Celebrating with Cousin Chase

Cousin Chase invited us to the Children's Museum to celebrate his 6th birthday. We all had a great time. This is the birthday boy riding on the carousel.

Cousin Ava enjoyed playing in the ice cream parlor.

She served Clayton a huge bowl of delicious ice cream!

Clayton working hard with the Legos.

This was the closest I came to getting all four of the kids in a picture. They didn't have time for pictures- they were ready to play!

Grandpa Roger was spending some time with Clayton teaching him how to build.

Grandpa Roger and Clayton are standing outside of P.F. Chang's, where we ended the celebration with a wonderful dinner. It was great to have the entire family together for such a fun time. Thanks Cousin Chase for including us in your special day!

A Weekend Adventure

A few weekends ago Brian took a fishing trip to Lake Erie. He had a great time with his dad, my dad, Uncle Steve Gottschalk, and Evan. It sounds like they really had a lot of fun. While he was away doing this.......






Clayton and I had a great weekend adventure with Nana.

We started our weekend off with a fun trip to the zoo on Friday.

After the zoo, we traveled to Brown County and spent the night in a cabin at Abe Martin Lodge.

Clayton swinging on the playground at the State Park on Saturday.

Clayton enjoyed riding in his stroller as we shopped at Nashville.

Petting the donkeys at Nana and PawPaw's house.

Sunday afternoon we headed to the Children's Museum. Clayton loves the polar bear.


Our handsome little boy. He loved watching all the other kids play as well.

Playing in the water.

The sand box was probably Clayton's favorite. We had to pry his little fingers off of the rake and drag him away so that we could do something else.

We had such a great time at the Children's Museum. We left there and met Daddy and PawPaw for lunch downtown. Whew! What a fun..and busy weekend.
