Yes, we finally got a fire pit so we can have bonfires, that we've wanted since we moved here, we missed our firepit in Red Wing. Last night was perfect, it was chilly enough you wanted to sit by the fire. The boys enjoyed their bedtime snack out on their little picnic table by the fire - mommy's homemade double chocolate chip cookies and koolaid (what a combo). It was a fun Young family event and a great weekend!
Kobe has started his first swimming lessons this spring on saturday mornings. He's having fun playing "motor boat", "red light green light", and practicing swimming on his back and tummy. Yesterday he got to ride in a canoe in the pool - it was so cute, they all got to wear life jackets - what a great experience!
Wow, I cannot believe it is troy and my 10th anniversary already! We snuck away overnight last weekend to Red Wing, where we met, troy proposed to me, and we were married. It was wonderful, even though we just moved from there 3 years ago, it truly felt like we were away. We drove down to wabasha to go to the national eagle center, hiked the bluff where troy proposed to me, wandered the parks of Red Wing, and enjoyed our beautiful Bed and Breakfast that was built exactly 100 years before I was born! It was the most beautiful house I've ever entered, the owners have done an amazing job preserving and restoring the home. Thank you honey for the wonderful last 10 plus years - looking forward to many more . . .
Look at that face - is that my proud boy? Kobe completed his sticker chart with 50 stickers for making his bed, and he lucked out that the scooter was also on sale at Target last week, and a little help from his wonderful family. Mommy and Kobe took a trip to target and HE purchased his scooter - it's only been a few days but he is already a pro - he started out in the house, and is now confident outside, riding it down to the park. I'm not sure where he gets his coordination - not from his mommy for sure! :)
Kobe at bubba gumps at the MOA on toddler tuesday after a day of bunny surprises.
Great pic of Abby, Kobe and Ashley, at their "picnic" of snacks.
Oh wow, brennan's actually looking!!!
Great pics of Kobe, Chase, and Molly, but again, brennan not looking!
Yeh!!! brennan finally looking.
Just a few kids watching a movie!
How can you say no to a face like that - this is my cousin's little girl, Molly. We've had lots of fun at our house lately - lots of playmates for Kobe and Brennan (although he doesn't like anyone his size right now except for pushing around). I have the privilege of watching my friends girls about once a week whom are the same age as my boys, and play so well (except brennan). And then last weekend we had my cousins two little ones all weekend. It actually went very well - but I don't think troy and I will be having two more kids anytime soon! Plus we had an adorable little puppy staying with us, and it's a good think she was adorable, because the potty thing did not go well at our house (could it have been that fact that we had 4 kids?). Unfortunately I didn't get a photo of the puppy, Liberty Bell was her name. Libby was fun - but I had no idea how much work a dog is. Wow! Good lesson for mommy! I'll stick with kids for now.
