Adventure Park

It was our first time going to Adventure Park today in Ham Lake. It was awesome!!! The boys had a blast climbing through the huge tunnels and going down the huge slides. Mommy had fun climbing in the tunnels too!! Their snack prices were very reasonable.. That huge container of popcorn for just $1.00!!! That was surprising!

ECFE Beach Party

The boys and I had a blast at the ECFE Beach Party today. They had the whole cafeteria set up with art projects, sand play, water tables, games, and snacks. Of course Tyler and Trevor went to the water tables first. They looked for neat sea creatures and use kids fishing poles to catch small pretend fish. Kids wading pools were filled with sand and the boys loved filling their puckets and dumping them out. It was SO much fun watching them!!! and what a great way for them to burn off some of their energy!!!

Boys Bowling

We took the boys bowling for the first time this past weekend. They looked so Adorable in bowling shoes,and they had SO much fun!!!

Wonderful Christmas

We had wonderful times this year with Christmas preparations. The boys are at a perfect age!!! We baked cookies, made a Gingerbread Santa Sleigh (this was a very fun project!!) The boys were able to help hold the pieces in place while I spread the frosting and then they placed the candy pieces on. The boys and I also had a blast shopping at our local thrift store picking out toys to help families in need this christmas. We ended up helping 5 families (10 kids) this Christmas. I took old Diaper boxes and wrapped them in wrapping paper and we filled each box with toys and basic necessities approriate for each kids age. Tyler and Trevor learned the true meaning of Christmas this year as they helped clean out some of their toys to pass onto these other kids.
Once everything was gathered, we had the honor of delivering everything to these families. It felt so Wonderful! The parents were so appreciate, expecially knowing their kids would all have pillows to sleep on!!!!!

Trevor with Santa

Here is our brave little guy sitting with Santa!

Santa Visit

We took the boys to Rush City for Santa days. They had visits with Santa, hay rides, and toys for tots drop off. The boys had each picked out a toy to bring to donate, so they placed those on the tables and headed to find Santa.

Trevor carefully walked up to Santa and sat on his lap. In a soft wisper Trevor said he would like a tractor. Then it was Tyler's turn.. but he wans't at all interested. He screamed and held onto very tight to daddy..... Next it was the fun hay rides. Both boys loved seeing the huge draft horses and riding in the trailer. It was alot of fun.. but it was very chilly out..

Wonderful Thanksgiving

We went to the farm this Thanksgiving to visit Grandma and Grandpa. We had a wonderful time! Uncle Paul also came home to do some deer hunting. The kids would ask their Uncle every evening if he got a deer. Trevor was so excited to go on tractor rides with Papa and even helped Papa move some branches down in the pasture. Tyler wasn't very interested in putting on winter gear, so he spent time with Grandma in the house. Both kids love doing projects out in the heated workshop. They kept busy hammering nails into a cardboard box and found it to be very fasinating looking through papa's screw and bolt drawers. There's not a day that goes by that the boys don't talk about the farm. Trevor took the tires off one of his cars yesterday and told me he needed to go to the workshop to fix it. It was very cute!
