Happy 3rd Birthday Gabriel!

3 and full of spit fire. I am so thankful that he is full of energy and crazy boyness (word?) with what he went thru at 3 months old. It was killing him to have to wait until Dad came downstairs after his shower to open his presents. Last night we asked him what he thought he was getting and he said a cop car. Well we were storing it downstairs so either he saw it or Bell told him cuz she was downstairs with Glenn one night and saw it so Glenn told her what it was for and she had to keep it a secret. This morning we asked Bella if she told Gabe and of course the answer was No but with a smerk. He got a cop car, loader and monster trucks. It just amazes me that girls know they like dolls and boys know they like cars and trucks without teaching them that that is what they like.

Happy 5th Birthday Isabella!

Wow I can't believe that she is already 5 years old! She got a Bitty Baby Twin girl that she named Pippi (after one of her favorite movies), a webkin, perfume and make up. We ended up in St. Cloud picking up microwaves so we took the kids to Space Aliens for supper and games. This weekend we will go to Grandma Schuttlers to celebrate with them, Sandy and maybe Alex and Taylor.

Celebrating Birthdays in Cokato

Gabe picked Monster Trucks

Bella picked Enchanted

The weather was awesome all weekend to celebrate the birthdays and spend time with family.

Ready for Swimming!

Sorry this is sideways but I couldn't figure out how to flip it. Here is the kids and Glenn waiting to go to the beach and tubing. We went camping at Cokato for the weekend with the Hussongs to celebrate the kids birthday.
Doesn't Glenn look excited???
Grandpa brought his boat with to the lake so we got to go tubing and Chad & Kyle came for a few hours to ski also with friends.

We had a great time.
