The Best Mother's Day!

I had the best time celebrating Mother's Day this weekend. The kids made me the sweetest cards and they gave me some beautiful flowers. Brian and the kids made me a delicious breakfast this morning and I was even able to have time to blow dry my hair before going to church! Grandpa, Grandma, and Jason came over yesterday. We were able to have a BBQ and celebrate together. After church today, Karen, Kristi, and I took Mom out for our traditional lunch, Caribou Coffee, pedicures, and shopping at Marshals. It was a lovely time together and I am so thankful for my Mom! I am glad that my Dad was able to spend time with Brian and the kids while we were gone. We closed out the day by having a campfire in our backyard. I love being Mom to my three beautiful kids! God is good!

Brian had fun taking pictures of the kids!

Beginning of May

We have been loving the spring weather! Last night we had a double date out to dinner with our dear friends Shane and Anna Long. We are thankful for their friendship!

A couple of weeks ago, Eli went on a field trip with his class to the Minnesota History Center. 

For preschool, Asa got the opportunity to take Clifford home and play with him. We wrote about what he did with Clifford and took some fun pictures of them together.

Asa loves to ride his bike!

Greta is getting pretty speedy on her bike too!

Greta's hair is growing longer and sometimes she lets me braid it.

Our backyard is still pretty lake like, though it is greener and less wet since we took this picture about a month ago.

Painting time!

Asa's self portrait. I am a little confused on the hair and skin color? He said that he was digging for a purple rock in the picture.

Eli loves to play "outdoor adventure leader" with his brother and sister.

Popsicle time!

Greta loves her big girl bike.

Asa had family tradition day at school. It was fun to put the poster board together!

I love the beautiful sunsets in our backyard.

She loves baths like her mother.
