Video of Addie

Here's a video of a couple things Addie has learned recently:

Some of Levi's skills

Levi's football skills:

Levi's scooter skills

Levi's counting skills

Birthday party!

 Ready to open presents (although he would have been perfectly happy to just play with the balloons-glad I didn't forget to have them at the party!)

 New sheet set from Nana!

 Reading his birthday card...

 Presents from Pops and Dottie:

 Addie got Levi a scooter.  She got a scooter for her birthday when she turned 2, so she has been saying all along that Levi would get a scooter when he turned 2.  He ended up getting a big boy scooter (like all the neighborhood kids have) since he rides it fairly well for a 2 year old (I guess he doesn't realize it's only supposed to be for ages 5 and up!)

 Daddy and Mommy got him a train table

 Baseball cake!

Sky Top Apple Orchard

We finally celebrated Levi's birthday!  Poppi, Nana, and Olivia came in town to celebrate.  Logan (Olivia's younger brother) was supposed to come, but got sick at the last minute.  Olivia was happy to fill in for him! 

 On Saturday morning, we headed to Sky Top orchard to pick some apples and play.  This picture is what I call "Classic Levi."  The boy loves to swing by his arms from anything and everything possible.

 He also impressed me with his ability to scale this wall:

 Made it to the top!

 Picking some Gala apples-they are delicious!

 Breaking the rules by eating one as we were picking...

 With Poppi and Nana

 Driving the tractor!

 How tall this fall?

 Here is Addie-look below to compare with her picture from last year.

 She's definitely grown!

More to come soon on the rest of the birthday celebrating!

Levi is 2!

It's hard to believe, but somehow, Levi turned 2 yesterday!  We have not yet celebrated due to our very busy weekend without any birthday festivities, but we did let Addie give him a card she made for him.  He has also received some gifts from friends at random times since we are not having a friend party for him this year.  More to come on what he is into these days as well as pics once we celebrate!  But for now, here's a pic of our little guy from this morning who can no longer be called a baby-he is officially a toddler:

Don't worry about the fact that the balloon has the word "dad" on it.  Levi thinks it says "Happy Birthday Levi."  A friend shared it with him whose dad recently had a birthday.  We don't mind used gifts!

The Rowand's visit

The Rowand family (my sister and her family) came to visit a few weekends ago.  We had a fun time playing at the house, going hiking (of course!), and playing in the pool.

Everyone is ready to hike.  The boys were in backpacks, which was a good decision.

 We all made it to the falls!  Here are the girls-Addie and Olivia.

 Logan and Levi

 The 4 cousins together.

 These 2 girls love each other so much.  Yesterday, Addie tried to convince me that Olivia was her twin.
