First boat ride of the year

The perfect end to our day on Sunday was a boat ride from St. John's bridge all the way to the waterfront. It was the first boat ride of the year and Aden was ecstatic.
It was the first boat ride for the girl...she enjoyed the ride and proved to be a trooper just like her brother.
Aden got to "drive" the boat for a bit...

Sunny day at the park

It was such an awesome weekend and on Sunday, we went to the park to let Aden run around and we soaked up the sun. Darin fixed us a picnic lunch and spent a couple of hours just letting the boy(s) play. We then walked 8 blocks to NW 23rd area to a toy store and for some gelato for the boys and a hot milk bubble tea for me. It was such a beautiful sunny day and it was so nice to be outside!




Aden's ready for the big kids swing






Kadence slept through the entire outing


Golf cart ride...


Aden & Darin enjoyed the nice sunny weather on Friday and took the golf cart for a spin around our neighborhood. Good old cart is back in action after some minor issues, we're rethinking plans of selling it since Aden's having a good time having it around. Maybe we'll just keep it at home instead of at the beach?!

What are you looking at?

Enjoying some mat time...

All bundled up with nowhere to go...

During the stormy weather at the beach, we decided to brave the elements to give Aden a few minutes on the beach since we were getting cabin fever. I bundled up Kadence, thinking we can get out for a bit. After seeing people walking on the beach getting sand blasted and running from the hailstorm, I decided that the truck is a perfectly comfy place to hang out in while crazy dad & brother play outside for 15 minutes.

Smiles


I love watching her sleep, especially since she always smiles in her sleep. And I finally got a shot of that smile, must be some nice dream she's having...
















Later on that day, while playing in her swing, I caught her smiling at the toys hanging on the swing. She kept doing it and I'm glad I got the chance to capture it!

6 weeks has passed...


Kadence is already 6 weeks old! Time is flying by. It's amazing how when I was pregnant with her, 6 weeks seemed like an eternity. Now I wish time would slow down so that she doesn't grow too fast. She's already cooing a lot when you talk to her and she started smiling a couple of weeks ago. She sleeps a lot and she started getting on a schedule at night. She does a 5-hour stint early on in the night, if only I can get her to do it around midnight, closer to when I go to bed. Right now, she usually wakes up around 2 or 3am and after a feeding, goes back to bed for another 2 or 3 hours. So I can't really complain, it's just hard to get used to waking up in the middle of the night again. I'll take the lack of sleep any day rather than the agony of the whole pregnancy. She's definitely worth all the pain though!

We went to the beach last weekend and unfortunately, it was storming the entire time we were there. It was at least 30 mph winds and hailing on and off. We were stuck at the house and although it was nice to chill with the kids, we were looking forward to long walks on the beach and hanging out on the sand. Oh well, sunnier weather is almost here, right? Here's some shots at the beach house...




Aden goofing off

Paying close attention to what dad is saying...

Sweet moments



Seeing these two interact has been such a joy...I try my best to capture each moment.

Pump it up


We went to Pump it up with the Johnson's a couple of weekends ago. It was a lot of fun, Aden really needed to burn some energy and it was the perfect place to do it.

Enjoying the sunset

Beautiful sunset, perfect photo-op for Aden & Jade May
