Family Fun!

We enjoyed our time with John, Nicole, Annabelle and Grandpa and Nana over the weekend! Thanks for coming up, loving on us and building some fun memories!

Happy 1st Birthday!

Over the weekend we celebrated Traeger's 1st birthday! What a joy and blessing this year has been. We're grateful for our little guy! I guess he thought this birthday thing was really funny!

Adventures in TX

We just got back Tuesday night from a wonderful trip to TX.

It was great to catch up with Mar'Sue and Elena and some of our other TX friends!

Luke, Traeger, Elena and Tanner exploring down by the creek!

Elena was such a big help with Traeger.

I really enjoyed my time with Elena but realized just how much I miss being with her!

It was a special treat to meet up with 2 of the Spiritual Formation couples from DTS. Jon graduated with Luke, and Jason is still working and going to school. We met Jason and Amy's beautiful, 2 week old daughter Savannah. It just so happened to be that the Fanns were in town for the weekend to attend a wedding! We were grateful they took the time to visit with us!

We picked up some donuts before dropping Elena off at school one day :O)

On Monday night, we went to a museum in Dallas to see "Body Worlds." It was super cool, and I would recommend it to anyone! After viewing the Body Worlds exhibit, we got to see what other cool things the museum had to offer!

It's all fun and games until...

Traeger swallows the ball!

Birthday celebration!

Traeger's not messin' around with his piece of birthday cake :O)

On Saturday, we celebrated Kieran and Traeger's birthdays. Kieran turned 2 on the 10th and Traeger will turn 1 on the 27th. We were blessed with a beautiful day and all the family and friends that made it out for the celebration!

Traeger made quick work of the cake. When he was finished he signed more.

First Steps!

We are so proud of our Traeger! Today he took his first steps!

Hello, Hello, Hello!

This morning, while in the church nursery, Traeger picked up a play phone, put it by his ear and continued to say hi...hi...hi! Here are pictures from home with him using his play phone.

Is this a sign that I talk on the phone way too much?!

It is such a joy to watch Traeger continue to grow and develop into a little boy!

Cool Dude!

A close look!

A new form of entertainment in the Hatfield house is watching the washing machine do its magic! Traeger's taking a close look to make sure it's doing its job!

toolin' around

Traeger has been toolin' around with his little walker.

As you can tell, he was having a blast with this whole idea of walking.

Happy 11 month birthday bud!

Well as all parents say and I'll chime in with them..."Where does the time go?"

We are in awe that our little guy is already 11 months old and not so little anymore!

With the weather warming up, we have been enjoying the outdoors. Traeger loves going for walks to visit the ducks by the pond, see the birds flying in the sky, hear the dogs barking and greet people with a friendly wave along the way. Traeger is not real sure what he thinks of grass yet. As long as he's chasing a ball or fetching a leaf or branch it's ok.

We're crazy about you Traeger!

Lots of love!

We have been on the road a lot lately. That meant all in one week Traeger got to see his Auntie Cori and the P boys, Nonnie and Grandpa and then Grandpa and Nana.

Thanks everyone for lovin' on us while we were around!

Traeger and Nana having fun playing together!

Hatfield Hotel

The Hatfield Hotel is closed after it hosted a parade of visitors over the last week and a half. It was a blast to see everyone and hang out. Uncle John, Aunt Nicole and Cousin Annabelle were our last guests over the weekend. We had so much fun relaxing and playing with the kiddos!

Traeger helped himself to Annabelle's peas, and she gladly shared :O)

They're on a mission to escape together!

Thanks John, Nicole and Annabelle for taking the time to come up and visit! We had so much fun hanging out and watching Traeger and Annabelle play together!

Boys Rule!

My sister and her boys came to visit over G spring break!

We ventured out for a walk to the park yesterday before the snow started falling!

We went to Sports Page for some 'competitive' bowling.

What would bowling with boys be if it wasn't a competition :O)!

Thanks P family for coming to visit and hang out with us northwoods folks over your spring break! Sorry you had to leave earlier than planned because of the silly April Snow Showers!

Chillin' with the Grandmas!

Thanks Nonnie and Grandma Jo for coming to visit for a few days!
We loved having you here!

Just my size!

Traeger loves to play with his 'house'. It is the coolest little play house. The doorbell rings, he can turn on the front light and his favorite part is crawling through the front door. Some generous woman from our church was getting rid of toys her kids had outgrown and gave them to us. We appreciate God's little blessings! They come in all different "shapes" and "sizes."

Bigger and better things!

Apparently, Traeger's toys are getting a little boring because as of late he has been opening and digging into every drawer he can reach. He's still working on the refrid. door. I'm sure he'll master that soon enough :O)!

Spring is in the air!

Grandpa and Nana spent some of their Spring Break with us. We loved going for a walk, playing Settlers and chatting. Nana showed Traeger his first Spring flower! They also watched Traeger for a day while we got away to Wausau! We really enjoyed having them here and look forward to the next time we see them!

Hotel adventures!

The Bohn/Patrick/Hatfield clans all met up at a hotel in Weston two weekends ago! We had fun hanging out and playing in the pool. Traeger even got in on action!

Daddy and Traeger getting ready to take on the slide for the 1st time!

Daddy and Traeger raced down the big slide a few times!

Happy 10 Month Birthday Traegaroo!

We celebrate our big guy who offically is pulling up on EVERYTHING (including a ladder step his dad just climbed), eating more table food than before, and waving hi to anyone who walks by! Daddy's football and basketball are two of Traeger's favorite toys . Another favorite is saying the word ball and pointing to it.
We love you bud!
