Take me out to the RedHawks!

Redhawks Game 5/25/08

Here we are! The twins went to their very first baseball game at the FM Redhawks. We were there celebrating a birthday for Alex. Happy 9th Birthday Alex! Here are pictures of the event. Eli is with Mommy and Tavan was with Daddy. The other pictures are of Alex and her dad, Todd. Kristi, Jason and his daughter McKenna. Rob is hiding in the background on a picture also. We had a very good time, and we made it through the 7th inning of the game, which started about 1 hour late due to the Redhawks finishing thier game from the previous night. The kids did so well that we may even consider attempting a ballgame again sometime.

Another Tooth!

Well, all the drowling paid up to somthing. The twins both got a new tooth today and it is the SAME one!!! How crazy is that? Same tooth, same day. The got their first tooth on the top. Not sure if it is an eye tooth or the one next to it on their left side. How crazy is that? Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day weekend!

Opa came to visit!

Jacob and Ryan learned how to roast marshmallows again. They are SO impatient! Ryan started them on fire because of his unwillingess to wait for the perfect golden brown... on the other hand...
Jake did a FABULOUS Job!!! Look at that golden brown!

7 Months Old!

Here we are dirty and 7 months old!! We are rolling over, smiling and laughing a lot and eating tons!!! We LOVE our cereal with fruits and veggies! Eli loves to munch on cheerieos or puffs, Tavan however could do without and pushes them out with his tongue. It is kind of funny!

Run, Run, Run!!!

Today was the annual Fargo Marathon. In the afternoon, they held a kid's Fun Run, and we decided to get our kids out there this time (except Jake who decided he didn't want to). Here are our two proud runners. They each ran the 1/2 mile race in their own age categories. Mommy ran with Danika, and she did very well. She ran about 1/3 of the way, and got carried the rest. She did end the race running in to the Dome yelling Boppa, Grandma, Eli and Tavan!!... She was SO proud of herself. Ryan was going to run with Daddy and at the last minute decided he was a big kid and did it himself. He says he had a good time.
Danika with her Friend Benjamin. He ran in the 5 year old category.
Here we are with our two racers...aren't they looking tired? ;)
Danika's first NON-100% juice, milk, water,etc. drink. Needless to say, she LOVED it. She had it down before we left the dome. It was a red Powerade, so not too bad. Had to take a picture of it!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!! Thank you Kurt!

Thanks to my wonderful husband. HE IS THE BEST! He gave me the best gift of all. Everyone can see it below. He and the kiddos worked hard and I think that I have watched it at least 10 times already. Thank you to all 6 of them for the best gift EVER! I LOVE YOU BUNCHES!!!	Kylene and I drove to Sheyenne for Mother's Day weekend. Here are some pictures from Mother's day that are pretty cute.
Boppa got us our first John Deere caps. However, we need to grow a bit before we will fit into them. Kylene and Eli!	Grandma was tickling Danika and Tavan was confused! Danika and her new shades!

Happy Mother's Day!

To all the mothers in our life, we wish you a very Happy Mother's Day! We hope you enjoy this slide show we put together...


Happy Mothers Day Miranda!

IPOD 3000

Jake got a chance to be an inventor. At school, he is in a group call the TLC. This group had a project where they each came up with an invention. Jake's idea was the "iPod 3000." His iPod headset has a speaker on it, and allows the listener to speak the name of the song or artist they want to hear, then the iPod figures it out and plays the song! What a neat idea. Jake had a lot of fun with the project, and really enjoyed showing off his work at the inventor's fair on Friday. Great job Jake!!

Bathtime!

Happy May Day!

Happy May Day! Here Danika is starting her May Day present. We didn't do baskets. We made cookie flowers!	Here they are! Our Chocolate Chip Cookie Flowers! Thankfully we just had enough. Danika's lunch was of course cookie dough!
Danika also had her last day of school. Here she is with Daddy during free choice time. It was a sad day since school is over for the summer.	Teachers Kelly and Josh. Teacher Jessi.
