Can you guess?

I got lucky and had the same outfit packed for our trip that Zeke had worn two summers prior while we were still living in MN.


Can you guess who is Zeke and who is Theo? And, Big Brother was a great help!


Summer Vacation to MN

After WI, we headed north to MN to see family! Zeke was super excited to see his cousin Hannah and also meet his newest cousin Noah! Aunt Shana planned an amazing birthday party for the two 3 year olds. She even created cool fire truck cakes, and they got to visit a fire station.

Enjoying cuddles with cousin Ashley.



We went strawberry picking while we were there!

Then, we headed to Ipoint for an amazing weekend of Family Camp! What a wonderful weekend.

Lots of great memories made!

A big Trip South

I am super far behind in blogging so will be trying to catch up with some of our summer traveling! We headed down to WI at the end of June for my cousin's wedding! A fun 26 hours in the car with an almost 3 year old and almost one year old! In all honesty, the boys did amazing and we are thankful we traveled through the night.

We even managed to get to airport in Milwaukee right as my sister and her family arrived on their flight from Spokane. Zeke was pretty excited. (still wearing his pjs)The wedding was fun and thankful we had the chance to see lots of family! The dessert wasn't bad either as you can see from Zeke's face!


My sister's little boy was the ring bearer and he did an awesome job!


We stayed at my Uncle and Aunt's lake cottage with my parents and sister's family for almost a week following the wedding! We had a 4 year old, 3 year old, 2 year old, and almost a 1 year old! Busy! We even got to ride a train!




Lots of great memories made with cousins! Super special when you leave so far apart from each other!

We celebrated Zeke's third Birthday and my sister's _ _ birthday. It was wonderful to be together.


We found this AMAZING children's museum and the kids (including Danny) could have played forever!


But, Theo was not excited about learning the ropes regarding money from the around the world despite my Dad's best efforts! :)



Thanks Dad and Mom for all you did to help us all get together!

More playgroup Fun

Just to prove that we do have summer in Sk! :)

Enjoying the warm weather with playgroup friends!

Big Brother giving a push to the little guys! :)









Trip To Lustre

On our way back to SK, the boys and I spent the night in Lustre, MT visiting the Olfert Family! I have always wanted to see where they are farming and thankful we had the chance for a quick visit!
Fun on the swings!



A tractor ride except Zeke was too chicken to actually stay in it once it was turned on! :)





Much better when it was quiet!









Thanks so much Dawson and Alicia and boys! So awesome to see your home!

And, Dawson, thanks so much for driving in the field in the car.

Now, every time we drive past a field (which is quite often in Birch Hills)

Zeke asks me to drive through the grass. :)








Quick Trip

In early May, the boys are I went on a quick trip down to MT to surprise my Dad.

He had fallen while visiting us and had broken his pelvis. The LONG drive with a 2 year old and 10 month old was worth the surprised look on his face! Lunch at Olive Garden with Elmo! I was happy! :)
My sister also came at the end of our trip so all the grand kids were together for one day!
Fun and busy! :)




A new defensive strategy

Danny and I are moving from a man on man defense to a zone defense in late February 2011. Baby Bronson #3 will be arriving!
