Grandma & Grandpa's 50th Wedding Annversary Party

We had a Blast!! Grandma and Grandpa really enjoyed themselves. Most of the family was there at some point and their closest 4 family frineds too. We heard lots of stories and laughs. We are so lucky to have them in good health and hopefully that stays for another 50 years!!

A day of trying new things!

We went to Minocqua with Grammy and Grandpa D yesterday. We ate at Paul Bunyon's and then went and seen Carrie at Eichenholz. Then, we took Brock to the Go Kart track and he loved it!! He just wanted to catch Grandpa but our kart just wasn't fast enough. He smiled and wante to go faster, then told me " mama drive crazy!" Then I had this good idea that he should ride the ponys, he went over there and picked out the one he wasnted to ride, Buttercup. He was excited until she kept stopping and making all these god awful noises and it scared him. Buttercup and Brock did not remain friends for long, but he did say bye to her and told her he would see her later, poor Buttercup! He did not cry but was not to sure about the whole ordeal. I think he felt much more comfortable on the concrete horse!!

Bath Time

The boys love the bath tub.

Mom, There's Thomas!!

Well, Thomas was a hit! Brock could not even look at us, he was in complete and utter Thomas overload, but in a good way! He loved the train ride with Thomas and the whole National Railroad Museum. He liked looking at all the trains, he counted their wheels and said all of there colors. It was actually very educational. We got to take a 1/2 hour train ride with Thomas, he got to take pictures with him and Sir Topemhat. He got a Thomas Tatoo, played with lots of Thomas trains sets, and of course got to pick out some stuff from the huge Thomas the train Gift Tent! He picked a T-Shirt and a placemat. Drayke got to stay and play with aunt Brenda which worked out awsome that Brock got all of our attention for his big day. It made the day much easier especially with all the crazy kids running around. He said bye to Thomas and told him he would be back next year to see him and take his brother for a ride. He blew him kisses and told him he loved him. It was so adorable, he talked to him until he couldn't see him anymore. I think it was a successful 2nd Birthday!!

Happy Birthday Brock

Oh my gosh, Brock is 2!! The big day was a little bit of a downer, both of the boys were sick with Pink Eye and Ear Infections. We had a cake with just us and made the best of it. He had a Birthday Party planned but we had to cancel it becuase of them being sick. He got tons of Thomas the Train stuff.....I never got this much cool stuff for any of my birthdays, he is spoiled!! He got a Thomas bedding set from Grandpa and Granma D and Tons of Thomas Books from Grandma and Grandpa A. Our house and his room is decked out in Thomas crap. For one of his presents, we are taking him to see Thomas the Train in Green Bay. We hope he will enjoy it.

Drayke was also 10 weeks old on Brock's Birthday. He is doing well, growing really fast lately. He is laughing and cooing up a storm.

6 Weeks old and 23 Months old

Wow, time is flying by this year. Brock just turned 23 months old and Drayke 6 weeks. They are both doing very well. Brock loves the warm weather, he would spend all day outside if he could. Drayke is smiling up a storm the past week. It is very cute and fun to watch him develop a personality and change. He love to swing in the garage, he hangs out in there while we play outside so can be close but not in the sun. Twig and I are doing well too. We are just waiting to get some more landscaping done so our kids can have a yard to play in! Some days I think Brock will miss all the dirt, but I sure won't, he tends to drag half of it in the house with him at night!! Brock and I spend alot of time 4 wheeling, he has his helmet and glasses and so do I. He loves riding. The little stinker figured out how to turn on the 4 wheeler, good thing he can't reach the shifter yet!! I have to take the key out now.....he is too smart for his own good!! Hard to belive that Brock is almost 2...where in the heck did all the time go?

3 Weeks Old already!!

Time is going by even faster with 2 kids!! Drayke is 3 weeks old already and Brock is almost 22 months. Everyone is doing very well and healthy. Drayke seen his doctor 2x since we got out of the NICU and he gave him a good bill of health. He gained almost 1 lb in 1 week, he eats non stop!
