kitchen

My mom and sister would be so proud!

It is so special for me to watch my boys play with my sister's play kitchen. I remember when she would play with it. If only she were still here to play with the kitchen!

Jack's afternoon nap


Here is what I find when I go check on how naps are going...I'm not sure what's worse...the dog sleeping on our bed or her head on my pillow! Agh...

Henry's 1!


I can't believe Henry is one! Crazy how fast time goes! Here are some pictures from his birthday party that we had last night.

He got a Cozy Coupe car from us, so that will be fun if the snow ever melts! He also got his favorite thing in the whole world....a ball (well a wide assortment of them) from our friends.

We had fun making his birthday cake. We made a Rainbow Cake! It even turned out, which was the best surprise.


He was a little shy when we were all singing for him.

He didn't make as big of a mess as I thought he would. It took him a minute to get the hang of it.

What a fun night! Well, maybe too much fun for a one year old!?

Lasagna anyone?

Christmas in Iowa

Here is the replay of our Christmas this year:


Jack was in the Christmas Program at church and did an excellent job! What a little character up there! He had fun and it was a good thing I put them in their matching outfits because our Christmas Eve service was canceled because of the weather.


My dad and brother came down early because of the weather and we enjoyed a relaxing, quiet week with them. The boys ventured out to some movies and we did get a little shopping in, my dad is becoming quite the shopper! Jack was thrilled he got a GeoTrax from my dad that connects to his other one that he got in Duluth! I also think Steve has had just as much fun with it as Jack!

We made a birthday cake for Jesus!
The Lavine side wasn't able to make it over for Christmas so I took the boys there for a few days and was able to hang out with Linda, Gary, Laura, Craig, Kate and Aidan. It was so fun to meet sweet baby Aidan. Now there are 3 little boys around. Linda and Gary also blessed us by watching all 3 kids so we could go shopping alone! That was such a treat! Thank you! I didn't get any fun pictures to share of our time there. I'll see what I can do.
