Strawberry Fields

I took the kids to the strawberry patch on Friday. We try and go every year, and the kids just have a blast every time. This year, we got there when they were closing, so we couldn't stay long, but everyone got plenty of berries, and they were gone by the time we got home!

"What's that on your face, Brock?"

"No, MOM!"

I Love Yous

Sophie has been talking more and more. She is starting to put sentences together. Lately it's been "Hi, Brock" or "Hi, Daddy", but within the last two days, she has progressed quite a bit. Yesterday, she was in the living room, and I was in the kitchen. She kept calling for me saying "Mama!" When I asked her what she wanted, she said "I love you." She did it again this morning. Another cute thing she is doing now is every time she sees a towel or rag she immediately starts cleaning something.

It's Time

I knew it was time for another post when I plugged my camera into the computer and it showed 364 new photos. Oops! I'm not going to post them all, but it just goes to show how busy we've been the last few weeks. Brock started T-ball, and he absolutely loves it! He will be so excited to play ball with the big boys in the next year or two. He also graduated from preschool! The pics can be viewed HERE!

First T-ball Game

We have also been taking full advantage of the warm weather. Seems like we are always outside and on the go!

Sophie's first time in her pool this year. She was a little nervous at first, but she warmed up to it eventually.Chad is on vacation all this week, and we just got back from our trip to Elwood. It was lovely to see the lake full again. Fishing wasn't the best, but that's expected with the water being so clear.
Better luck next time!

This pretty much sums up our whole fishing experience with Sophie...

Also, this weekend was Lindsey and Patrick's wedding! It was a beautiful ceremony and reception! I will share more pics once we get them. You can see some of the pics at http://alexandramatzke.blogspot.com/search/label/wedding
She will be posting more photos in the near future. Check out the rest of her stuff because she is an AMAZING photographer!

These are pics that Brock and I took:

The Bachelorette Party -
So many other great pictures;
although, none are appropriate for this blog. =)

Quick update on the kids:

Sophie is now repeating EVERYTHING! There have been a few words that we can do without her repeating, but it's so neat to see how excited she gets about learning new things.

Ella is smitten with Brock's friend, Max. Everything is about Max all of the time. *sigh*

Brock loves hanging out with friends, whether it's friends over at our house or Brock at their house. He will start swimming lessons in the next couple of weeks and will take them all summer. He told me that he is ready to go under water because all of his friends are doing it. Does peer pressure start this early? I actually gave him the "if your friends jumped off a bridge..." speech. He also likes tying his shoes because "Daddy's friends think I'm cool when I do it." *sigh*

Never a dull moment!
