Star Wars





The boys are totally into "Star Wars" right now and love pretending to be Storm Troopers or Luke Skywalker. They take it very serious! Notice all the other toys laying around......they played with all of them too! Nothing went on-touched :-)

Christmas




All our Christmas parties were spread out this year which was really nice. We had time to stay and enjoy the food and company without being rushed like years past. Unfortunately, Brock came down with pneumonia and missed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, but Tim was able to see everyone.

Music Program


Tim and Brock have music class at their daycare. Ms. Paula comes once a week for music lessons. Pictured above is a snapshot of their Christmas program in which they each played an instrument and sang. It was pretty cute. By the end of the program, only 3 boys remained on the stage.

Artic Animal Antics at the MN Zoo
















Brock (Mommy, Monica, and Cullen) went to Artic Animal Antics, a class at the MN Zoo. The boys had a lot of fun making snow, coloring, meeting animals, and playing with the parachute. Brock was really excited when the teacher brought out the chinchilla for the kids to pet. He also loved the lizard:-)










Halloween.....












The boys were really excited for Halloween this year. It all started a few weeks back with picking out our pumpkins at the pumpkin patch and carving them with Grandma Laurie. Next, we did some decorating around the house. Tim picked out his costume, "The Incredible Hulk," and Brock was happy with "Mickey Mouse." (Tim's costume from a few years ago.) Finally, Halloween arrived and they went trick-or-treating with Daddy!
We also went to a birthday party with a Halloweeen theme and they got to wear their costumes one more time:-)

Trip to the Apple Orchard





Tim had his first school field trip at the Lakeville Apple Orchard. Kristine took the day off to go along with Tim and his class. The kids got to help make apple juice, go on a hay-ride, pick apples, and their favorite part, climbing and playing in the hay. The weather was great and we had a great time! We made apple turn-overs with our apples to wrap things up!
