Winter 2012

The boys taking advantage of the snow and frozen lake. It's been an odd winter, so far we have for sure less than 10 inches of snowfall and currently the ground is completely bare. Very strange for February. The temperature finally dipped down into the single digits this week. Otherwise, we've been enjoying the mild 30's and 40's.

Celebrating Grandma Pat's 70th Birthday

Silly boys!

Wonderful family gathering at our home. Auntie Sharon's french dip sandwiches were a hit!

Christmas 2011

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

We waited until Karson turned 3 to let him meet Santa, hoping the first time would be a good experience. His big smile says it all! We thought he may hesitate from sitting on his lap but he jumped right up there and told Santa he wanted the Dinosaur Train for Christmas. He's sure trying really hard to be a good boy. He has learned the words to a few traditional songs this year, it's cute to hear him when he doesn't know you are listening.

Monster Jam at the Mall of America Field (Metrodome)

Karson, Andrew, Jeremy and Patrick intently watching the monster truck show. Must have ear plugs, these trucks are insanely LOUD!

This is the first time we've taken Karson. He was so excited, seem to enjoy it. Many of the trucks flip over and crash. He wasn't sure what to think of that at the beginning but by the end he was cheering when someone would flip over.

Looks close - truck is in mid air.

He also liked that the bulldozers and loaders would come out onto the track to clear off the trucks. So fun for little boys!
