Good times with the White's

Grandpa and Grandpa White (that's what Brody calls them) came for a visit and brought lots of fun times with them. We went to the Como Zoo...

 We bowled a game, Ryan the stinker eeked out a win on the last frame. They even had Brody and Cambrige size shoes... so cute...

Cambridge bowled a few frames without the ramp, so fun to watch!!!  He is getting so big :(

 The highlight for the boys was getting some new bikes. They were both a little shy at first but are quickly getting really good at riding them. Brody even beat Ryan at a race down our street.

As always it was a great time and a very fun weekend!  We also got some much needed yard work done, no pictures, sorry.  However, it makes me smile every time I see it!!  Even got a compliment from one of our neighbors!

Pretty in Pink

Pretty in Pink with just a little sass too!

 6 months old now, and sitting up.

 Love my pretty baby girl!!!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter Everyone!!! To celebrate the holiday we hosted an Easter Party complete with an egg war, which I won ; ) for the first time ever!!!! I think everyone had lots of fun.  They boys were especially excited the egg war, and were both pretty upset about their special eggs cracking.

The Easter Bunny did visit our house, but as he was leaving he left several "presents" for us. Cambridge dove right in and ate them all up.  No fooling that kid.  

My Sweet Baby in her little Easter dress! (Thanks Auntie Malena!)  Saren found the shoes and bow in her Easter basket, for a little pop of color with her new dress!

What better way to wish the winter away than at an indoor waterpark

This past weekend we got to meet up with some good friends at the Great Wolf Lodge in Wisconsin Dells.  It was the first time we have ever been, and we cannot wait to go again!  We had such a great time catching up with friends, and playing games all night.  The kids loved having other little kids to play with, and we really enjoyed ourselves as well.  It was such an easy going weekend, and a much needed break from the normal routine.  It was also SAWEET to be warm again!  (Brody was really nervous about the fact that his legs were showing in his swimsuit--I guess he forgot what shorts are.)  The park was really well done, and geared for kids of all ages.  I couldn't believe how many different slides and pools there were to play in.

We started the fun weekend at the boys' favorite restaurant, the train brings them their food, drinks, and fun hats!  :)

Sweet Hazel in her cute swimsuit, she had so much fun splashing in the water.

Don't mind the hideous pictures of me, just look at how cute my kids are okay?  Deal.

Brody LOVED all the water slides that he got to ride on.  What a fun and brave and little boy!  I can't wait for him to grown another 3 inches!!!!!

Minnesota winter fun and a cute girl

Our favorite sledding hill--right in our back yard!!!!!  (I hope they never build a house on that lot.)  I have loved sending my boys out to sled for a few minutes... the only way I get anything done lately.

Boopers doing a superman slide down the hill.

Saren Snowgirl complete with a bow!

Our snowman children.  The boys had so much fun creating these little guys.

The boys insist on everyone calling her "cute smiley girl".  She continues to be the best sweetest cutest little baby girl ever!

Look who's 5!

Cannot believe this little guy is my 5 years old already.  H continues to be such an amazing little boy and absolute joy to our family.  Saren completely lights up when he talks to her, which he does often.  He can also make her laugh and smile better than anyone else.  Brody and him are best friends and do everything together.  This winter he has really enjoyed sledding, playing games, his friends, learning to write, & going to a Monster Truck Show!

We had a big TRAIN birthday party for him with most of his friends.  It was a success, we played lots of fun games, and ate some fun train food brought to us in a little train, drank diesel fuel, and ate some "coal"... How the hell did I not get any pictures of all my hard work????  Anyway, it was cute, and we all had fun!  Boy oh Boy though, throwing parties is a lot of work.

We had such a fun trip to the zoo yesterday! 

Sweet Hazel Baby!

BRODY IS POTTY TRAINED!!!!  (And it was a lot easier than I expected it to be again--such a good little boy.) 

Sledding down the drive way with his friend Nick.

In Other News--Our last stop at the zoo, the Starfish/Anemone Tide Pool... standing right behind Brody when all the sudden I see him go head first in to the pool and his feet sticking straight up.  WHAT THE HECK?  Then he proceeds to yell at me while crying after I pulled him out for not holding on to him... just slightly embarassing, and we have now hit a NEW LOW as parents.  (Sorry--no pics, although I thought about it, but then I would be a really bad parent so I just couldn't.)  Do you know how loud that kid is?  I think everyone was staring/laughing at us.  The best part was that he was not scared at all, he was just seriously mad. Funny boy.
