Mason's Birthday Eve

 Mace got to open one present the night before his birthday.

 He was very excited to see what it was.

 A baseball shirt!!

 He wanted to wear it right away.  Then Daddy told him they were going to a big baseball game.

 He fully enjoyed his first ball park experience.

 Sissy and Pop Pop were there.

 Cousin Ryan and Aunt Sara too.

He had all of his favorite things.  A hotdog, chips, and a diet coke.  He's ready to turn 3! :)

Cowboy Kids

We got about 14 trees removed from our backyard last weekend so we had a little clean up to do.  We gave the kids their cowboy boots and put them to work.  "Hey kids, let's pretend we live on a farm!"  haha

Look at that sweet little face.  I LOVE to smoooooch all over his face.

Linkwood

Can you tell we are enjoying being back on the "mainland" and closer to family.  Here are some more pictures of our time at NeeNee and PopPop's house last weekend.

 Of course the kids were back in the swing, this time we had baby Ryan too.

 I love this sweet picture.  Ryan was named after Uncle Arthur.  Ryan Arthur Redmer.

 This doesn't look like it will turn out well...

 RyRy tried to challenge me to a hula hooping contest.  I beat him.  ;)

 Here's where the rope situation ended up.  They created a pulley system.

 This is a cute picture of Ike and Lucy.  She looks like a puppy but will be 7 years old next week!

 Pretty girl.

 Weeeeeee

Mason's turn!!

Salisbury Zoo

Last Saturday we were back on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and took a little trip to the Salisbury Zoo.  Here are some highlights.

Crabs and Cake!

 The kids got their first "crack" at picking crabs last weekend while we were visiting cousins in Deleware.  Mason liked banging with the hammer.  Julianna actually ate them.  It was fun.

 Look how happy she was when a big hunk of meat came out! ha

 She is so into it.

 Look at that smile.  Beautiful girl.

 Whack!

 We decided to bring a little birthday cake surprise for Mason since his birthday was in a few days.  BATMAN!!

 Happy Birthday to you.

   Blow...

 Posing with Pop Pop.

 Baby Ryan was being a silly boy.

 My boys.

 Cousins!

It was another great visit with family.  What can beat crabs and cake?!  NOTHING!
