More Scrapbook pages!

I had the hardest time falling asleep last night. Probably because it was so quiet in my house! Anyways, here are some more pages for you to see! Have a good weekend!

Working the weekend!

I have to give credit to my husband. I am working the entire weekend, and he hasn't seen his family in a while, so he decided to take all three kids back to his parents house, which is a little over 3 hour drive, all by himself. He says he is doing it so I can catch up on my sleep, but I think it was just to have some help with the kids. Either way he is a saint! Hope everything goes well. So there won't be any pictures of the kids for the next couple of days. I thought I would post some of the scrapbook pages I have been working on. I am way behind and have been using my free time (when the kids are napping) to scrapbook. I know, I should probably be sleeping as well, but I would rather scrapbook! I can't get the pictures any larger without making them fuzzier, but if you click on them, they will enlarge! Hope you enjoy!

No waterpark today!

This morning Grace had school and a field trip. They got to ride on the bus and tour the bus station. She has been so excited about riding a bus! Afterwords we had plans of heading to the Chaos water-park in town and meet Aimee and her son Chase. Once we saw the very long line of people waiting to get in and the school bus parked outside, we decided to change our plans and head to the mall instead. We also met April and her two boys, Bryce and Sawyer. At first Grace was pretty upset about not going to the waterpark, but quickly forgot about it once we got there and she started playing with her friends!

Off to the Dentist!

I had a dentist appointment today. I had to get two fillings fixed, one was cracked and the other wasn't done correctly, so they had to redo it! The best part, they were on opposite sides. One on the top left, and on one the bottom right, so for half the day my mouth felt really weird.

After naps Ross took Grace and Charlie to the Children's Museum here in town. They love to go there.

It is Fixed!

One of Charlie's favorite toys is his fire truck. Unfortunately it has been out of commission due to a weak siren. Toys are never the same if they don't make the loud noise they are suppose to make. But now it has new batteries. He played with that thing all day.

Grace has started to really play with her Barbies more. She loves to dress them up and play wedding. Her new thing is to make them do somersaults. She is really starting to use her imagination with them.

Will has been started on cereal. If made right, he really likes it! I think he looks like such a big boy in his high chair.

Another one of those days....

Ross's flight got canceled again today due to weather in the cities he was suppose to fly into, so it was a nice surprise when he came home at 6:45. Grace and Charlie's favorite snack is ice cream. Grace's new favorite way of eating it is with cool whip, sprinkles and chocolate syrup. So we thought we would treat them with some.

Trying so hard..........

Will surprised me tonight. He was lying on the floor and when I peeked at him, he looked like this...

he has never gotten this close to rolling over. He actually got his top leg to lie on the ground, but couldn't figure out how to get that arm out of the way. Any day now.


It was a nice day out and since we were all home we decided to attempt a walk again. This time we made it all the way around the block.



Charlie is feeling much better. He has almost got all of his energy back. I guess he missed his mom yesterday. He just wanted to sit on my lap for nap time! I couldn't resist.

Waterpark of America!

We had these plans back in January I think to go the cities for a day with Ross's side of the family. Unfortunately, Charlie still had a fever and horrible cough, so Dad, Charlie and William stayed home and Grace and mom headed out for a girls day with Ross's family.

We started out at the Minneapolis Childrens Theater and saw the play Mr. Mcgee and the Biting Flee. It was very cute. Grace seemed to enjoy it, however she kept whispering in Zach ear that they were going to the waterpark afterwards. The Flash photographers there were nice enough to let me use their set to get a picture with all the cousin and the sign. Grace thought that was a nice smile to give to mom for a picture!


Afterwards, lunch, then Anita and I attempted some shopping at MOA since we couldn't get into the waterpark until 4pm. Not a great idea on our part. It was packed. We made it to a couple of stores, waited to try some clothes on, but the lines were about a half hour long, so decided to quit! Then we hit the waterpark. Grace was pretty reserved at first. She doesn't like water in her face, but then Zach showed her how to go down a slide and then she was unstoppable. She had a blast. We even went down some bigger slides!



Supper with the Lendt family! It was a good and busy day. Was nice to get home and see Ross and the boys, who Ross said had a good day. Charlie started feeling a little better after his 4+hr nap and started to play a little again with his toys. I think it was good for Charlie to have some alone time with his dad. We will have to try the waterpark another day with him!

I didn't notice Isaac's(sitting on moms lap on right side of picture) face until after I posted this picture! Too cute! Only one's missing are Ross, Charlie and William!!:(

Not a fun day!

We didn't do much of anything today. Charlie was pretty sick with a fever and bad cough. He didn't feel like doing anything except watching the movie Cars. So, I gave in. So not much of a post today, but I though I would post a cute pic of William. Didn't think you would want to see Charlie at his worst! Enjoy.

We tried!

What a beautiful day it was today. We attempted to get outside today and take Buddy for a walk, but that quickly came to a end. We made it to the neighbors driveway and Grace slipped on ice, hit her head and refused to walk anymore. So we turned around and went home. She was too upset for a picture at that point.

Off to work!

