I Love My Boys

I really love my sweet and busy little boys. We have so much fun together! It has been so warm outside for January lately. It was 45 degrees today! The boys and I played outside in the backyard for an hour and a half this morning. The boys loved being outside and so did I! I notice that my house stays so much cleaner when we go outside more often. 

Eli is potty trained now and so proud of himself! Asa has a large vocabulary and it is so fun to hear him say new words. Eli continues to enjoy playing with balls and Asa likes cars.  Both boys enjoy dancing to music and listening to stories. The boys especially enjoy going to story time at the library each week on Tuesday. We meet up with my friend Tracy and her son Ben.

Happy New Year 2015!

Wow, I realized it has been a long time since I have updated the blog. This will be a long post as I am trying to catch up! Here is what we have been up to in the past month! 

Eli had a blast riding the Blues Skidoo ride at Mall of America!


Mommy and Eli enjoyed finger painting together


We finally finished the playroom in the basement! It is wonderful to have a place for all of the toys and for the boys to play!




Three cute boys in a box! We had a fun movie night at Kari and Jeremy's house a few weeks ago. Eli, their son Bennett, and Asa all decided to climb in a box. So fun to watch them play together!


The boys had fun playing cars with Papa and Uncle David at Papa and Nana's house



The weather has been warmer outside, the boys have enjoyed being able to play in the back yard and get out of the house!



Over Christmas break we went to Sea Life Aquarium at Mall of America as a family. The boys loved it!
