Happy 2013!

70 Never looked so good!

While we were home we got to celebrate my dad's 70th birthday!!  I'm so glad we were there.  His birthday was actually on Friday, the 28th, but we went out to eat on the Wednesday before we left.  He is the best dad and even better Papa.  I am so lucky I got him to be my dad!!!  Love you.

Property Brothers

One day at Mall of America, Faye and I went to see if we could meet the Property Brothers from HGTV.  The armbands to meet them had been given out by 10 am and we got there at 1:15pm.  They weren't scheduled to go on until 2!!  We waited in a long line for about an hour and a half and decided we weren't going to be able to see them, so we went to do some shopping.  We stopped back by at 4 when they were leaving and the lady in front of us in line was getting her picture made!!  I was so mad!!!  Oh well, we still got some pictures, we just didn't get to touch them. :(

Christmas Time

We were lucky enough to get to spend Christmas in Tennessee and get back to Minnesota before the weather got bad, although it was rough last leg of our trip on the way back.  We we got home, Nana and Papaw came to visit and have Christmas with the boys.  Thankful to all of our family for everything.  We are truly blessed.  

We stopped in Indianapolis on the way to Tennessee and got to eat a Chick-Fil-A.  It was so good!!!

We stopped at a water park within a hotel.  The boys had so much fun!!!

Bad, Bad, Blogger.

I have been really bad about putting pictures on here and I need to do better.  

We have had so much going on lately.  End of school, Tball starting, and thank goodness we finally had a warm day to open the pool and go swimming.  The boys had a blast and love every minute of being in the water.  They are such water babies and are at home in the liquid stuff, not the frozen kind!!!  Bring on Summer!!!!

The first jump of the year.

Bowling

We went bowling with our neighbors a couple of weekends ago and it was the first time for Chase.  He did pretty good for the about 5 frames, then he was more concerned about eating.  Colton was the overall winner and was super excited!!  

Mr. Independent wanted no help.
