So darn cute....

My parents got themselves a Wii for Christmas. We played bowling and Joshua had all of us rolling on the floor as we watched him. The crazy part was, that he was getting strikes and picking up spares left and right!

The approach...

...the wind up...

...the release...

...wait for it...
...the victory dance.

Haircuts, football, turkey, and cake...wrapping up 2009!

Evan's 1st haircut...finally
Tada...the finished product!

We had our annual OSU/U of M party in November and had a great time catching up with our friends.

Liza Jane and Joshua are 1 week apart in age. They show that even the biggest rivals can be friends :)

Anne, Pam, and I.

Joshua's 1st snowmobile ride. He absolutely LOVED it! TJ says it's in his blood :)

We spent Thanksgiving at my parents and enjoyed seeing cousins, and aunts and uncles. Joshua was his cousin Collin's shadow the whole weekend!

It was fun seeing all the little kids playing. Five kiddos under the age of 3 = pure entertainment! (Evan, Collin, Joshua, Caleb, Ian, and Kenzie)

My dad, mom, brother and nephew...and of course, us :)

The boys helping me make TJ's birthday cupcakes.

This was such an adorable moment. Evan crawled up on the couch and put his arm around Joshua. In the 1st picture, Joshua just realized that he did it...

...and here he is loving every minute of it! (This makes up for all the other times when they are taking things from each other and yelling!!)

My three loves of my life!

Happy Halloween!

Hope everyone had a great Halloween! Joshua was Diego and Evan was a sea turtle. We had Grandma and Grandpa Wickstrom here on their way to Florida and we invited our cousins Andy and Kris with their pirate, James to go trick-or-treating.

Fall outdoor fun

Joshua's 3rd Birthday!!!

GO DIEGO GO!!

Joshua had a great 3rd birthday! He was so excited to pick out his birthday theme and have friends over to play games and celebrate with him! Thanks to all who came to the party!

Playing catch-up...summer in a nutshell!!!

Well, a lot has happened since last spring. We had 2 birthday parties, a jam~packed summer of fun visiting friends and family. We went on our 1st family camping trip with our church to Camp Concordia in August and had a blast! Saw a few Whitecaps baseball games, went to Binder Park Zoo, and spent a lot of time playing outside.
Joshua had a Diego 3rd birthday party in April. He also just started riding his bike without training wheels and we are so proud of him! He is going to preschool three days a week in the mornings and he loves it...so far! Over the summer, his speech really started improving and at preschool, he will be getting speech therapy once a week.
Evan had a Mickey Mouse 1st birthday party in July. He is growing so quickly and just started walking in the past week. He loves Joshua and his face lights up when he sees his big brother come home from school. His crazy personality is really beginning to show!
So, I'll just post some pics to keep you updated of this summer! Hope everyone is doing well and getting back into the fall routine!
