Hans, Lisa, Reily, Isaac & Lucas: May…and some April as well. Sheesh!

Ooops…forgot to post this before we went on vacation…

Here’s a picture of Isaac grooving with the maracas as the museum…Reily’s dancing in the background. Isaac really loves music and is so adorable when he dances!!

Here’s a photo of Great Grandma “GG” Schaal and Isaac…my grandparents recently moved back into the house they lived in for 50 years, after spending 2.5 years in a retirement center. They are happy to be back “home.”

We had a MOPS playdate to Casa Bonita, a Mexican restaurant in Denver that is known for it’s waterfall in the restaurant and cliff divers, gorillas, puppet shows, caves, etc…We had the whole restaurant to ourselves when we first got there!!

Here are some of the kids watching the divers…

Isaac was not happy about getting this picture taken!

Playing in the video arcade…

Both boys are now obsessed with Skee—Ball. Reily usually gets “0”, but occasionally gets a 10,000 and gets so excited!!

Hans and I took the boys to the Children’s Museum on Mother’s Day weekend, and we rode on the trolley downtown…it was a blast!

I love my family!!!

Isaac in front of the trolley…

Isaac really enjoyed the crawling area at the Children’s Museum. He was never able to interact with the exhibits in the past, so it was so fun to see him this time!

Daddy and his boys in the “nest.”

Firefighter Reily!

Mommy and Isaac—it’s Spring in Colorado!

I tried to get a nice picture of me with both of my boys for Mother’s Day…and this was the best one! Oh well…

We went to White Fence Farm with Hans’ family that night to celebrate Mother’s Day…the boys LOVED it!

We had a little scare with Reily a few weeks ago—he’s had a cough for a few months, but one day it got really bad. I took him into the doctor right before they were going to close, and to make a long scary story short…It looks like Reily might have the beginnings of asthma. It’s not regular wheezing-asthma though, but one where he coughs instead of wheezes. It was so sad, he was crying and screaming during the breathing treatments, and I was there alone with both Reily and Isaac—I think I cried more than he did!

Reily loves riding his tricycle, and he is so good at it now! He can zoom down the sidewalk and wants to go on a ride a couple of times a day!

This is an old picture, but I thought I’d include it…Hans went on our denomination’s Men’s Retreat up in Estes Park with a few guys from church and they did the ropes course…for a guy who doesn’t love heights, he sure looks happy up there!

It’s garage sale time! We went out a few weeks ago and stopped at a garage sale, and Reily found a marble set like the one at Grandma and Grandpa’s. He couldn’t even wait to get home before he tried to set it up! I’m wondering if he might be an engineer…he loves figuring things out and putting things together like this…

I had to snap a picture of Reily at the arcade at Walmart. If he’s good while we’re shopping, he gets to go “play” in the arcade after we check out. This motorcycle tilts and turns and he has a blast…I just like that he doesn’t realize that he’s not actually playing the game so I don’t have to shell out $.50 every time! :)

Here’s an old picture from the zoo of Reily and Joey playing the drums…

And here are the three amigos with the gorilla…Joey, Reily and Tori…

We went to Dairy Queen one night to get ice cream cones (Isaac’s new favorite food is ice cream), and it got MESSY!

These boys are so wonderful! Especially covered in chocolate!

Here’s a picture of me with Isaac at the “Astro-tot'” area of the Space Odyssey exhibit at the museum. It’s so fun to see Isaac enjoying himself and playing along with the older kids, since we went to the museum so much when he was little and just slept all the time…now he’s as into it as Reily!
