We had a great time at Isanti County Fair this weekend. Tyler's wasn't to sure about his cat face painting!!! The boys loved seeing all the animals and of course all the tractors!!! We went on a trolly ride and the boys played a ton of games. It was Kids day so everything was free!!!! It was a great time!!!!!

Tired little guys!!!

Mcdonnalds Fun

The boys love the tunnels at Mcdonnalds play area..and mommy loves to sit back and enjoy a mocha!!!

Mall of America

We had so much fun at the mall this past Friday. The kids loved going on the rides. It won't be to much longer and my babies won't need mommy and daddy to go with.... sniff,sniff.....

Isanti Fun Free Days

The boys has so much fun at Isanti Fun Free Days yesterday. The boys saw TONS of baby animals. Their favorite were back chickens- Trevor reached his hand right into the cages and pulled out a chicken. Then Tyler decided to try grabbing one too. They both were very gentle and were SO proud of themselves. Then the boys each went on their first pony ride. Tyler sat on the pony's back for a few seconds and was ready to get back into daddys arms. Trevor held onto the saddle horn and rode all around. It was VERY cute!!!! Then we headed to the free face painting booth. The boys both wanted kitties painted on their arms, they looked very cute-but was somewhat challenging trying to keep them from touching the fresh paint tatoos.Then we were off to more fun-balloon animals,free root beer and iceees, tons of kids games, and the bouncy bounce. The boys love jumping in those bouncy bounces. They were so anxious for their turn to get in there, and were no eager to get out after just 2 minutes.. Daddy had to climb in after them to explain that there were other kids waiting to get in too.... But the kids soon forgot all about the bouncy bounce when they noticed a tractor, firetruck, and police car that they could sit on. They both had huge smiles when they thought they were going to be driving a tractor!!! Then we headed over to the kids games, dunk tank, and animal expo area. The boys saw their first baby fox and baby racoon. It was a VERY fun day for all of us!!!

McDonnalds

Daddy and I took the boys and Carson to McDonnalds to have fun in their play area. The kids love going through all the tunnels but it was a little scary seeing Daddy crawling through the tunnels. I was so hoping that he didn't get stuck up there!!!!! It was a very fun time for mommy too.. I had a Mocha and was able to sit back and relax. The area is all enclosed, so I don't have to worry about any of the kids excaping from the area... LOL!!! It was a very fun way to spend part of the day!!!!! and everyone went down for naps perfect today- so that was awesome!!!!

Car Ride Home from MOA

The kids were beat after Toddler Tuesdays at MOA.. It was a very quiet car ride home!!!!! They were both out by the time we got back to Grandma Nancy's house.

TODDLER TUESDAYS AT MOA

This past Tuesday I took the boys down to MOA Toddler Tuesdays. We drove to Grandma Nancy's house and picked her up to join us... It was a blast!!!!!!! Everything was based around the Wizard of OZ. The kids each were able to do some coloring and then the boys saw clips from the wizard of oz play. I was very impressed that the boys say through the whole thing!!!!!!! Then we went to meet the Wonder Pets. I wasn't sure how the kids were going to respond to the characters. They love the show, but come to find out they do not like people dressed up. Tyler started to cry so hard and Trevor gripped onto my leg so tight I could barely move. It was a GREAT day and the kids had so much fun, other than seeing the characters in costume.....

4th of JULY

It was a great 4th of July!!! Grandma and Gramdpa Gammel came up to spend the afternoon and evening with us.. The boys had SO much fun seeing fireworks!!! Their first expressions were so precious!! They both clapped and were so excited. Tyler would plop down on the blanket when he was ready for the next firework and would say "Ready- Set- Go".. It was SO cute!!!!! Then it was time for the HUGE firework display to begin. The boys at this point were getting very tired. Trevor loved the fireworks and kept saying "pretty" after every firework went off... The finale was almost starting and Tyler was fast asleep- and so was Grandpa... HA HA!!! It was a great 4th of July and the boys slept in until 8:10 this morning!!!!

CLIFFORD PARK

You boys LOVE playing at Clifford Park. It is so neat- they have a smaller kids area that has adorable clifford things to play on, and there is also a bigger kids area, which the boys really love. Tyler, I can't believe that you used to be my hesitant kid when it came to going down slides. These are now your favorite thing and the bigger the better!!!! You are so brave!!! Trevor, you are still our little monkey and will try anything new at the park. I love your curiousity!!! It is so fun taking you boys out places and it is priceless to see your expressions when you get excited... The first time we went to clifford park you both started to squeal and couldn't run fast enough to get up to the hill to the park!!! It was very cute!!!!

Busy Summer

Summer is sure flying by fast and every day seems to get busier!!! We took the boys to the lake for the first time a few weeks ago and they LOVED it!!! They were somewhat hesitant in the beginning, but by the time we were ready to go, we had to pull them out of the water. I have started watching our neighbors other child, being she is out of school for the summer. It sure is challenging keeping track of 4 kids at the park!!!!! Everyday is filled with fun projects- the kids LOVE finger painting the best, which can get very messy. Expecially when Tyler is done painting and decides it would be fun to touch his face and hair, so by the end of the project, he normally needs a bath!!!
The boys kitten Gracie is sure getting big too. The kids are finally understanding how to hold her so she is very happy about that. I don't think her tail can withstand do much more pulling!!!! I am just hoping she has more than 9 lives to make it here!!!!!
