Spring Break Staycation

Matt's spring break was most needed! We had tons of family time at home and enjoyed the outdoors since the weather was phenomenally warm.

Our first mission was to potty train Silas. He was amazing! Accidents here or there but we are diaper free at this house now. Even at night time! Wahoo!
Silas insist sitting on the big toilet versus standing up or sitting in the little potty.
And this is how he climbs up and down from the toilet. We call him spider boy!

Our second mission was to clean up the backyard from the cold, wet winter we had. The boys were delighted to help with raking but after so often they went off to play.
Endless hours of laughter!
Hammock time as we rest!
And smoothies to cool us down from the heat.

Two practices for Jonas!
Playing first baseman...the next Helton:)
Smacking the ball off the tee was his favorite...wow!!
We found out that one of his coaches is the leader of our friends Bible study group. I could just tell God's presence is on the field.

Many days were lounging around reading books or playing Legos(of course). I loved watching my boys enjoy each other!
Thanks to Grandmom for giving several books on CD and thanks to Oma for a special place to sit.

More running around in the backyard and jumping on the tramp!
One evening we had Jonas/Silas' neighbor friend over, Kallie for play time, dinner and smores over campfire.


A brother is a friend God gave you-Proverbs

We loved having daddy around for a whole 10 days. It was a blast!
