Family Fun

 Nathan 2 months old
12 lbs. 6 oz
24 " long
I can't believe how fast time is going by. Nathan is just growing too fast!

 For Mothers Day Doug and the boys dipped strawberries in chocolate for the family. The were DELICIOUS!

 My boys looked so handsome for church I just had to get a picture of it because by the time they get home we don't look quite so put together.

 Sunday naps for everyone. I love that almost every Sunday this is how you will find Doug, holding the baby sleeping like a baby.

For Andrew's first grade field trip they went to the Children's Museum in St. Paul and also the Como Zoo. Doug was also able to go along for the fun day.
 Our favorite thing to do is find different trails not to far from our house and go for long walks on Sunday. This day we went up to Lake Rebecca up by Delano. This is my new favorite Sunday walk.
 We love the trails here because they are paved so the boys just run and walk and have a great time.
Here, little Nathan is 3 months old and so happy. His little smile makes me so happy!

Too smart for his own good:)

Yesterday was Andrew’s first track and field day. I took the three boys and we went and watched Andrew. It was really fun to see him interact with his friends at school.
After track and field, I told him we could go to the grocery store and get some ice cream bars. He was excited to get to choose whatever he wanted. Once we got to the store, I showed him what he could choose. He stood there for awhile trying to decide what ones he wanted. I started to get impatient and told him to HURRY! He finally chose and said he wanted the fudge bars that had 20 in the package. I told him he could have the same thing, just in the package that came with 6. He said he didn’t want those. I tried to explain that they were the SAME, just one package had more. Then he started to cry and said he didn’t want the box with only 6 because everyone would only get one, except for Dad who would get 2. I had a hard time not laughing. I let him choose something else that had 12 in the box and all was well.

Easter weekend

The Easter Bunny came to visit us on Saturday. The boys got up early and were excited to find where the Easter Bunny had hid their baskets in the house. Andrew's was hidden in the bottom of the garbage. Jacob's was hidden in the curtains and Danny's was hidden under the table.
The boys were disappointed that there weren't any eggs hidden outside, so I took the boys upstairs in my room and read some Easter stories so the Easter Bunny could come and hide the eggs outside. When they came downstairs to eat breakfast, they were thrilled that the Easter Bunny had come again and hid eggs outside.

After we ate breakfast, we drove into Edina and went to The Works Museum. It is a science museum. At first the boys weren't too excited, but then they found this table where you build a ramp to put a marble down. They LOVED this part!



Sunday after church and a good Sunday nap, we drove to the Carver County Reserve and had our dinner. After we ate we went for a nice walk around the Reserve. It was a beautiful day for a nice long walk! What a wonderful Easter weekend!

I also have to add this CUTE picture of Danny. He is reading a book to his moose and Uniqua.

This video was taken when Nathan was almost 8 weeks old. I was trying to get ready to go somewhere so Jacob was taking care of Nathan. I was trying to hurry, so that is why I can't call my boys by the right name.
