Hanging out with Tate!!

I got to spend Monday afternoon with Tate and Rachel. It was so much fun to have them over!! After I picked up Austin from school we got Qdoba for lunch (Rachel and I's favorite lunch!) and Rach and Tate came over for a picnic and hanging out! We put together Tyden's new hockey wii game and tried it out! We were laughing at ourselves trying to put hockey sticks together! (a new concept for us!) After I picked up Katelynn from school she got a lot of cuddle time with her cousin! He's adorable!!

Tyden came over after daycare to try out his new game....one broken hockey stick later they decided it was a little hard! (good thing I had duck tape!) I think the new game needs a little more practice...kind of hard for the little ones to use more than one gadget at a time!

Tate's Baptsim!!

We had a great morning at church with Baptism and Katelynn's "faith milestone".  Tate was a trooper for his big day! The service was nice...Tate even got mentioned a few times in the sermon! :) Each year the kids to a "faith milestone". This year Katelynn learned about the Lord's Prayer with snacks and making placemats! After we had a nice brunch at the Bergeson's!

Then on to Katelynn's last basketball game! We don't know what got into her this week, but she probably shot about 12 times (made 1) and dribbled the length of the floor 4 times!! Her coach was so excited and couldn't believe how she'd changed! When she made her basket he jumped up and down more than her mom (and that's a lot!!). He said it made his whole day. It was great!

Happy Birthday Brady!!

We went to Alexandria Friday night to celebrate Brady's birthday!! The kids had SOOOO much fun that they had to stay up until midnight!! I found Drew and Austin playing wii at 6am the next morning!! They slept the whole way home the next day and went to bed EARLY!!

It's hard to believe the youngest of the bunch is 4!!

Batting practice day with Papa!!

Austin was counting the days when he got to go "whack" the ball at Concordia! These guys thought they were pretty hot stuff practicing like the big boys!! Thanks Papa!!

What we've been up to lately.....

LOTS of games: Cobbers, Spuds, Pelican Rapids Vikings...etc. Katelynn spent the week being sick on the couch. Craig and Austin made it to a few men/women double headers. More games this week and next weekend! At least it gives us something to do in the winter!!



Stay at home weekend!

I decided to try fun drinks and snacks for our stay at home weekend. Shirley Temples for the kids and my first attempt at Bloody Mary's for me! (they were good!) Not sure what Craig's drink was but he had a lot of different stuff in it. I attempted Old Chicago's pepperoni rolls and they were a success!

3 days of beautiful trees!!

It was sooooo beautiful driving around town and seeing these trees for 3 days! The camera doesn't capture how pretty it was! Learned on the news it is called Hoar Frost...could they not come up with a better name?? Anyway....loved it!!

All in one night...(half price thursdays...says Craig)

First one out!!

An hour later, the second one came out! (maybe since Craig told her it was half price Thursday she felt the need to get two out). Can't believe they came out that close together! She looks like a different little girl!!

How embarrassed do they look? :)

Katelynn and Eli played each other last sunday...They both scored and it was so fun to be able to watch them both!!

Art night=Date night for mom and Katelynn

Katelynn had fun at her school's art night. The project the kids created will be in the Plain's Art Museum for a month before they get to come home to us. We had so much fun!!
