Ahhhhh, summer
Little swimmers

Before the big race with Brandon, Carole, and Blanche--we were the smart ones who chose to get the torture over with Friday night! Lots of stupid friends waiting to run the half and full Grandma's marathon on Saturday! Nuts!

Hawaii in June

Check out the "whole" fish! Delicious red snapper though
Hawaiin sunset! Can't beat that!

View of the sunset from our room--and we are supposed to leave?

Aircraft carrier at Pearl Harbor--oh, and Chris too
View from the first hotel--just makes you want to dive in!

Fishing in the spring time
Peyton loves to "drive" the fourwheeler

Those are some big boots to fill Colton!

1st Communion Celebration

Caleb got to finally make his 1st Communion this past Sunday, something he had been looking forward to all year! He (and Chris and I) was so proud and looked so handsome in his suit asking that morning, "Do I look like a man, like Dad?" He did a great job!
Gotta have cake!

So proud!

It made the day extra special to have both of Caleb's godparents there, Uncle Brad and Auntie Brittany.

Caleb and 2 of his classmates at Marquette

Minnesota Spring

The ice went off the lake on Thursday, April 23rd. It is so nice to see water in place of the dark ice, not to mention loons, ducks and unfortunately muscrats. The boys spent this Saturday afternoon down on the beach running and digging in the sand, and even running into the lake. Colton had a blast throwing sand in the water (and putting it in his mouth).
I might add that it is only 57 degrees outside although it looks beautiful. Crazy boys all in their underwear!

Snacking on the swing

Peyton in his glory riding his four-wheeler

Colton likes to be like the big boys and needs something to ride too--although, he doesn't go anywhere!

Roaring Twenties

Chris and I went to the Marquette School Dinner Dance with the Roaring Twenties theme and had a blast! They have a silent auction, live auction, dinner and dj and everyone really got into the spirit dressing up! This is such a fun group of people!
Sue, Alyson and Tara

Thanks to a you-tube video, I was able to put pin curls in my hair for true 1920's style. I had the laptop in the bathroom with me. A few people even thought I had cut my hair!

Chris in jail with a few ladies. Should've purchased a get out of jail free card! Although, he didn't seem to mind it as long as he had a beer in hand. Thanks to his mother-in-law, he wasn't in there long!

Casual Friday

Happy to stay in pj's all day!
Spiderman (or one of the Power Rangers, or Batman, or Anakin Skywalker, or a clone trooper, etc.) is always here to save the day! Peyton says to me daily, "I will get the bad guys for you, Mom!" How lucky am I?

Showing off his cute smile!

Easter morning

Too cool!
Colty Bear

Can you guess what the Easter bunny brought in their baskets? (Hint: footwear)

Logan is almost ready for church! If only he would get dressed! How handsome is that little Robert Redford look!

Caleb and his crooked winking smile

Peytie Pie

Colton sharing one of our many Easter eggs!

The Last Winter Hurrah!

Still enough snow for one more good day of sliding! One week after we were there, the hill was all grass.
Look out below!
Caleb and a couple of his buddies

Peyton pretending to eat a "snow cookie"

Colton didn't get to go sledding, but he still got a chance to "enjoy" the snow one last time.





Goodbye Hockey Hair!

Four boys just chillin'
Yes, how cute is he with that long hair! Looks are deceiving, especially since Auntie Britt was the one to actually wet it down and comb it so nicely before his haircut. Too bad she wasn't here every morning before school!

How handsome and so ready for baseball! No more hockey hair!

Birthday and a Blizzard

Logan turned 6! Hard to believe! Like any 6 yr. old, he had a hard time waiting to open his gifts! (The crown was from his teacher at school.)
Logan wanted gyros for supper and yellow cake with chocolate frosting for his birthday!

He got all of the candles!

So much for April showers!