I am off to work today. Grace still doesn't feel well, but Ross is home for the next two days. So, there won't be a post tomorrow. I asked Ross if he would post, he said probably not, but " I will take pictures." So today's post has nothing to do with the day. I took some video of William talking the other day. Thought I would share it with you. Enjoy and have a great day!

Sick Child :(

I was suppose to work today, but had to call in since Grace was sick. Yesterday she started with a harsh cough, and developed a fever later in the day. Ross and I even discussed who would call in sick if we needed to. I always seem to lose that battle! I thought maybe it would of been a short sickness, but she woke up this morning coughing up yellow phlegm and still had a fever. Nothing like having to call in on your third day back at work. Oh well. She started to complain that her throat hurt also, but won't let me look at the back of her throat. So her day has consisted of lying on the couch, with her two favorite things, her blanket and thumb!


This morning we did some tummy time with William. Charlie always likes to try to help hold his head up for him. We still need to work at the tummy time. Charlie then decided to give William a nice kiss. He isn't that sweet very often, he usually likes to poke or push him. Kind of cute!

Happy Valentines Day!

Hope everyone has a great day and spends it with the ones you love! Our day has been busy already. Church in the morning was crazy. If you were in church you know what I mean. Charlie insisted on screaming through most of the service! Great huh! Thought I would post some pictures of the kids in their Valentines outfits! Please ignore the laundry above their heads. I have been doing laundry all weekend. I guess that is what happens when you head back to work.

Beautiful Saturday!

What a wonderful day it was outside today. Now I say that and you would think I would have posted some pictures of the kids playing outside, right. Nope. We didn't do much in the morning, and the neighbor girl Chloe came over to play with Grace and Charlie. In the evening we had a co-worker of Ross's and his wife, Eric and Beth Vrablic over for supper and some games. It was a good time.

TGIF!

Today I took Grace and Charlie to the sports center. I met some friends there with their kids. Grace really had fun playing with the 1 year olds Sawyer and Jake.







Charlie just kind of kept to himself and played with cars, the soccer balls and on the slide.

Later in the day the whole family went out. We attempted pictures, but I wasn't pleased, so we will try again. Then we took the kids out to eat at Red Robin. Yes, we took all three out to eat, I can't believe it myself. It actually went pretty well. William slept the entire time, so it made it a little easier. The balloons they get there help also.

Grace and I went through her valentines she got at school today as well. When I would say who it was from, she would say " Awe Owen thats so nice. I love you Owen".

Busy day for all

At Grace's school this morning, they had their valentines party. We decorated a pail and made valentines for her to hand out to all of her friends. Ross was home with the kids in the morning as I had to work today, and couldn't find the camera. So needless to say, didn't get a picture of Grace with her valentines for school. The kids went to daycare after Grace's school and had a good time. Deb and her family ended up taking the kids to the waterpark today as they have free admission on Thursdays in February (bless her heart for taking all my children as well). I had a difficult time finding them when I went to pick them up after work. There were alot of kids there! Deb said they had fun, were a little scared of the water however. William even got his feet in the water! So pictures today have nothing to do with their day, just some older pictures I took and never got to send or post!


Grace and mom went to the salon for a day. Grace loved getting her hair washed!


Grace at the dentist. No cavaties!


William, with one of his smiles that just make you melt!


and Charlie in his favorite Midwest Seed hat. Thanks Uncle Keith!

PALS certified!

Every two years I have to re-certify for PALS, (or pediatric advanced life support). I passed the class and can now relax for another two years until I have to do it all over again. The kids went to daycare today for the first time in about 12 weeks. They are always so happy when I pick them up. I love it! Volleyball tonight for me, so Ross is putting the three to bed himself!

A quiet day!

Today was a pretty quiet day. Grace had school in the morning and I took Charlie and William to the open gym they offer at Noah's Ark on Tuesdays. Charlie had fun, didn't socialize well with other kids though. We will have to work on that one!


Tummy time for William. Grace was trying to help William lift his head up.


Not so good at lifting our head, but he loves to look to the left!


Charlie seems to be waking up from his naps with a little frown each day. Today I caught one of his nice frowns. Grace likes to try to help him which just makes him more upset.

Ross has volleyball tonight after work, so it is all me to give three baths and put three kids to bed! Yikes.

Everyone is home!

Ross's flight got canceled for the day so the whole family is home. In the morning Ross took the kids to the sports center while I studied for a renewal class I have to take on Wednesday. In the afternoon we took the kids sledding and ice skating. Grace is kind of getting the hang of ice skating. She gets nervous to fall though. Charlie however doesn't care too much whether he falls. He just gets back up and goes. William went with as well, but he stayed in the warming shack for most of it. It wasn't too cold out, but cold enough that his nose got red pretty quickly! After sledding, some ice cream. The picture is of Charlie cleaning out his bowl! Couldn't resist!

He survived!

And so the day came for me to actually work a full shift and for Ross to watch the kids 12 hours alone! He said it went well! When I arrived home they were playing hide and go seek, Grace's favorite game. Charlie loves it to, he usually just hides wherever the last person he found was hiding! Ross needed to relax a bit after I got home from work. Well deserved I think. William was exhausted and couldn't even make it till his last feeding! Must of been a busy day with dad!
