A Visit From Sarah and Eric

Two more pictures I decided I couldn't leave out. Katelyn with her Aunt Sarah and Uncle Eric with the boys. Thanks for coming! We love you!

One last picture before we said goodbye! It was a great weekend. We miss them a lot!!!

Next we went to an interactive art museum. I didn't get a lot of pictures of the kids together, but it was fun! Jonathan was trying to concentrate hard and smile.

Sarah and I at the races! It was hot but the boys loved seeing the horses up close.

We also went to the horse races. Jonathan was trying to be "cool."

This might be my favorite picture!! They are so cute!!!

Cousins

Jonathan and Josiah little buds. It is so fun to watch them play together.

Buddies again!!

Above: We went to the zoo. Uncle Eric decided to treat the boys to a Carousel Ride. I was a little worried that now Jonny would want a ride every time we came but as you can see from his face that wasn't the case at all. I forced him on thinking he would like it by the end but he did not. Later we were walking around the zoo and a man said to me "Oh, you're the mean mom who made your kid ride the Carousel!"
Below: Katelyn LOVED Uncle Eric. She went to him whenever she could. It was so sweet!!!

My sister Sarah and her family came to visit at the end of May. We had so much fun and took a lot of pictures. I tried not to go crazy and post too many but I had it was hard to choose. We were so thankful they could come and treasure our time together.

More Ordinary Days at the Bergmeier's

Katelyn's new love...water and mud!

He also loves to dress up.

Jonathan still loves to play his guitar and sing. His other new favorite is playing the air drums. Don't ask him to sing for you, unless you have ear plugs!

Looking all grown up!

Kate decided she wanted to sleep in the big bed too.

Story time with daddy

Brotherly love...sometimes Katelyn likes it sometimes she doesn't.

We have potty trained Jonathan...more to come on that fun later. Here is Katelyn ready to be potty trained next.

Mother's Day

I had a wonderful mother's day! After church I got to take a nice long nap, then we went out for pizza. We took a walk and ended our day with ice cream. I big thanks to Chaun for making me feel so special. I am blessed and thankful to be a mom.

Saying Good-bye

Last night together...We'll miss you!!!

Getting muddy!

Jonathan and Alexa loved playing together.

This month we had to say good bye to our fantastic friends and neighbors. We were so sad to see them go. We loved playing with them and I loved having a friend so close to talk with, swap kids with, and borrow forgotten groceries from. We miss them a lot and are thankful for the time we had with them.

Fun in May

Chaun was sweet and let me go away for a girls weekend. I went with my friend Kristen from Louisville and we met up with our friends from Waterloo. I had a great time catching up with Jess!

Just a sweet picture of Daddy and his girl.

Katelyn has no fear. It makes playing at the park an adventure for me. I am always chasing this girl. She loves slides!!

Kate being cute

Jonathan the working man playing baseball. He loves this hat and wears it ALL the time.

Happy Birthday Jonathan!!

A very happy birthday boy with his truck cake.
Thanks Kristen it looked great and tasted even better!

This is how poor Katelyn felt for the party. Poor girl had a double ear infection and was as miserable as she looks.

Taking a lunch break from all our hard "work." Yummy sack lunches (PB & J, crackers, fruit, and a juice box).

Our friends Jake and Jed (with Luke hiding behind Jed).

Playing in the dirt with Kaitlyn

Who can build the highest tower? Good job Jed!!

Playing games...racing to fill the bucket with dirt.

Jonathan with his friend Alexa!

Jonathan turned three on April 13th. He wanted a truck cake, so we had a construction party. Here are his friends (some new that day) at the party. It was a perfect day for a party at the park.
We love you Jonathan!

Flying Home

I was worried about Katelyn being a wiggle worm on the plane. But that was the one good thing about her being sick. She was snuggly the whole way.

Jonathan loved having his own tray. He put his snacks in the little cup holder. We had to stop in Milwaukee, get off the plane, back on the same plane and take off again. The second time we took off Jonathan was excited to put his candy Smarties on the tray. He had to wait until we were in the air to put down the tray. He fell asleep waiting hanging on tightly to his candy. He didn't wake up until we landed and was pretty sad he didn't get to eat his candy on the plane. He didn't want to get off the plane, even to see daddy (although he ran through airport yelling "Daddy! Daddy! when he saw Chaun. It was the most precious thing I have ever seen).

Poor Kate did not feel good (we found out when we got home she had a double ear infection). Here she is getting her last snuggles with Grandpa before we boarded our plane.

Heading to the plane...

After our fun trip to Iowa we flew back to Kentucky. It was Jonathan and Katelyn's first plane ride. Jonathan was so excited and they both did great!! Jonathan did freak out a little when I had to put our stuff (including his shoes) on the conveyor belt to go through security. He thought he was losing his things forever.
