Gardening

Abel placing his plants in the dirt

Axel getting his plants in the dirt

The boys and I finally got to dig in the dirt today. I love having flowers/plants around and I love getting my hands in the dirt to grow something. It's just a beginner of my planting plans for the summer but my helpers did such a good job!

Mother's Day

Are there any fish in the lake?

 Happy Mother's day! We ended up going to my parent's cabin for a night. We haven't been there for 3 years and when I heard my parent's were going to open it up for the summer I couldn't help but want to go. I have always loved going to the cabin. It's so cool to share the cabin I grew up in with my boys. Thanks Mom and Dad for a fun night.

Watching the sunset

Yeah the dock is ready!

 

We only spent one night this time but I can't wait for long weekends to come this summer. Don't worry boys next time we will get to swim in the lake, ride in the boat and go fishing! This weekend was spent getting the dock and lift ready because the ice had just gone out on the lake. It was windy and chilly but a great way to spend my Mother's Day weekend. With my Mom and at the cabin. Love you Mom.

Almost 2

ABEL-
can't believe that you are turning 2 in a few weeks. You are not a baby any more. He has turned into a little person this last month or so. He has more words all the time ("ball, purple"-just today) he climbs on top of every chair in the house, has to try every thing on his own ("I do Momma!")and loves being by his brother. He likes daycare once he is there but the drop off is still rough on Mom. Luckliy Brian does it most of the time. Once we pull into the lot of the school he points and says "No!" I'm sad that the 2 year mark is so close but I do really like the toddler phase.

Snow in May

Went to the city wide garage sale today in the snow. Brian had to grab the canoe. The boys seemed to already love their new boat. Warm weather or not! We do see a small amount of super green grass under the snow. Hopefully when it all melts the yard will look amazing.

Owie

Owie. Abel. So curious and has no fear.  He tries hard to keep up with his brother. Falls but gets right back up-after a short mom hug and a few tears.  Luckliy a kiss from Mom and a little icecream helps the owie go away. The drive way is going to be rough on you this summer.

                              Enjoying a sunny day together. Eating icecream cones on the deck.

Birthday Parties

The picture is SO Axel

 We have been busy with B-day parties latley. The boys have been loving it. Abel loves when people sing the Birthday song and Axel loves the cakes!

Still waiting....

Shark bites!

 We are STILL waiting for spring! Man do we want to go outside and play. Since it's still a little snowy and cold outside went hang out at the MOA this weekend. We have a pass to the under water world. It's a nice excuse to get some walking in, window shop and have the boys check out some animals.

His first Star Bucks...(apple juice only)

My boys. They have so much energy- some days I don't know how we keep up to the them. This is why is nice to have them run around some where besides the house. I think we are all sick f the house right now. I think ever one was fibbing last year when they said MN was so warm! Ha I'd like to see it. Maybe that will help the sun come out if I make it a bet!
Abel-
so many words starting to come out. I think I forget to write them down. Here are a few of the newer things he is saying.
-sit down Momma
-right there
-No - he loves to use this one for every thing!
-"ine" or mine
I love that more words come every day!
