riding in the little car... 1st time ever... so excited!

I had to get a bunch of things taken care of at Children's St. Paul and United... I brought the boys with me and the nice badge lady made them both their very own United badges.  So cute and they LOVE  them.

Hiding in the lockers at swimming.

Their favorite book is "Froggy goes to Camp" in the book, Froggy goes to camp-run-a-muck.  The boys took their sleeping bag back packs out of their closet... waved goodbye to me and told me they were leaving for camprunamuck.

BIKES!!!!!

One of the single best purchases to date... the bikes! Nathan and Ben have been riding bikes, day and night, hot and cold weather, raining and snowing. They pretend they are going to work,  to school to play with their friends.  They ride in circles in the garage like a speedway.... they ride on the path.... on the side of the road and we went on our first family bike ride to "a far away park!"  I love that they like to be outside... it makes me a little sad how big they look on their bikes!

Off roading in the rocks

Winter biking!

Ben's Bike shoppe... he was "fixing" his bike!

They made Brent ride on the speedway with them... daddy was dizzy pretty quick:)

Family bike ride!

We had to stop at the light post... AKA the gas station... and fill up their bikes with gas!

What will they think of next?

Memorial Day 2013

MN Zoo for Gramma's Birthday!

Tailgating at the Saints game!

So excited to play baseball in the parking lot of a baseball game!

Dancing and jumping to loud music ...in the back of uncle Matt's truck!... just like the mamas use to do!

LOVE!

going into the game!

Look Ben got a ball!

Its chilly out here mama!... up way past bedtime!

William's Cabin

Ben spent the grand majority of his time at the cabin playing with sticks.  He built a fort, a fire and pretended to fish off the dock.  We actually had to put his "favorite  stick" way up high when we left... so that it was SAFE!

Their fort... complete with the campfire they built.  I LOVE their little imaginations and I LOVE that they love to play outside.  In fact Ben chose to "fish" on the dock instead of singing happy birthday and eating cake.... well eventually he joined us! :)

yard swing!

Berks loves the cabin too.

Some of my favorites!

We hope that everyone had a great weekend together with their families.  

And to all those in the armed services... Thank you.
