Kieran with his wonderful teacher, Mrs. Leiting!

He did it! We are so proud of him!

Wordless Wednesday!

Lauritzen Legos

We recently took the kids to Lauritzen Gardens in Omaha to see the Lego Displays. It was amazing to see the cool things they built and how many lego's it took to build them! Kieran's very much into this lego's right now and he's been showing the Lauritzen Lego Brochure to everyone!

 

After we saw the Lego's, we walked up the hill to see the Union Pacific Trains!

The boys loved those too!

They were on top of a hill an the wind literally almost blew Chloe over!!

 

It was a fun family afternoon together! 

Tee Ball

Kieran had his 1st Tee Ball Game last Saturday! It was fun and entertaining to see the kids learning the fundamentals of Tee Ball. Kieran did a great job!

Practicing with his team before the game.

Batting!

Running the bases!

Getting some coaching from dad at 3rd base!

Looking forward to another game tonight!!

Mother's Day

I feel so very blessed that God has given me the role of mommy to my three wonderful children! They are truly a gift from God!

Happy Mother's Day to all moms out there! I hope your day was as great as mine was!!

Donut Baking

I received a donut maker for Christmas from my cousin...or maybe I should say from my aunt :-) My cousin, Vincent, drew my name but his mom did the shopping! Anyway, the boys and I tried it out on a Saturday morning recently.

They were in charge of the cinnamon/sugar topping!

Fun, quick and easy!

Our donuts may not look as pretty as the ones on the box, but they sure did taste good!

Thanks Cuz!!

Little Miss Mess Maker

My mom has always said, "Don't get mad, just take a picture." That's probably because she's the scrapbooker! Either way, we've had lots of moments in our house where I didn't get mad but took a picture! I will admit, when we go back and see these pictures in the photo books (little boys playing in the toilet, little boys dumping the salt all over the table), it does bring a smile to our face!

As we were helping the boys brush their teeth and get ready for bed, we walked in to their bedroom to find Chloe emptying...or rather throwing...all of Kiptyn's clothes out on to the floor!

What?!

Yep. Pretty proud of herself!

We call Chloe the "Mess Maker" in our house these days!

Pretzel Making

My boys made homemade pretzels recently! Some salted and some with cinnamon and sugar on them!

Watching the dough mix up in the bread machine!

Learning the art of rolling out a pretzel!

Baking Time!

Yummy!!

Wordless Wednesday!
