Happy Birthday, Grandpa!

A very special "Happy Brirthday" to my Grandpa! I love you and miss you. I hope to see you soon!

My mom and I did our very best to take a special picture for you, but I actually just wanted to play with the sign! :)

 Here are some pictures of me and my Grandpa!

Thanks for playing with me and making me laugh!

Love,

A Fish Named Luke

Check out Cohen's new favorite book....

Look closely at who illustrated the book....

Jeffrey M. Lien! That's my brother. How awesome is this? When they came out to visit he casually gave it to Cohen as a present. I was so surprised and excited when I saw that he was the illustrator. I am so proud of him. He is very talented and I hope that he continues to share his talent with others. :)

If you want you can buy a copy by visiting http://ajgoodwin.com/ or you can buy it on Amazon. 

Enjoy!

Love, Katie

P.S. I think this will ALWAYS be Cohen's favorite book! :)

Jumpin' With Cohen

When we first started putting Cohen in his jumper he was very calm and focused. It was so sweet to see him try to grab the toys in there and just play quietly. Now, he is crazy in there! The first video was taken April 1st. The last two videos were taken a few days ago on June 18th (the day he stayed home from daycare because he had pink eye!).  I love the last video. It just makes me smile. I love this kid so much! :)

Zoo, Pizza and Cupcakes

When Jeff, the fam, were here we took a day to go to the National Zoo, get pizza and then get cupcakes in DC! It was a beautiful day and we had a lot of fun (of course)!

 Pizza!!!!! As you can see we didn't get just any old pizza.  We got jumbo slice pizza.  There are two places in DC that were featured on Food Wars (I think) where people had to decide which place had the better jumbo slice pizza, Pizza Mart or Jumbo Slice. Creative names, huh? Anyway, Dan and I have tried both before, but I thought it would be fun if all of us went to decide which one was better. Unfortunately only Pizza Mart was open at the time. It was soooo goood though....

 Unfortunately I was too busy eating pizza to take any more pictures and this was all I got! Next it was off to Georgetown Cupcake. This place is where the show DC Cupcakes takes place. It was fun to go there, see the tiny shop and eat cupcakes. I bought 6 for Dan and I to try and share...Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl, White Chocolate Raspberry, Chocolate Banana, Key Lime, Coconut and Chocolate Ganache. They were pretty good. (I have since not been eating like that and getting back in shape!)

 Cohen would not take his eyes off this cupcake.  (I think he has his father's love for sweets!)

 Uncle Jeff gave him some frosting and left a little evidence on his lips! 

Thanks guys for the fun day! (Unfortunately, Dan couldn't come with because he had to work!)

Love, 

Katie

Hangin' out in Mt. Airy!

While Jeff, Mandy, Hannah and Tyson were here we spent some time at Mandy's Dad's (Ray) house. We had a lot of fun there. The first day we went there was memorial day, and was sweltering hot! We went to the park, played bumper pool and sat outside. The second time we went over there Ray had a bounce house/slide and a big blow up sports thing. Everyone brought food and Ray cooked up burgers, hotdogs and had crab to eat.

 Cohen loved  playing with this ball! (I will post the video shortly)

 

 Look at that excitement!

Playing with Aunty Mandy and Uncle Jeff!

 Playing with Payton

 Oops! Bonkin' him on the head! Cohen didn't even notice.

 About to go down the slide! Cohen, me and Tyson

 In the bouncer!

 OMG!

 Me and Cohen!

 Uncle Jeff gave Cohen horns...look closely!

 Jeff and Dan playing together :)

 Dan and Cohen

 Dan and Mandy ate crab....

 ...while Jeff and Tyson (and myself) ate hamburgers and hot dogs! :)

 This was at the baseball part of the sports thing. The little spout at the bottom had air coming out of it so it would lift the ball and you could hit it. Cohen just liked trying to catch the ball!

 And he liked just sitting over the spout and letting it blow air on himself! Haha

 Ray and Dan playing the beanbag game.

Hannah, Cohen and Tyson on the way back to our place.  (I told you that Tyson is usually looking at Cohen in the pictures!)

More to come! 

Love,
