DC Trip and Birthday #1

A couple of days before Eve's baby blessing, Tyson's parents flew into town. We saw some really cool things and even had the first of 3 birthdays for Reed. On Saturday, Tyson's sister, Tifani, also came into town. So, we had a full house in our apartment! It was so much fun to be able to spend time with them! Here is a look at what we did (Sorry, no photos of our game playing. I forgot):

The National Zoo

Reed and Grandma Walker - she brought crackers - Reed LOVED them and therefore, found a friend :)

In front of the frog!

Eve was, of course, sleeping most of the time

Reed loved the meerkats!

This gorilla walked right up to the window...

The other kids were all nervous to go up to the window, but not Reed!

Reed also loved the turtles and tortoises!


Great Falls National Park

The water is super high due to all the snow...

It looked so beautiful!

Reed and Grandpa Walker - Grandpas seem to be Reed's favorite people.

A bit chilly, but still so beautiful.

This stick shows where the water was at during those year.....crazy!


Dulles Air and Space Museum - Udvar-Hazy Center

The whole group...

Eve, doing what she does best....

SR-71.....Transformers 2 anyone?

Reed with Grandpa, of course :)

What?Eve awake?!

Nope, asleep again...

Grandpa kept spinning Reed around these poles. Reed was in heaven!

Not exactly sure what was going on - Reed looked like he was attempting some kind of acrobatic move.

The Space Shuttle - Enterprise (yes, Star Trek fans made sure that is was named Enterprise instead of the original name, Constitution)


3 CPA's and 2 babies :)


The Pentagon Memorial

I love this shot....

Where the plane touched down

A person's name is printed on each bench

Reed just mozying

My dad met us there....2 Grandpas?! Reed was absolutely in heaven.

Daddy and Reed


That night......

Bath time is always a good time....especially when daddy pours water!

Again!

Happy boy Reed.....still loves the water.

Ha ha ha ha!

Daddy is being silly!

The water pouring master :)

Aunt Tif and Eve


Reed's Birthday Celebration #1

He got a kite...

and sidewalk chalk - always a must! Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa Walker!

Aunt Tifani gave him a shirt, shorts, and some sandals!

Thanks, Aunt Tif!

Eve got a swimming suit, a shirt, and some pants from Aunt Tifani, and it's not even her birthday! Lucky duck!

Eve looking at Reed's presents....



Reed was a bit tired at this point, but we still had a little birthday train for him...2 years old! I can't believe it!


Getting ready to blow it out...


He did a great job blowing out the candles and didn't even try to touch them! That's my buddy :)

So much fun! Reed seems like the kinda kid that's adventerous, yet loving. I like him, and have never met him. Happy birthday to Reed! What a sweet, cute kid.
Hey! On campus there is an Udvar-Hazy building! It's the same guy, I'm sure, because it's about airplanes, etc. Whoa!

2 years old already! How fun that he got to spend it with relatives, too! Elizabeth's big day is around the corner as well...our kids are growing up so fast!

Happy Birthday to Reed!
So, I got this little plastic pitcher (for watering plants) and Caleb thinks that is the best toy in the tub! He dumps it out, fills it up, dumps it out, fills it up ... hours of fun. :)

Those pictures of Eve in her baby blessing dress are beautiful!
