Michael's Pet Show Project

Michael had a pet show project for 2nd grade. He did his project on Porter, our Rottweiler, who passed away this past May. He did such a good job!

Glee

Ok, my new background is a nod to one of my favorite shows on TV. I love the show glee. I'll admit it...I'm a gleek and have been since the show debuted last year.
I have always enjoyed shows or movies where people sing and dance. They just make me HAPPY. Plus, I really appreciate watching people with talents that I don't have...not that I'm a horrible dancer...just a horrible singer. Ha! Plus, who doesn't love Sue Sylvester?!? ;)

Tomorrow, Tomorrow, I Love You!

New LOUD PJ's

How about these pj's??!! Super bright, super loud, "hard of hearing" pj's! Of course, the boys LOVE them!

Happy 60th Birthday Papa Mike!

We couldn't be with Papa Mike to celebrate his 60th birthday but this song is sent with lots of love across the miles! xoxo

Puzzles, Bakugans & Lego "Obstacles"

Saturday mornings are filled with puzzles, Bakugan playing and Lego obstacle building!

Justin loves to get all his puzzles out, dump the pieces on the floor and put them back together. He's actually getting really good with the more advanced regular puzzles.

Michael still loves to play with his Bakugans (thank goodness since he has TONS of them!) and is now into building what he calls his "Lego obstacles". Maybe we have a future engineer in our family?!

Happy Birthday Mommy!

This video says it all. My sweet sweet boys sang Happy Birthday to me...I love those little buggers.

Mommy's Birthday Cake

The boys insisted that Mommy's birthday cake have red, yellow and blue balloons plus candles. I found it!

Michael & Justin Trees

The year that Michael was born (2004), Mom and Dad found a small pine tree pop up out of nowhere right next to the front steps of the Wadena house. This past summer they replanted it out in the backyard. Michael is now taller than his special tree!

As fate would have it, the exact same thing happened the year Justin was born (2007). His tree will not be replanted in the back yard until he's in Kindergarten (like Michael). These pictures show his tree just peaking through the snow.

The boys love seeing their special Wadena trees when we visit up North. What wonderful memories they are creating!
