We were able to meet Ron, Ginny, Cara and Craig at the Scottish games again! The kids LOVE going and we do to. Unfortunately, we forgot our camera this year so I have no pictures(maybe if there are some out there they can be emailed to us). Brady is now wanting to play the bagpipes, he is all about the bagpipes. I wouldn't mind having a bagpiper around the house! :) Bethany is of course into the Celtic dancing, she is still dancing around the house!
Oh, did I mention they have the best corn dogs ever at the Scottish Games?? They are always perfectly cooked, awesome breading...LOVE THEM!
The weather was perfect, it was a great time!

5 months old!
We can't believe Georgia is already 5 months old! She is definately a roly poly baby. She weighs a little over 17 lbs now. She is so cute! She has started getting up on her hands and knees and is rocking back and forth. I'm afraid crawling is right around the corner!

Dinnertime...er...Sleepytime!
I'm sure this is the first of many times for Georgia to fall asleep at dinner. :)

School's Out!
Brady is an official 2nd grader!!!
He had a pretty good year, he loved his teacher Mrs. Peterson! He has learned to read so well. We love listening to him read to Bethany. He's a whiz at math just like his dad(not like his mom). I think he is ready for a little school break but he is excited to start the 2nd grade in the fall!

Georgia is 4 mths!!
Georgia Marie turned 4 months on Tuesday!!! We went to the Dr and she weighs 15lbs 1oz and is 25 1/2" long. She's a healthy little girl and Dr Davis was very impressed by her neck strength. She loves to sit up!! He said she is definately starting to teeth, this has been the earliest that any of our kids started. She's a drool princess!!
Seriously, if you haven't met Georgia yet you need to, she is so adorable! Her smile is so awesome!!

First cereal feeding! It was delish! She gobbled it right up and got a little ticked if I wasn't ready to give her more after she swallowed. :)

Fun in the Ohio Sun!
Wow, it was an awesome weekend! Gotta love the hottness! We got a lot done around the house and also had some play time. We had soccer and baseball Saturday so it was a busy day, we were all very tired by the time dinner came around.

Trip to Illinois
Wow, it's been a little while since I've posted on here. It has been crazy! During the beginning of Brady's Spring Break we decided to take a quick trip to IL to visit family. It had been WAY to long since we had gotten back there. We had a wonderful time(minus the not-so-fun cold I decided to obtain).
We were able to see both sides of my family. We went over to my Aunt Patty's house and spend time with her family as well as my grandpa and grandpa Cherry. We hadn't met my cousin Sara's daughter Ellie yet. She is such a cutie and a little pistol! My cousin Tracy's daughter Brooke was there also, it was amazing to see how tall she was! We missed Clayten he was at a sleepover at a friends house. It was so great just to sit with them and catch up on stuff. We missed my other Aunts and cousins but we hope to see them really soon!!
Tracy, Ellie, and Patty

We then decide to try and take in one Lincoln Site since we didn't have time to do all of them. So we went over to Lincoln's Tomb. In the parking lot we got an extra treat though! A mini Oscar Mayer Weiner Mobile had stopped so we got our picture taken by it. We walked on up to the tomb and walked around, Brady seemed pretty interested. We each took turns rubbing Abe's nose for good luck and snapped some pictures. A nice man even took our very first family of 5 photograph!! :)

"Angry" Georgia with Abe (she'll like it when she's older)
Family of 5!!
After we went site-seeing we headed over to meet the Birches for dinner. Almost everyone was there, except my Aunt Barb and Uncle Dean and their kids David, Val and Sarah, and Nathan(my Uncle Jeff's son) wasn't there , Oh and Holly and Aaron BUT we'll get to those two in a few. We were able to finally meet Nevan, Stephanie's son-can you say Wild Man! haha He's a cutie!!
The kids had a blast running around with him and playing with Pappy's tractors and trucks. Grandma had a nice spread as always. Yeah my dairy-free diet went right out the door(luckily we had the ok)!
The next day we went out to eat with Grandma and Pappy and then went over to see Tim and Lana's new house and then over to Jeff's new house. Both were very nice!! We then headed out to the farm and went to the new shed/building that Jeff built. Wow, it's huge! So great! Brady got a ride with Uncle Jeff from the farm to the shed on a BIG tractor, he was in heaven!! Once they got to the shed they sat on every tractor, truck, 4-wheeler you name it! I wish we were closer so Brady could be out there more, he loves it. I remember my memories of the farm and riding with Pappy in the tractors, I think I rode more than I walked!!! It was great!

Once we left the farm it was time to start heading homeward. We headed over to my cousin Holly and her husband Aaron's house in Champaign to spend the night. On the way we ran up on fields of wind turbines. It was so Awesome! We have always seen them on tv but never up close. There were so many and so many more being built! We took some pictures.
We had a nice visit with Holly and Aaron, they happened to be pet-sitting another dog too(they have 2 dogs themselves). It was crazy, the kids loved it though! haha We were able to go out to eat dinner with them and saw Elvis re-incarnated at the local Walgreens. I wish I had my camera!
Before we left for Ohio the next morning we drove around U of I and then went to IHOP for breakfast. This was Brady's one request for our mini vacation. I don't think he realizes that IHOPS are in OH too, he just remembers going there when we were at David and Val's wedding a few years back. Anyway, we went had some yummy pancakes and then headed home.
We had a terrific time with everyone. We wish we had more time to stay longer but hopefully we will be able to make it back this summer for an extended time. There are so many family and friends we still need to see and want to see again.
We love you all very much!!!
