Day 212

My text to Ryan while stopped in this traffic (yes I texted while I was driving but we weren't going anywhere fast. I sat in the same spot for 5+ minutes.) I just want to sit in a quiet room when I get home.

Day 211

Doesn't everyone have a trouble game piece in their grape bowl?!? No wonder why these kids can never find the things they are looking for when they hide them in places like this!

Day 210

Nolan's favorite game is to shut the doors and cry until someone comes and opens them. He will do this over and over. It's a lot of fun when you are trying to get stuff done.

Day 209

Enjoying another out door movie night at the neighbors.

Day 208

Spying on the girls. Cute when he's 4 and trouble when he's 14.

Day 207

My cousins stopped by tonight while they were on their bike ride from LaCrosse. Spencer was so excited to get to sit on the bike and go around our cul-da-sac. At first he said a slow ride by the end he was asking to go faster. He is our fearless child and that totally surprises me. I thought it would be Easton that has no fear but he went running when the motorcycle started up.

Day 206

He's so close to writing his name. Now if we could just get him to turn his "S" a little it would be ok. We had his parent teacher conference tonight.

Day 205

Ryan took Spencer to the share holders meeting in Green Bay. Looks like Spencer took a lot in. He's asleep!

Day 204

Tonight I had to go back to daycare to get his blanket. One got left at grandma's so we only have the one that got left. I wonder if this blanket will go to college with him?

Day 203

Ryan needed some quiet time when I got home. So the boys and I road our bikes to the park. Nolan had fun playing on the toys.

Day 202

It was country jam this weekend. While Jenny and Kari got to go up on stage Paula and I kept cool with these fans. It was HOT HOT HOT out there! Thanks for a great weekend as always!

Day 201

I found this picture on the blog from daycare of Nolan playing with his friends.

Day 200

Every morning when we drop the boys off. Easton wants me to tuck him in at his table. He wants his blanket on his lap because he's cold and his morning snack opened. This child is spoiled! He also only wants me to carry him in. Of course to make things easier at drop offs I give in to these requests.

Day 199

Nolan had Therapy today. You can still see he tilts to the left. This is the therapy tape on his back.

Day 198

Putting the big brother to work.

Day 197

Today was my first 5k. The Color Run!

Day 196

Just like that he turns 1 and the bottle are gone. I didn't think I would run out of formula that fast. He's done well so far.

Day 195

I saved his life and then because he was laughing when I caught him I took a picture.

Day 194

Poor Nolan how is he supposed to eat with this one jumping up in his face.

Day 193

Tonight I had a hair appointment and met a friend for dinner. Spencer and Easton are having troubles with me leaving them in the evening to go do things. They run after me crying like their worlds are falling apart.

So he made sure to stay awake until I got home.

Day 192

Giving up the morning bottle is going to be a challenge for Nolan.

Day 191

The boys tested out our volleyball court. 

Day 190

We now have locks on here. It was getting old picking all of the Rubbermaid up over and over again.

Day 189

Gathering of the teams. Today is our cul-da-sac olympics.

Day 188

Cheeks and mouth full of food. Easton likes to pocket his food. He was still chewing on that food 20 minutes later. No wonder why he's so little. I'm pretty sure the only reason why he swallowed it was because we wouldn't let him ride his jeep until it was gone.

Day 187

At work this is usually worth money in the parking ramp. Today this little thing cost me $42. This would also be the reason our DVD player in our van hasn't been working for a few weeks. After the guy took it out and apart he found it. When I called to check on the van he told me it was "a case of the unattended children." Thanks for calling me out on my parenting.

Day 186

Every year Grandma has to prove 1 thing and that is that she can still get up on skis!

Day 185

I made cookies for the boys and their classes today. Nolan's class made thank yous for me.

Day 184

You know I must love my boys when I gave in and got them these pjs.

Day 183

The boys now get to sit in the way back together. I haven't decided if this is a good or bad idea yet. They like being by each other but they usually end up picking on each other.

Day 182

My dad's attempt of taking a picture at John and Jenns wedding = worst picture ever!

Day 181

Smores and dirt/grass don't mix!
