First Strawberry Picking Trip

May 24, 2011


We went to Vollmer Farm to do our first strawberry picking with Caroline!

Caroline loved picking the strawberries herself.

She usually doesn't like strawberries, but she LOVED the ones directly off the vine.







































I made strawberry cake and the icing from scratch from the strawberries we picked. It was SO good! It was definitely the best strawberry cake I have ever had.

21 Months Old ~ April 30, 2010

Photos from Caroline's 21st Month



Caroline loves coloring with her Daddy!



Caroline had a blast playing basketball with her Daddy. She was so proud of herself for getting the ball in her hamper. Here is a video of all the excitement!







Caroline loves playing on our church's playground.

She has just amazed us at how she will do the whole length of it all.

I've been trying to capture it on video for a while now and finally got it.

It took a little coaxing and here it is.


Here is Caroline playing with her golf set.

I think she is practicing to golf with her Poppa one day.

Here is a video of her practicing.



This is our lovely set-up for the tornado warning that we received while David was away at a campout. It was definitely NO fun, but we were blessed to not have the tornado come close to us.




My cuties...LOVE this!

Family Easter Picture!



Caroline loves to go feed the ducks so we went as a family to enjoy them again.

She is so cute with them!







Fun in the attic. She thought she was the coolest being able to go up with Daddy.



We've been trying to train Caroline to use a blanket before we transition her to her big girl bed and this is how I found her one day. From the perspective of the door, I thought she was completely covered.



Family Movie Night

We watched a Mickey movie and ate pizza in the living room. Caroline loved all the special fun!



She loves pizza!




Our neighbor's son, Noah, has this John Deere tractor and he let Caroline ride it one day.

She had a blast! I was amazed at how well she could drive it.

She had never gotten on one of these before this day.

A Visit from Grammy & Pops



David's parents visited during April as well.





They brought Caroline a Spring Basket and she loved it! We, of course, rationed the candy. She loves getting to pick an egg every once in a while and eat the goodies inside!




Caroline loves to play in Grammy & Pops' car. She has an inflatable ring on her head. I thought it was too cute!

Yay! Finally time to eat!




Listening to Daddy talk about Easter



Caroline absolutely LOVED hunting eggs! She was an expert. Her basket was filled by the end!

Loving the candy!





This is Caroline's friend, Lily. These two girls REALLY love each other!






Here is a video of Caroline swinging. This is one of her absolutely favorite things to do! She heads straight for the playground at church as soon as she sees it.

A Visit from Nonna and Aunt Kiki!

April 7 - 12, 2011




Mommy's Mom and sister came to visit in April. We had a great time!







We went to the lake and had a picnic and fed the ducks.


This is one of our favorite things to do and we all had a blast!











Caroline's first time to Chuck E. Cheese's




Caroline was MESMERIZED by the animatronic Chuckie





Fun family picture since we had someone to take it!



Caroline and Aunt Kiki - She really loves her Aunt Kiki!!!!!









We visited the playground in our neighborhood while they were here.



I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these picture of Caroline and Carrie. They are priceless!






I still love to watch Caroline sleep. Notice where her blanket ended up.

Caroline had fun "hiding" in these clothes while we were shopping.
