Mother’s Day

 

Mother’s day started with church.  After church Diane and Kristin got a Mother’s day/Baby blessing on the Twins.  Connor got to help out. 

Connor thought it was cool that his uncle’s and him were all wearing the same color.

 

After church we went to Cabela’s for their breakfast buffet.  It was very good – I was actually surprised.  Then we had fun walking around the store looking at all the animals.  The boys had fun having minnows put in their hands.  They said they tickled!

   

 

We had to laugh after looking at this picture.  We sort of match and we kind of blend into the background!

Happy Mother’s day to an amazing woman who I have learned so much from.  Mom, you are always there for me, all of us.  You are such a hard worker, caring person, and involved in the community.  I know I get that from you and am so glad.  I only hope to be half the mom you are (ok, maybe a little more!) throughout my life of motherhood.  Thank you for being a great mom and wonderful friend.  I love you!!!

 

We got home from brunch and Matt and the boys put up the trampoline.   It’s finally nice enough.

   

 

I absolutely adore being the mother of these 4 boys.  I always knew I wanted to be a mom, but had no idea what it would be like and how it would change my life.  I am so very blessed. 

 

 

 

Happy Mother’s day also to my mother-in-law Barb.  Thank you for raising such a great man and for being a great mom to both of us as well!  We love you!

Daycare Provider Day and Twins Game

Yesterday was Daycare Provider day.  Thank you Mary for all that you do for our boys.  We are so blessed.  You always go above and beyond. We celebrate you!

 

 

We either get 2 tickets or 4 tickets for out Twins games, so it sometimes gets complicated.  We’ve been able to work it out so far though.  Tonight Matt took Nolan, Connor, and Connor’s friend Noah.  Sounds like they had a great time!

Spring Concert and Baby Reveal x2

 

Last night the boys had their spring concert.  One of my old teaching partners from Willow is retiring this year and her celebration was at the same time, so Matt did a great job of recording and taking pictures!  Super dad!  Mom and dad were also there to watch.  I was bummed to miss it, but got to watch it when I got home.  Plus, there was no way I would miss my good friend's retirement.  The boys will have many many more concerts.

 

 

 

 

 

This morning we all headed over to my parents bright and early for Nate and Diane’s gender reveal.  They had breakfast for  us and then we all got to pop a balloon.  Some of us popped balloons for the first baby, and the rest popped balloons for the second.  So fun!  Check out the last picture to see what they are having!  We couldn’t be more excited!

A boy and a girl! 

From the Heart and Dance Recital

Yesterday was the From the Heart Walk/Run.  Connor participated in the kids run.  Started in the back of the pack and worked his way towards the front and won the race.  Then he ran the 5K with his good friend Noah.  Mom and I ran/walked it….definitely more walking than running, but we did run some!  Matt also participated in it for the first time this year.  He ran the 1/2 Marathon relay and did a great job.  His work put together some teams to support some of the families that were honored this year.  I know he wants to get back into running more of these things.  I think it will be something that he and Connor can do together.  Connor definitely gets the running part from his father.  ;)  Weather-wise it was a lot different this year.  There was still snow on the ground. 

 

 

 

 

Later in the day we went to watch Kelsey dance in her recital and Diane’s choreographed dances as well.

Happy Birthday Natey~

We hope you have a great day!

We love you!

Snow Day in May? Unheard of!

I don’t think I will ever have this happen to me again, but we had a snow day today, May 2nd.  

At 5:30 this morning we got a phone call from the Police Department suggesting that there be no travel.  We went outside to look and couldn’t believe what we saw.  Matt went outside to go plow our driveway, the boys were still sleeping, and I waited to get the phone call from school.  Sure enough, eventually we got the call that there was no school! 

   

 

 

The boys and I played outside and built a snowman.

 

 

There were trees down everywhere around town.
