Winter can be fun! (sometimes!!)

The boys love it when the ice gets thick enough to go ice-fishing!  They would stay out all day!

 Panning for gold works in the winter too!

 We build lincoln logs, legos and puzzles over and over and over again!

 Every Friday we try to hit the bowling alley to get out of the house!

 We cheer on our favorite football teams on Sundays!

 Well - when they lose we get very upset!

And we seem to get in lots and lots of trouble!

Winter ONEderland! Brenna's First Birthday!

Brenna's first birthday was perfect!  It was a winter ONEderland theme so we had lots and lots of snowflakes on the inside of St. Sue but no snow on the outside!  Therefore, most of our closest friends and family made it to celebrate with her.  She was such a trooper and loved her cake and all of her presents.  I can hardly believe that her first birthday has already come.  Time is flying by!  She has five teeth - working on six.  She is almost walking - she will take three or four steps and then quickly sit down.  She loves to say "MaMa, DaDa, BubBub and NahNah (her Ninnie).  She loves playing with her doll babies and she loves to try to play with Remi.  She has also started clapping, growling (thanks Jason) and dancing.  She is such a joy!

Christmas 2014

Brenna's First Christmas was so much fun!  She was so excited for presents (well, mostly paper and boxes!)  She got quite a few babies and loves being their "MaMa" as she says! The boys also had a great Christmas!  Drew woke up a little crabby (probably because we didn't get home until 1:00 a.m.) but was super excited once he saw that Santa came!

Daddy got Conner and Drew a new RZR for Christmas!  They LOVE IT!

And of course, he got Brenna her first 4-wheeler!!!  She too is enjoying riding around!

MawMaw and PawPaw got the boys metal detectors as one of their gifts.  They are always out treasure hunting when the weather is nice!
