Does it Ever Slow Down?

The craziness continues with a visit to Nana Adele and Granddad Ralph in March. We wanted to cheer them up a bit, so the kids came and played with Uncle Mark's remote control trucks. They also went up into the canyon for a little adventuring. Uncle Mark made a fantastic meal that night and we enjoyed ourselves tremendously!

At the end of March, we headed up to LA to celebrate the 1st birthday of little Zephyr Blumberg. Andy and Kelly (the 'rents) invited us to this beautiful park where we enjoyed toy airplanes, a taco truck, and the yummiest cupcakes I've ever tasted! I think it's safe to say all the kids had a wonderful time...thanks, Andy and Kelly!

The rest of the pictures are our Easter photos. First, we celebrated Easter at our home in Carlsbad. Dane was so "decided" to dye the eggs and have an egg hunt. I think you can tell in the pictures just how "decided" he is! Ryan also got into it, but wasn't quite sure what was going on. Pretty cute stuff:) After our Easter at home, we headed up to the Nocita house for the BIG lunch and fellowship with family and friends. We had such an incredible time with the kids, and as you'll see, I think we all had fun BEING kids for the day. We were all so silly!

Thanks for checking in with the Roblees. We hope you're all having a great summer!

Dane: He'll be starting Preschool 4's on September 7th...we're so excited! (And so is mommy:))
Ryan: His first words were "uh oh," "awww mannnn!" and "racecar." Shocking. SO cute, though!



Fun with Uncle Mark:)





I just love this picture. The chair is so perfectly placed!
Flying airplanes at Zephyr's birthday party. A boy's dream.

Time to sing happy birthday!

And eat the best cupcakes ever!

Too cool...


I think it's safe to say they were pooped for the ride home to SD.
Nakey boy!

Dane was SO ready to dye Easter eggs. Look at that smile!

Ryan doesn't care about eggs. He just wants food.

Checking to see if the Easter Bunny came. I believe he did!
