Funny Ryan

Can't forget our little Pie. Anyone who meets him falls in love with him - he's so funny and so cuddly. We are so blessed that he is ours!!!

Easter Eggs

Easter Pinatas

I had told Andraya that I was making paper-mache with my kids at school (they were making planets for our Science unit), so of course she wanted to try it also. She decided that the shape of balloons was the same shape as Easter eggs, so we decided to make an Easter egg instead of a planet. She helped me make the paper-mache and put it on the balloons, and then she and Ben both got to paint their own eggs. They had a lot of fun! We even decided to fill hers with candy and take it to Grandma's house to use as a pinata!

Planting Season

Since planting season is upon us (of course we have to wait until the new snow we got this weekend melts), we thought we would change our background to something appropriate for Spring - what better than John Deere tractors!!! We'll be taking some pictures of Daddy and the kids planting sometime soon!

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!!!
