda while we were working on our first flip, they had just bought a house down the street to flip and had come over to see what we were doing. Since then we've become good friends and now we are licensed under Chris.

Be sure to give us a call for all your Real Estate needs.

Easter Weekend

Last Saturday, Ryan, Kate and the boys came over and we colored Easter eggs and baked and ate cookies.

I don't think Tyler was bored, more in deep concentration as he was trying to put two colors on the egg.
Little green fingers.

Chase love the color Green.

Sunday after church, they all returned for a little Easter egg hunt.

Tyler was swift to find the treasures.

Chase required a few hints. He's looking for his basket,
the arrow shows how close he is to it.

Yes, an egg that Tyler didn't find.

After dinner and more candy than the boys needed, we headed outside where Chase, who has taken to the Pop-Gun waited for the geese to fly by so he could "shoot" them.

The boys then took up a game of soccer.

Update {of no real significance}

About April 1st as I was looking out the kitchen window I saw two little chicklin's walking around..Yea! The Killdeer eggs hatched. While I was waiting for Kate's zoom lens to show up I went outside with my camera hoping to get some pictures, but this was all I could get, Mama, sitting with the little ones under her wings. By the time the zoom lens showed, the new family had ventured off to safer grounds and we haven't seen them since.

But look who else has found the garden. Yes, the turkeys are back, someday one of them will end up on the dinner table.
And the mega house next door is moving along. I figure another year or so and maybe we'll have neighbors living there.
