Merry Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

No more tonsils or adenoids!!! I think he weighs 10 lbs less.

Jolly Old St. Nicholas!

The kids were anxious to meet Santa this year. This is Grayson laughing at Reagan's list because she only has 1 item on it. =)

Happy Halloween

Pumpkin Pickin' Time

We hit our local fruit and veggie stand this evening to pick our future jack o' lanterns. It's picking time!!!

Grayson found her this little beauty.

Here is one for Grayson!

Grayson gives his little sister a lift to the counter.

This is what Reagan does when you ask her to "smile" Let's get a closer look.... Oh yeah...there it is!!!! So pretty!

Happy "almost" Hallween.

Our Kindergartner...he's got the legs for it.

My sister always said that you know a kindergartner by the lenght of their legs. well...this kid has kindergarten legs and he is ready to roll!

He looks sad huh? Nope...just pretending!!!!! Check out the size of that back pack. His teachers is a twins fan too.

There's the smile we werelooking for earlier. He was so excited to get started.

At first when I realized we were mirrored in the reflection of the window I was disapointed...but now..I like it. It is kind of symbolic...we support our kids from the wings as they begin new journey's in search of their own hopes and dreams. Look at Grant smiling...he looks happy huh?

Here we are at the school. Grayson was very excited to get started. Kindergarten is going to be great.

It's catch up time...July 4th vacation and more....

Technical difficulties caused a bit of disorder...I know you will forgive me. The camera was shy over our 4th of july vacation but we got few shots. Sparklers are so fun....Grayson tried a behind teh back move scarring me to death and prompting a conversation of stop, drop and roll.

Probably not something Reagan will want to see when she is a teenager huh?

The turtle races in Nisswa were once again a great time. Reagan was a natural and cried when our turn was done.

See, not in the right order...She liked the sparklers but only about half way through...thens she was done. Good thing it hasn't been a dry summer or we might have had a visit from Smokey the Bear.

Please Mommy, can I have Smore?

And so the vacation ends and Reagan helps bring in the flags.

July 24th

Sometimes the best things come at the last minute.

It wasn't with out effort as Grant spent a full day and one morning trying secure Twins tickets to the Sunday Twins vs. Tigers game. It wasn't a win for the twins but one little boy felt like a winner after this great day.

On Sunday's they let the kids on the field to run the bases at the conclusion of the game. Grayson is in the back of the picture with the white jersey and red cap. He was running like the wind.

It was a great day at the ballpark!
