On This Day...

On this day in 2003, this crazy couple started a new life together!

On this day in 2014, we had some great family time picking strawberries--our annual tradition that resulted in nearly 20 pounds of berries! Whoa! We barely moved down the row and filled two flats. John likened it to picking out a puppy:  you really want them all, but eventually have to stop somewhere!

 So beautiful and so delicious!

The boys climbed to the top of a hill on the farm. Brennan loved running back down the hill, but Owen attempted rolling down it and typically only succeeded in rolling sideways across the hill. He had fun anyway!

Saturday

Yesterday wound up being a fun, full, family day. A local fire station recently completed renovations and held an open house for the public. Fire trucks + little boys = good times.

 Future fireman?

 Scoping out the ambulance (yes, that is a snake tattoo on Owen's arm!)

After our fire house good times, we went to a place we had avoided since having kids:  Chuck E. Cheese. We attended a birthday party there, and the boys had a BLAST! They are currently in their room making Chuck E. Cheese out of Legos :) We capped off the day with some dear friends, Sweet Frog, and "The LEGO Movie" at the Byrd Theater. Fun times had by all!

Kindergarten Performance

A note to start:  this post is primarily for the grandparents. Now that that's out of the way, Brennan had his first school performance last night:  "Prime Time Nursery Rhymes". It was a lot of fun to see Brennan (mostly) participating with the singing and motions.

In the videos below, Brennan is on the far right. The song and rhyme they are sharing here is about "Humpty Dumpty".
