Last week we enjoyed celebrating Brian's birthday as a family. On his birthday I made him a big breakfast and then Papa came to spend time with the kids so that we could go on a picnic lunch date. We ate lunch at Fish Lake and went for a 4 mile hike around the lake. It felt great to get some time for just the two of us and of course the kids had fun with Papa. It has been warm so we have taken our boat out several times! We love being on our boat, it is our happy place.

For Brian's birthday, he wanted me to make the pretzel strawberry jello dessert that Mom would always make. I was so happy that it turned out! We ate the entire dish in one day!
The boys dancing and singing together!
Last week Eli caught an enormous bass!
I am thankful that our kids have amazing friendships right next door. They have been writing cards back and forth. These are some sweet cards for our boys from their friend Hans.
Greta started the trend with the neighbors, she is always drawing and writing cards to her family and friends. She drew this sweet card for me.
I love my Greta girl. Four and a half is a fun age. Greta is always full of excitement and joy. She reminds me to live in the present moment.
On Sunday we went for an adventurous hike with Papa.
The boys love playing in our muddy backyard and sometimes we let them go for it. It was fun to see them have a blast together!
More sweet cards from Hans to the boys.
Eli is an amazing Lego builder! He is so creative!
Greta was playing Super Greta again.

The brothers love to build together!
