I love my Boys!

Andraya's Birthday

Just some pictures from Andraya's 5th birthday! She sure had a great 3-weeks worth of parties, cakes, presents, family and FUN!

An American Girl Weekend

Andraya and I, along with my college friend Jaime and her daughter Chloee, ventured to Bloomington, MN, to visit the Mall of America and the American Girl Store (It was our birthday weekend!) It was a true "Girls' Weekend!" We had a great time! The girls got to go swimming at the hotel and then had a blast shopping at the American Girl Store and riding the carousel at the Mall of America. Andraya decided not to get another doll (she had just gotten one for Christmas from Santa). Instead, she got Mia's (her doll) hair done and then got matching outfits for Mia and herself! Maybe we'll have to make this an annual event!!!

Andraya's Birthday Teaparty

Andraya got to have some friends over for a birthday teaparty on March 7th. Her cousins, Jordyn, Kennedy, Randi and Morgyn, came over to help her celebrate. They got to play a teaparty game, make bracelets, decorate cupcakes, play with American Girl dolls and scrapbook. They each also got to try REAL tea (but nobody liked it, so they had peach pop instead!) It was a fun day!

Our Little Valentines

We always have to take pictures in the new Valentines shirts that Grandpa Dan and Grandma Cindy buy the kids - don't they look cute! Draya and Ben were so excited to pick out Valentines this year to give to cousins, daycare kids and Draya's preschool class. Draya picked out Tinkerbell and Barbie valentines (of course) and Benny picked out Mickey Mouse Clubhouse valentines.

Ice-Fishing with Dad

Andraya and Benjamin had a GREAT time ice-fishing with Seth today (Sunday - 18th) at Lake Pahoja. The weather was finally "warm" enough (about 30 degrees) for him to bring them out. They each caught about 5 fish and then had fun making angels in the snow! If it was up to Seth, they would go fishing EVERY day!
