Calling All Super Heroes: Owen Turns 4!

Owen Donald Kahler turned four years old on April 7th!  That cause for a big celebration on April 13 at his house.  Super Heroes was the theme for the family birthday get together.  

Happy birthday, Owen!

The best of the Super Heroes: Owen, Landon, Cade and Kasen.
These 4 boys will always be our super heroes!

Lunch time.  Owen's favorites:  pasta, veggies, fruit

Chow down boys.

Time to open presents.  Big brother helping.

Super hero figurines and legos were appreciated.

Watching as presents are unwrapped.  

Yummy cupcakes!

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you,

Easter in Indy

We flew to Indianapolis Wednesday afternoon and stayed until Monday.  Those five days with Brent, April, Cade and Kasen went by so fast.

Brent and April had a meeting Friday morning so
we got to do Easter projects with the boys.

We were fascinated by the penguins.

EASTER!
Early church, Easter brunch, and naps.  Brent and Don went to the basketball regional final game.  The rest of us enjoyed the nicer weather at the park.

Home from church

Easter brunch.

The sunny and warmer weather sent us to a
neighborhood park on Easter afternoon.

Monday morning and time to fly home!  We had a wonderful time celebrating Easter with Brent, April, Cade and Kasen.   LOVE our time together!

March Madness!

What is March with basketball?  We spent part of a week in Des Moines at the boys' state tournament.  Then the next week we went to Chicago for the Big Ten Tournament.  Go Hawkeyes!  Both events were fun even when I took a book or iPad to the games.  We enjoyed eating out in both locations.  Chicago was a bit crazy over the weekend with St. Patrick's Day celebrations.

A Day with Boys!

We love to have Landon and Owen overnight and for the day when Landon doesn't have school.  We met Melissa and Scott in Iowa City Thursday evening and brought the boys to our house for an overnight stay and a Friday of play.  We do so love retirement!

Time for the gym!

Shirts and Skins game at the Y.
When we got out of the car Landon said, "I wish
Cade and Kasen were here."  

Dunk!

Time with toys at the gym.

Landon trying out his new ball game.

Time for some outside play in the snow!

An afternoon of Monopoly with Landon while Owen napped.  I think I finally won a game.

What a FUN day with these two!
