Another new Oliver hobby...Mountain Biking!

Not only are we golfing now...but we headed out to Issaquah and Duthie Hill to join Arnie in some mountain biking adventures and I think we have found another new hobby...

Getting the rack on

All ready to roll (Dad - can I get a new bike?)

There was a short stretch on the road before the trails started up

Cruising down the trail

Good times

We skipped that jump for another day

Oliver got off his bike and checked out a few of the trails and jumps...

Enough said...

Here is one of the rails that these mt bikers ride on...Oliver needed a closer look

Katie surprised us with a biking chocolate cake after our ride

The girls had built an amazing fort that weekend...

And both Ruby and Oliver loved it!

A little biking collage.

A new found passion for Oliver...Golf!

So Oliver and I have made it out a few times in the last month to go putt putt and to the driving range.  He wants to actually get out on the real course, so we have decided that he needs to go to the driving range at least 10 times before we venture to a par 3 course...

But in the meantime, he's loving it!

At Willows in the Bears Den...Oliver is growling back at the bear recording

In preparation for the driving range...

Just a bunch of guys practicing their games

A little collage from the driving range - pretty good form for a 4 year old!

Just a couple inches away from his first hole in one

Julia's 2nd Birthday

A few weeks ago - cousin Julia turned 2.  It was a lovely day and a ton of fun...as you can see by the photos.  Unfortunately we don't have a photo with Julia and the kids, but everyone was having fun!

The blow up toy in full effect and Oliver sliding off of it

Here is Oliver and Ruby taking a break on the toy

Julia's first car and letting Ruby take a spin

She's so aggressive...defensive driving Ruby!

Ruby was having fun playing in the toy house

Someone can't pass up an eight scoop ice cream cone - even if it's not real

Oliver had a blast taking the powered car for a spin

Ruby bouncing

Oliver tackling!

And for a few more May random photos...

Grandma Joan, Oliver, Ruby, and Daddy went to Sesame Street Live in Everett...here's Oliver waiting to get in!

Ruby wasn't so sure about all the noise and characters, but once the show started she had a blast.

Oliver and Oscar

And Grover...

And Kendall!

Here are all the kids on the Sesame Street steps.

Cotton Candy...

The Barth family was in town and we had a great visit at Pogacha.  Here is a picture of Oliver and Jeffrey playing hangman.
