Conley's birthday

Someone is having a birthday!
You mean I can ripe this open?




Auburn, can you help me out?





mmm... tasty.

So much cake, where to start.






Oh, what is this stuff?

Mom and Dad have been holding out on me.



How does it taste with a spoon?

I highly recommend having a birthday!




Conley turned one at the beginning of May. Here are a few updates at a year: He can say mom, dad (his favorite word), ba (Auburn), dog, duck, quack, and almost has cow and ball done. He pulls up to everything and cruises along furniture. He loves being on his feet, but he still likes to crawl for speed. He is also starting to climb. He loves dogs, books, legos, playing with Auburn and destroying things like towers. He also loves being outside. The moment he is in his stroller his chubby little legs just start kicking with excitment. I feel like his favorite foods are milk, bananas and grilled cheese. He has a favorite blanket that he likes to sleep and snuggle with. We just love our little boy and can't believe that he is already a year old. Happy Birthday bud!

So cute! You know, Emily never did the destroying towers thing, but it is Gianna's favorite way to "build".

Prague

So this week Simon's parents were in town visiting, and we decided to take a little weekend trip. The night before we left we decided on Prague. None of us had ever been there, we didn't have to drive over the Alps, and it was relatively close only about 3 and half hours away. Before we left we had to make sure that the rental car could drive to the Czech Republic, because apparently not all rental cars can, they have to be a certain type. I still don't know why. To make our adventure even crazier, the bag with Simon and my stuff in it somehow didn't make into the car. We did not make this discovery until we were at our hotel. Luckily, Auby's stuff made it and we had our coats and gloves. We did however, miss our thermals it was very cold. I'm sorry that there aren't more pictures of Auburn. She was bundled up in her stroller. Prague is a really neat city and has a lot to explore. Here are some of pictures..... St. Nicholas Church, where Mozart once played t...

reading

Auburn has been asking me to teach her to read.  So, I decided to try and just see what would happen.  She just barely turned four and I didn't want to push her, but she was excited so we started.  I am also not a fan of German Kindergarten (preschool here) and I know that she needed some extra stimulation.  Thank heavens for the internet and a knowledgeable sister-in-law.  We have been doing word family crafts, a sight word caterpillar and working on phonics.  There are so many wonderful resources out there to make learning to read fun.  She is really reading now and loves it.  She picks up books and reads the words she knows and asks us for the ones she doesn't know.  She is sounding words out and totally amazes me.  Right now she will read to anyone that will sit down with her.  reading to Uncle Seth and Conley  This is a common scene at our house, and makes me so happy.

movie of our trip to Mexico

Simon made a video of our trip to Mexico, Guatemala and Belize. Since I haven't gotten around to posting about the rest of our trip (that happened a year ago), I am just going to post the link to the movie on youtube.  Hope you enjoy!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLnUgh7HfbM
