Tys' birthday! What a fun day!

BIRTHDAYS BIRTHDAYS BIRTHDAYS!!!!

We've had a lot of celebrations!!!!
Justin, Rudi, Gideon and Tys' birthdays are all in March!

Tys is turning 2 on Wednesday the 24th!!!
We had a party for Gideon and Tys on Saturday, it was super fun!
Last week we celebrated the "big boys" (Justin & Rudi's) birthdays at Justin and Siska's house.

This was right before Gideon took a bite out of the cake ;)

Moriah & Nieko, almost 9 months already! They're so sweet!

The birthday (cow)boys!

Tys looking at pictures of tractors. All three boys (Gideon, Logan & Tys are all SO into tractors and loaders and trucks!!!)

The beautiful birthday cake!!!

Gideon and Tys took a break outside before they opened their presents!

The huge stack of presents!

A cute "little people" farm from uncle Cory & tante Katie!

Tante Siska made both of the boys a beautiful "quiet-book"! You should really see it, it's awesome! It has zippers, buttons, strings, Velcro, and all kinds of little things to keep Tys busy (and quiet...!)

happy birthday!!!!

Nieko's eating!

Nieko decided to start eating solids when we were in San Diego! Now he eats just about everything! We're very excited. Tys likes it too, and tries to feed him, which is really funny.

I don't know if I've told you that Peter (Rudi's younger brother) and his wife Miriam and their kids, Gideon and Moriah have moved into the house next to us (the house Rudi's parents lived before). It's so fun having them as neighbors!

Well, I don't really have any news. We've had a fun and relaxing weekend. We love Saturday mornings. Rudi gets to sleep in, and we usually enjoy a nice breakfast. Tys loves spending quality time with Rudi. On Saturday afternoon it started to snow, and I think it snowed pretty much the whole night. Sunday, on the way to church, everything was coated in a layer of snow, and it was just so beautiful. I regret not taking any pictures!

Here's some pictures of the boys;

Nieko, enjoying his carrots!

Tys and Nieko in their matching PJ's! This picture is from Saturday morning.

Tys decided to "read" a book on the couch. And he was showing Nieko all the pictures, it was so cute! If you look close, you can see Nieko drooling ;-)

This was later that day. We were actually talking to my dad in Holland via Skype (on the computer)! My dad played his harmonica and the boys just loved it!


I love their matching outfits!
