Aiden's Baptism

Today was baby Aiden's baptism back in Sleepy Eye. It was a special day for him. He slept through the majority of the day though! Ohh to be a baby again!

Nap time with Grandpa

William was extremely tired this morning. Probably because he was up a bunch a times throughout the night, according to Ross. We are trying to keep him to one nap a day. Didn't succeed today! I gave him to Grandpa to sit on his lap. Ross said William fell asleep about 5 minutes later! Too cute. Gotta enjoy these moments, because he won't want to do this forever!

Charlies new bed!

When Charlie needs to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, he very quietly takes himself. I want to believe it is because he doesn't want to wake us up....but in all honesty, I am not sure. After using the bathroom, instead of crawling back into his bed, he makes himself comfortable on the floor in the bathroom and falls back asleep. Here is how Ross found him this morning as he was leaving for work! Cute kid!

This is not his first time doing this. I found him one night, completely naked, lying on the rug with his blanket perfectly covering him up!

Fevers!

William has been under the weather for the past couple of days. Well since Monday actually. High fevers, lots of naps and love needed for this little boy. I figured something was up since Sunday during church he sat on my lap and didn't move, just cuddled. Today he broke out in a full body rash! Plus, now he feels better and is back to his normal crazy self!

Snow Storm!

Charlie got a new Lego set after church so he broke it open as soon as he got home. Ross thought it was better for him to play with Lego's, then Grace's miniature princess dolls.

Then the snow storm. Just when I was getting used to it being so warm out again. It started here around 11am. Our neighbors are on vacation all week and asked if we could snow blow their driveway. Ross got out after supper and did theirs and ours. The kids went out as well for a good hour. No idea how much snow we have gotten, but the driveway was all clear of snow. I am sad to see so much back again.

Spa day for Buddy!

Ross and I usually give Buddy a hair cut and bath ourselves. However we decided to treat him to a puppy spa day to help him get a good hair cut and bath. He looked great when I picked him up, plus he was so excited to see us! We just might continue to do this for him.

Happy Valentines Day!

I had to work today, so I set up a little surprise for the kids and Ross when they woke up. I made a french toast bake for them and had it in the oven when I left for work, so when they woke up it would be ready. I also set the table nicely for them to enjoy their breakfast.

Ross also had Grace put together her Valentines for school tomorrow.


Since I had to work today, Ross didn't get a picture of all three kids. Men just don't think that way I guess. Oh well!

Meeting baby Aiden

Ross's sister Autumn and her husband Mike had their first child about a week ago. We finally got a chance to go and meet him. Grace has been asking since he was born to go and see him. She held him for a good while. He is so adorable.

Charlie surprisingly asked to hold him also. It only lasted for about 5 minutes, then was off doing more "important" things like throwing their pillows and tearing around their house. He is such a boy!

Then it was finally my turn. I have to get my baby fill in.

Ross also held him.

And a close up of the little cutie!

Super Bowl Sunday

Ross had some coworkers over for the Superbowl. We had Bears fans, Vikings fans, and only two Packers fans. Well three, Grace likes to think she is a Packers fan now. She really likes Ross's friend Adam, who is a packers fan, and decided that night she is a Packers fan now. She thinks it is pretty funny when she cheers for the packers and dad tells her not to since she was born in MN and should be a Vikings fan. We will see how long this last.

She gets pretty attached to Adam when he comes over. She sat by him for the majority of the night. I thought little girl crushes weren't suppose to happen till after they were 15 or so???

St. Cloud Friends

Our good friends, Keith and Anna, from St. Cloud came over for a visit for the weekend. They have a son, Mikko, who is two months younger than William. It was a good time. We don't see them often enough.

Then we attempted a picture with all 4, that didn't go so well.

Playdate!

Grace had Bryce over today after school. Ross said they played well together. While the boys napped Ross pulled out the alphabet puzzle for them to put together.
