Movie Night!

Every Friday night we have movie night. Ross always makes a nice comfortable sitting arrangement with lots of pillows and blankets for the kids. William will even sit and watch for a few seconds before he gets up and starts doing something else!

Landscaping project!

So this started out as Ross fixing the big hole that was under our front door steps. Bunnies were living there, plus it put a crack in our sidewalk by the house. Then, it turned into a big landscaping project! Ross first put a patio in, then we took out the hastas that were there, and added a bunch more bushes and flowers. It turned out wonderful. Ross put alot of work into this. It took about a week for him to finish! Great job Ross! I wish I would of gotten a before picture, but we pretty much added the curve on the left and brought out the landscaping by about a foot and a half from where it was.

Here is Ross pulling out the hastas.

The finished project!

Entertainment Night!

It was entertainment night for Messiah Lutheran, and the preschoolers got to participate this year! Grace was so excited for this night. She has been talking about it for weeks! We almost didn't make it since I went to Messiah, instead of ILC. But we made it just in time for the skit!


Can't remember the name of the skit, but it had to do with hats! It was super cute!

Day at the park

I took the kids to Riverview Park after Sunday school today. We had a nice picnic by the river, watching the geese float, and a dog chase after his toy in the water. William especially liked to dog.

Charlie, trying out the balance beam.

William, being his silly self.

Grace doing the monkey bars. Can't believe she has figured this out already! She is growing way to fast. I wish there was a freeze button on kids. :)

Charlie's last day of school.

And, Charlie is also all finished with school. Next year he will be off to two times a week at Trinity!

Grace's Last day of Pre-School!

Can't believe a whole year is done with and Grace is now a Kindergartner. She loves school, but now she can't wait to ride the school bus! Here she is on her very last day of pre-school.

They had an ice cream party at school, and families were invited.

Here they are getting ready for prayer.


William was not into the camera today.

Tball night!

Finally, I remembered my camera for T-ball. Grace was playing third base here. She says she really likes T-ball. I really enjoy watching her play!


The boys watching the game. This is rare that these two are standing next to each other watching the game. Thought I would capture the moment

Grace up hitting. Coach Dan was pitching this time. He pitches three times, if they don't hit it, they get out the T. The first time at bat, Grace hit it the first time. This time she had to use the T. But she sure can hit the ball. Must take after her mother!:)

Twins Game!

Ross and I took some well needed time to ourselves and headed to the Cities to watch the Twins in their new stadium. It was so nice, to say to say the least. Our seats were in the Legends Club. It was a cold game, but we made it through. It was fun. We hope to take the kids sometime. Maybe when they start getting better and their good players are all healthy. This picture is from my phone. I can't find the cord for my camera to transfer pics.

T-ball

Grace has been in t-ball now for a couple weeks. One would think I would remember my camera one of these nights! Tonight, while they were out on the field, William took it upon himself to put a helmet on and get a bat. He actually started walking out into the field looking ready to hit the ball. Unfortunately I still haven't gotten a picture of Grace playing! Ugh!

Grace's Haircut

Grace's hair was getting very long, and she doesn't want anything done with it except headbands. So I decided to cut it. Here she is before.


and after


She had told me how short she wanted it, and I went a little shorter than she asked for, but she says she loves it!
