Boy’s Adventure Stories:

This morning, Trevor Monkey decided he would attempt climbing the baby gate into our bedroom and actually made it over…. Well, he did a head dive over the gate, but he did make it into our bedroom… He was so proud of himself that he laid on the floor and started clapping…

And just last week I ran downstairs quick and came back up to find Trevor giggling and clapping as he sat on the kitchen table!!!!! He first climbed onto the kitchen chair and then onto the table.. In this short amount of time, he also experimented with the salt and peppershakers. He found that if you shake them you could make a HUGE mess…. And he also found that an open box of cereal makes an even bigger mess when you tip it over!!!!!!!! Tyler is also becoming a little monkey…


I went downstairs last night to put in a load of laundry, which I seem to do almost every day!!!! And when I came back up, Tyler was giggling as he rocked in my rocking chair… Yes, the boys are able to get up on almost anything…. Tyler learned the other night that if you hang to far over on the edge of the couch you will end up doing a head dive, which is exactly what happened…I saw the whole thing happen in slow motion, which almost gave me a heart attack!!!! Luckily he didn’t get hurt, just VERY scared…

Trevor and Tyler's first Ice Cream Cone

Yesterday at Cub I found some fun ice cream cones that come in different colors and flavors. I dished up the cones and took the kids outside, since I knew this could get messy... It was SO SO SO adorable... Trevor took a few bites out of the end of the cone and then walked right over to their picnic table and took a seat... Tyler also started with the back of the cone and ended up tipping all of his ice cream onto the deck... Not to worry, Bagels was right next to him eager to clean up the mess..... After the boys finished, it was time for baths... Everyone was VERY sticky!!!!


Tyler got his first knee scrape a few weeks back and just as his wound healed, his brother got a scrape on his check…I am actually a little surprised that Trevor hasn’t had more scrapes with all the adventures he goes on every day… Seems like he is hanging from something or climbing up something ever day!!!!!!! The kids squeezed behind their beds and our little monkey Trevor decided it would be fun to climb up the backside of his crib… Well, that didn’t seem to work out as he had planned… He someone slipped and landed scraping his whole check… Our poor little guy is know all black and blue on the one side of his face… He was so upset after it happened… He seemed more upset about not being able to make it up the crib than from the pain.

Under water world adventures

This past Thursday was the boys first adventure through Under Water World. It was so much fun watching the kids expressions when they saw all the neat sea creatures. Tyler and Trevor had a blast walking through the exhibit and they thought it was very cool watching the fish swim above their heads. Tyler gave out a few adorable giggles and pointed to the large fish when they swam near the glass.. It was precious!!!! Trevor was banned from touching any of the baby sharks after the fun he has grabbing onto the fin of a baby shark at the county fair....( ha ha).... After under water world, we took the kids to the park for a little while.. It was a fun day, but we were all very pooped by the end of it.... It had been a VERY restless night with the kids the night before... Both kids decided to wake at 2:00 in the morning and had no intentions of going back to bed for a while.... It was a very very long night!!!!!

Tyler's great night and Trevor's early morning project

Tyler slept through the night and didn't even wake up intil 10:00 this morning..... Know this would be perfect if I could get both boys on this same schedule!!!!! This is what I call sleeping in!!!! But of course Mommy didn't get to sleep in at all... My little Trevor was all energized and ready to play at 5:00 this morning!!!!! I was so tired and decided to let him play while I layed on the couch.... I had dripted back to sleep and when I woke, Trevor found the time to clean out the whole hall closet!!!! He threw Q-tips all over the kitchen floor and made the biggest mess you could ever imagine!!!!!!! There were towels, shampoo bottles and everything else that is in the closet all over the kitchen.... I told Trevor that next time he felt like helping mommy clean out, he needed to do a project that hadn't already been done just a week ago!!!!!!! I guess it is time to put on those child proof door locks so he isn't able to get into the closet again.....

5 Year Anniversary

WOW, I can't believe that it is our 5 year anniversary already!!! Alot of things have taken place in these past 5 years- we both went from living in the city, to creating a wonderful life out in the country. It truley feels like we are living the dream!!! It is hard to remember what our lives were like before we had children. The main thing I remember was that we had no problem staying out until 2 in the morning. Know it seems like that 10:00 mark hits and we are both ready for bed. ( ha ha)... These 2 boys had brought a whole new meaning of family into our life, and that is somthing that is so special. You will never find a dull moment around our house. Just when you think the evening is winding down, we have the enjoyment watching the boys chase eachother around the kitchen or receive a warm hug from our little guys. These are the moments what life is all about and everyday is a gift!!!!!

We are living the dream out in the country with our 2 wonderful boys and

Isanti County Fair

Today Grandma Nancy came up for her weekly visit, which is so wonderful. I just love having her up at our house and I know she loves spending time with her grandbabies. We all went to the Isanti County fair this evening. The kids LOVED the petting zoo. It is so neat watching the boys expressions as they seem the animals and hear the differnet animal noises. After the petting zoo, we decided to find some food. We decided on some cheese curds and a huge bucket of fair fries... Gosh they were so delicious!!!! The kids love fries and they really love cheese curds... It seemed like we would hand Tyler a cheese curd and within seconds he would be reaching his hand out to use for another one.. It was very precious!!!!!! The Mall of America Under Water world also had a display set up at this years fair... They even had a small shark in an aquarium, which people were allowed to touch..... Tyler went first and gently touched the sharks back.. He was a little scared, but he was a very brave boy... and then it was our little Trevors turn... Trevor is our little more adventurous child. Daddy help Trevor over the tank to pet the shark and within seconds Trevor grabed onto the sharks back fin... I think he just about gave the women who was in charge a heartattack.... but daddy was able to get Trevor to realise his grib.... I think we need to work with Trevor on the using one finger thing for touching and petting animals.....

First day of daycare

Well today was the first day I watched another families kid. I wasn't sure what to expect, but things went great..... The little girl was great with Tyler and Trevor and she seemed to love being at our house. The whole nap time thing needs some work, since everyone seemed to go down at different times!!! I sure wasn't able to get a single thing done around the house today, but it was sure nice to make a little money while being at home all day..... By the end of the day I decided that I would NEVER teach our kids the work Doggy.... That seemd to be her favorite word, other than "no" and gosh I was so tired of hearding doggy by the end of the day.... I have been working with the boys trying to get them to say Dog and then both are know starting to be able to say that. I figure that Bagels would be a little harder to learn, so we are practicing with just dog for knoe....... Tonight became very interesting as Trevor showed me that he had learned to swing over the edge of the couch. I couldn't believe that he was able to do this... I guess he saw his little friend do the same thing today and decided that he wanted to be try... Well, he almost gave me a heart attack!!!!!!
