Memorial Day Pool Trip
Went to Nate and Brek's for some Pool and Grilling, just Dad and Julianna. Had a blast and Julianna with the help of a swim vest really came out while swimming doing dives off the board, stairs, and the side of the pool by the end of the day. It was pretty awesome...hats off to Chris and Kristin for helping Julianna find out confidence.

Easter 2016
Easter was a lot of fun with the Easter Bunny dropping off some great baskets for the kids to enjoy which included some Croc Boots which Adrian loves as well as a trip to Grandma's to see their cousin's and do easter egg hunting. I have probably three times as many photo's as I've posted but somehow got it down to 12.

Merry Christmas!
This was the first year Julianna fully understood Christmas. She knew she was getting presents, she knew Santa Claus would be coming and she was blown away by our Holiday decorations, especially the Christmas tree. Christmas morning was magical in our home as Julianna could not believe her eyes when she saw what Santa had left for her. Both kiddos did great and we are already looking forward to next year. What a blessing to have Julianna and Adrian in our lives. Merry Christmas to our readers!
Enjoy!
