The weather here has been pretty AWESOME lately, so we have been taking advantage for sure!

6 Months & 3 Year Pictures

Instead of over paying at a studio and ending up with a ton of left over pictures, we decided to just do our own this year.  Ben and I took the kids to Keehner Park.  Here are the boys looking quite cute.

6 Months of Adam

Happy half birthday to my sweet, non-sleeping, rolling, sweet potato and apple loving, chunky little guy!! I can't believe he's 6 months already! Life sure does move fast.  I love watching my babies grow and develop into their own person but I will always miss them being so little.

Fun Times Around the House

We sure have been keeping busy since Lucas' birthday!  April seems like it just began and now it is coming to an end already.  It's been an exciting month in the Hale House! 

Adam has started solid foods!  Unlike his big brother, he LOVES them.  Lucas wouldn't eat any solid foods until he was about 10 months (until he could actually chew on soft food  - he refused all pureed foods).  Adam has only had sweet potatoes and apples so far.  We are excited to try some new veggies soon though!

Lucas started potty training on the Sunday after his birthday party and is doing AWESOME! Sunday morning we started him in underwear (except for nap and bedtime).  He's had just a couple of accidents, but overall we couldn't be happier!  Our boys are growing up way to fast.

 Chef Lucas!
Sweet Potatoes!! Nom Nom Nom
Wait, these are kinda good!
Is that all I get?
Lucas loves pushing Adam around in his little stroller! Thank goodness for nicer weather!!
Ben is putting in a rain water catchment system and of course he has his favorite little helper out there with him all the time.  And a special thanks to Ben's dad for coming over to help too :)


One of my favorite new pics!  This boy sure does love spending time outside with his daddy! 
Planting lilies with grandma.
Our neighbors across the street are getting a new porch.  So when the cement truck came during lunch time we definitely had to move the chair so Lucas could watch.   He was in heaven!

Lucas decided this year that he wanted an airplane birthday party.  So I went straight to Pinterest and got to work :)  We had our family over to celebrate our big guy and had a great time :)
"Happy Birthday to you!"

Look who's 3

Happy 3rd Birthday Lucas Patrick! I can not believe that it has been 3 years already.  This little guy is the best thing to happen to us (and then Adam ;) )  At his 3 year appointment he is up to 36.5 inches and 33 lbs.  He is technically on the "shorter" side, so I am expecting a growth spurt soon.
Daddy made happy birthday eggs for breakfast!

Luckily it was a super nice day, so we got to go outside!! Of course we had to blow bubbles!
Present time from Mommy and Daddy!
Real tools, just like daddy and some new puzzles.
Special birthday treat - His very own icecream cone from our favorite place - The Cone



I'd say hi liked it ;)
