Easter Eggs 2013

Tonight Kueffer and Mommy decorated our Easter Eggs...Kueffer was really excited.  Okay, maybe a bit too excited considering DYE is involved! ;) 

We had a great time selecting colors and then asking Mommy to make some special designs on some of them.  Let's just say that Mommy is not that great at Star Wars characters, but can make a really nice bunny face or monogram! 

I'll keep working on that for next Easter. ;)

Egg Hunt 2013

Today was the Meadowbrook Easter Egg Hunt and it was so much fun!

Aunt Bobbi and Max met us there and Kueffer's best buddy, Cole came along too!

The boys had a great time decorating Easter cookies...

 

dying eggs...

and then the HUNT!

 

The boys were definitely happy with their loot and were pumped up on sugar!

(Daddy...the life of the party!)

 

Kueffer had to say 'thank you' to the Easter Bunny after the party because

 we all had such a great time.



The 'NEW' Dawdy

The Dawdy's have added a new member to the family...LEO!

We were so happy that we were selected to have Leo- he is a beautiful 4 year old and EIGHTY pound chocolate lab.  His owner could no longer care for him and we were anxious to meet him...once we did, we knew that he was the perfect addition to our family.

Our cat, Lucy has even warmed to him and he is very sweet to her as well. 

Kueffer is sure to reassure each of them that he loves them daily...it is just too cute!

Spring Break 2013

We had a wonderful time in Colorado this spring break!

Kueffer took his first ski lesson and LOVED it!  Daddy even reunited with the skis after many years and was a natural (again).  We enjoyed the week with our great friends - skiing, tubing, enjoying lots of yummy food and wine, and the big hit....'Hot Tub'!  The boys would yell 'HOT TUB TIME MACHINE' and were ready to enjoy it. 

 

It was a great week and we hope to go back skiing again next year.

 

Two ski bums enjoying a little apres ski!;)

 

PS- more videos to follow of Kueffer skiing and tubing...so much fun!

St Patty's Day 2013

This St Patrick's Day we were on Spring Break in Colorado!

Two very cute leprechauns!

We went on spring break skiing with our good friends, the Colpitts.  Mommy and Mrs. Colpitts (kit) went to college together and Brodie and Kueffer are only 2 weeks apart in age! 

 

Even though we were away from home, we definitely knew how to bring the 'luck of the Irish' with us to our condo!

 

I hope that your St. Patty's was just as fun. :)

Snow Day Fun!

We have been lucky enough to enough a few snow days the last couple of weeks . 

We have had lots of fun enjoying the snow.

Kueffer and Daddy went sledding last weekend and had a blast! 

Today, we got more snow and it was perfect for snowballs and making a snowman!

 This is Kueffer and 'Coney'.  Kueffer wanted to make a cone headed snowman.  Who knows?! 

Completing Coney's look is a sugar cone hat, tomato eyes, and pepper nose.  Kueffer then decided he needed ears.

 Snow Fort!

Our little snow angel

 

We hope that you are all enjoying the snow and staying warm.

Our little snow plow

After our snow storm last week, Kueffer really helped to clear our 12" of snow. He was singing and shoveling. Daddy can't wait until he is older and can really shovel some of this stuff!

Kid Hoops

Daddy and Kueffer enrolled in kid hoop basketball this month and are having a wonderful time!

 The kiddos do drills with their mom or dad while 'Coach' directs them in what to do.

 So cute watching them learn to work together.

 Kueffer loves it!

Way to go, Kueffer!

Reading

 Kueffer got a new Star Wars book for Valentine's Day.  He loved it so much, he could not wait to share it with his buddy Cole.

Loved catching them 'reading' to one another.  So sweet!

Preschool Valenitine's Day party

 Mommy was lucky enough to get to volunteer in Kueffer's classroom for their Valentine's Day party!

 The children had so much fun playing outside, playing musical chairs...and some of those kiddos are serious about their musical chairs!  You would have thought that the winner, Jack had just won a gold medal!

We also got to make a special craft.  Mommy was the helper at a table full of girls, so she got her fill of glitter, pink and purple! :)

 

It was so much fun watching Kueffer play with his friends on this special day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Kueffer's love of all things Star Wars played into his Valentines for his preschool classmates. 
Kueffer and Mommy made this special 'light saber' valentines- and getting Kueffer to write his name on 16+ cards was no easy feat!
He kept reminding Mommy and Daddy that he had SEVEN letters in his name!

We hope that everyone had a wonderful and Happy Valentine's Day!
We feel very blessed to have our sweet 4 (and a half) year old sweetie!

Bitty Hoops!

 Kueffer played on a YMCA Bitty Hoops team last month.  It was definitely an experience...They held 3 practices and then 3 GAMES!  Yes, real games.  Or real for 4 and 5 year olds. 

 The coaches deserve A LOT of credit for just getting the boys to stop hugging and actually attempting to dribble and shoot. 

 Kueffer had so much fun and actually made a basket in a game! 

(of course, Mommy missed that shot!)

 Magic Kueffer in action!

I think that this is right after his basket

Great job, Bombers!
