Black Friday = Playday

Two Story Play Structure (like McDonald's Play Land - only way fewer kids!)

Wrong way Owen!!

Tot Time = Kids Open Gym

Owen LOVES the inflatable bouncer - if he is in it alone of course.

You ready mom... I'm coming down head first!

Auntie Sandi, Danna and Cole spent the night at our house on Thanksgiving. We decided that we weren't going to do any Black Friday Shopping so we took the kids to the Eden Prairie Community Center for Kids Open Gym. I think they had a blast.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Big Kids playing football on the hill.

Since we finally have a house that is big enough it was our turn to host a holiday. We had a great dinner, Thanks to Granny Nanny who made most of the food and to Amber for yummy stuffing and four kinds of pie!! The weather was nice so the little kids, big boys and grandpa got to play outside. The hill in our backyard was a hit with everyone big and small.

Happy 30th Birthday Daddy!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Yellow Cake with Chocolate Frosting - One of Daddy's Favorites!


Birthday Beer Mug - My mom had the waitress deliver Mike's Beer in this cute mug :-)

Birthday Lunch - Owen was already fast asleep for his nap - nearly fell asleep in his highchair again!

Key Lime Pie - Another Favorite!

Mike turned 30 this past Friday. We celebrated with a Birthday Lunch last Sunday and went out for Birthday Dinner on his Birthday. Happy 30th Birthday Mike!

Happy Monday

Owen had a blast riding in the car while grocery shopping yesterday!

Getting Close

Last Friday I decided to stand Owen up behind his walking toy. Unlike all the other times, this time he took off walking behind it. Until last week he hated all walking toys! Until last week every time I tried to get him to stand behind the walking toy he would whine and fall to his knees. He finally did it and you could tell that he was so proud!! Way to go Owen you're getting close.
