We are keeping busy, as usual.  We continue to try to go on as many family adventures as possible.  Family time, an upcoming dance recital, fun playdates with friends, and tee ball pretty much sums up these last few weeks.  We hope you enjoy the pictures and videos as much as we do.

Family fishing date at Birdsong Pond.  First four casts by each of us ended up in a fish--not too bad at all!

We love having fun with our friends:

Hartke/Hauan date.

Fun with Jacob.

Julia's dance recital is quickly approaching.  She will be dancing to "Stuck on You" by Elvis.

The first Tee Ball game was two Saturdays ago.  Oh man, was it FUNNY!  These kids did a great job and it was so much fun to watch.  The best part was that no one got out and everyone got to run the bases. :)

First time batting.

Even though Calboy's not quite 4, he's still a Tiger, compliments of the Hartkes having
an extra hat and shirt for him.  He's soooo proud to wear it and loves being a Tiger too!

The tee ball season is off and running for local four and five year olds.  Julia is on the team with her buddy Jacob with their Daddies serving as coaches.  Our friend Brian is helping out too--Julia is pretty excited to have her church world be one in the same with her new tee ball world as well.  Orchard Park hosts a big parade to kick off the season.  Her first game is on Saturday, we're all pretty excited.  GO TIGERS!

We also headed north to Canada to spend time with some Sem friends.  Enjoy the latest pics!

We have a new rope swing!

Our friends, the Polzins, from the Sem came to visit us last weekend.  We met up in Canada and had a great time together.  Thanks again for making the trip, Polzins!

The crew

Since we moved here, we have wanted to take the boat tour that takes you down right by the Falls...
with our friends in town, it was a perfect time to try it out!  It was AMAZING!!!

Yes, our little pumpkin is already 5 months old.  She continues to be a happy baby and is starting to sit up for short amounts of time.  She loves to spit and watch her big brother and big sister.

He thought this was hilarious!

Frozen Fun

Our big girl turned FIVE on April 28th.  (Wow, where did those five years go?!?!)  She decided to have a Frozen birthday party and pretty much invited everyone she knew from Orchard Park.  51 people showed up for the big day, we all had such a great time.  Activities included: outdoor "snowball" fight, pin the nose on Olaf, Frozen themed food, create an Olaf puppet, and opening presents.  Paper snowflakes hung from the ceiling of the church Fellowship Hall and little guests showed up in Frozen attire.  She was one happy little girl!

"I'm five!"

Birthday Princess Elsa and Olaf. :)

We enlisted the help of our "big girl" friends to be face painters for the little guests.

Our special friend, Norm.

Buddies.

Opening gifts--great time had by all!
