It's an annual even that my sisser luv's come over each tax season so I can help them with their taxes (actually taxact.com helps us, but don't tell them), he he! Brennan decided, after taking a whole 10 minute nap on the way home from the zoo, that he wouldn't be taking an additional nap that day - so he had to find other things to do. And he kept himself quite busy as you can see from the pics attached!
Today was daddy day at Kobe's Preschool. He was so excited this morning he was bouncing off the walls! They've been preparing for this for a couple weeks at preschool. They needed to bring in a picture of their dad - so these pics are the ones Kobe chose - one of the day he came home from the hospital, and from last summer, Kobe's first game of mini golf w/dad of course! One of the projects they were working on was a picture and fill in the blanks . . .
I know, I know - a picture of a bed - really, I haven't gone crazy!?! Kobe was at our wonderful neighbor's on monday, whom agreed to babysit the boys last minute for my dentist appt (thank you so much kate), and Kobe found out how much he really wanted a scooter. Since his birthday isn't until after the summer, we talked about starting some chores, and maybe he could earn an allowance to save up to buy it. We talked about starting with making his bed every morning - so the very next morning - this is what I found - I seriously had to think twice, it was done so perfectly, I thought I had made it myself!! Unbelievable!
My big, proud, perfectionist - way to go Kobe, keep it up!

Mommy and Brennan on the choo-choo!
So on Saturday we took a trip to the MOA, with 3 boys. It was a blast - I told Troy he was crazy thinking we'd be there all day. We got there around 11:15 and ended up leaving at 8:15pm (what does mommy know?). Kobe and Chase went on over 20 rides (5 times just on the race cars), and Brennan went on the train twice with mommy and the semi trucks once with daddy. Brennan even took a nap in the stroller! After a supper of MD's happy meals, and a few more rides, we headed home, and EVERYONE slept well, except brennan, he was wired when we got home!
. . . 3 boys in a tub!!! We were blessed to have Kobe's second cousin, Chase stay with us for 3 days - Kobe was so excited, he was just giddy! Kobe and Chase play together so well - every time he comes, we don't see the boys for hours at a time - and they never get into any trouble. It's so great to have close family. Thank you Rhonda for letting him visit. Our weekend started with a trip to the library for storytime . . . stay tuned for more, that is if I can narrow down the picture selection . . .
Breakfast together at the picnic table - aren't those the cutest lil monster jammies you've ever seen?
Valentines Day, my favorite holiday - there's just something about a holiday all about LOVE! This year it was more about the love of a family, God has blessed me
with such a wonderful one! We had heart shaped pizza and red heart jello, then we went up to "the Blast" an indoor play place in Eagan. It really was a "BLAST"!!! Mommy ended up crawling through many tunnels, because my no fear 19 month old loved it! Check out the pic. Oh, and Kobe made a couple new friends. Then we hit the DQ for the best ever cherry choco blizzard. Troy and I finished up the night with a little wine and a movie, and my wonderful hubby bought me some beautiful Lily's - I forgot how wonderful they smell - even now a week later, only half of them have opened so far, and the sweet aroma is filling our home!
