Finally!!!!!!

Gabe finally got to play with his christmas present. Last saturday when it was beautiful out we got his 4 wheeler out of the basement so Bella and Gabe chased each other around the yard.

Slumber Party!

We had a sleep over at a friends house last friday night. Just the girls! Stacey Groe sewed pillow cases for them and we bought notebooks, folders, pens, cups and lip gloss for them. They were so excited! We started off with pizza and then the girls got to see what was in their pillow cases. We then decorated easter eggs with tissue paper and decoupage.

Here we are setting up to watch HSM3. I don't know why we layed out the sleeping bags cuz they didn't sit still. Everytime a song came on they danced their hearts out.

Bella and Sopie getting down to the music.

Then we painted nails.

What a fun night we had. Bella was the first to crash at 10:30 and us moms were up till 3am. Yes I said I was up till 3am. That is 2 hours away from when I usually wake up. We had one casualty as Crystal got sick in morning but we had so much fun.

Snow Tubing!

Last weekend we went to Granite Falls and picked up Tom and went to Powder Ridge. It was a really nice day and Joel, his girlfriend and her daughter and Sarah and Pat met us there. Kelly's daughter was 5 and her and Bella got along really well. They had so much fun going down the hill screaming and arms up the whole way down.

Here is the snow flying up at us while going down the hill.

This is the conveyor belt that brought us back up the hill.

Sure beats the rope we used when we were little at Garvin Park.

Bella still hasn't taken the tag off of her zipper yet.

She made the comment that she wants to go again so she is going

to leave it on and maybe she can get in for free.

Preschool February Happenings!

The class got to take their first bus ride to the library.

Ms. Fountain showing us the books!

We walked over to an Assisted Living Apartment and made heart people with some of the residents. Before we left we sang some songs we are learning to the ladies. Much to our surprise they sang us a song also. We had a really fun tim.

Crystal with her grandmas!

Gabe with the lady he worked with.

We also learned about taking care of our teeth.

We had a Valentines party, played games and exchanged Valentines.

Tomorrow Officer Cummins is coming to teach us about being a police officer.

Fresh Snow!

Just some pictures of the kids playing outside when we got fresh snow at the beginning of February. Glenn blew the snow in a pile all winter for them. It is almost gone now but it was fun for the kids while it lasted.

Annual Fishing Trip Up North

Glenn and 4 of his friends went to Lake of the Woods in January. The picture above is the bomadeer (sp?) that takes them out each day and picks them up.

They caught 12 walleye and 3 eelpout which my sisters husband and friends were up there at the same time and they wanted the eelpout to eat. Nasty!!!! They are kind of a cross between bullhead and and eel.

A little video Glenn took.

New Pictures that Emily Took!

I love this one. His expression is Priceless!

Isabella my model girl.

Thanks again Emily you do such a good job!

Enjoying the last nice days of Fall!

Yes he had a sweatshirt on for most of the playing outside but got hot and he wouldn't keep it on. You would think it would have been more itchy without the shirt

Trick or Treat!

We went out friday night Trick or Treating with some friends.

Isabella as the Witch!

At Bella's class party they made spiders

Here is Bella with a friend

There were like 5 games that the kids rotated around to.

This was the last part of the day - handing out candy.

Gabe's Halloween Party at Preschool

At the party we played pin the mouth on the ghost

We did a candy corn craft

Played throw the balls in the pumkins mouth

and made a cupcake that looked like an eyeball. I think this was his favorite.

This is Gabe's preschool class.

Fall Pictures

Every fall I take the kids to our neighbors house and do fall pictures so here is this years pictures.
