Cole & Ketchup

So......Cole loves the condiments! No matter what it is, he loves it! It really stinks when he is fine with the french fry in his hand but wants to dip it as soon as we open any ketchup or bbq sauce. Too funny! We have more than a few photos and videos proving this but I will just post a couple below to document this condiment phase! :)

4D Ultrasound!!!

Tonight we had an appointment with Bella Angel Imaging in Maple Grove to get a 4D ultrasound of Zach. We have been able to do this with Taylor and Cole and we definitely wanted to be able to do it with Zach. Bella Angel is awesome! The facility is so nice! Very warm and welcoming! Both sets of parents have also been able to attend each ultra sound and this one was no different! After we were finished with our appointment we walked across the parking lot to Dave and Busters and had dinner there. It was a very nice evening and a very special time for us! The only photos that captured the evening though were the images of Zach! I can't remember why we didn't take any pictures of us but it just didn't happen! I hope I can post his pictures soon!

Sleepover at Nana & Papa's

My parents are amazing! My mom asked if they could take the boys over night so that Mike and I could have some time alone and so last night was the night! If you could have seen the boys as they drove away, it would have melted your heart. They were so happy and excited and Taylor waved the whole way down the road - he was so excited to be going to Nana and Papa's! It was such a sweet special time for Mike and I. We were able to sleep in, hang out, go shopping, walk around and enjoy each other without interruption. Somehow when you have kids, uninterrupted time becomes very precious! :) Thank you Mom and Dad for being so wonderful! The boys LOVED their time with you!

Softball.....

The softball season is upon us! This came way too fast! I don't know why this year but it did. All of a sudden here we are packing up the kids and heading over to the field to play softball......such a wonderful sign that spring/summer is here! We played Berean tonight and they were a great team! Mike's friend Matt Fure is one of the pastor's there so it was good to see him and his little boy Jack - so cute! Unfortunately, they were such a great team that we lost pretty good to them. But hey, it's good practice right? Hopefully as the season progresses we will get better and better. I guess we can't get worse and worse, can we? Oh, side note - iPad has a great app that lets you keep score and stats on everyone and it is awesome!!! Everyone on the team can see it later once you upload it to their website! It was super fun to enter everything.....this is going to make stat keeping so easy! Anyways, love it! Oh, its GameChanger if anyone was wondering! :)

Mother's Day!

I had a wonderful Mother's Day and just wanted to post that I love my husband and I love my kids! They are so precious to me and are my world! I couldn't have asked for a better husband and family....God is so good to me.

Farmers Market

How fun is the Farmers Market?! Too fun! Our church held a ladies retreat this weekend and everyone went up to Duluth but my mom and I didn't go so I asked her if she would like to go to the Farmers Market this morning. She of course, said YES! She picked me up at 6:15 and we headed down there. The morning ended up being absolutely beautiful and of course so did the rest of today which has been a wonderful gift in and of itself! Sunshine! We found the best planters filled with amazing flowers and we were able to get some for my grandma who is still in the hospital for Mother's Day. I got one too and it is gorgeous! I can't wait to see how everything looks once I put it together and take some pictures! I also found this annual that loves shade - which is what I have - and it's called monkey flower.......never ever heard of it before! But it really compliments my planter so I'm happy about that. We went to Home Depot after that to get potting soil and some miscellaneous things which was fun too! It was such a great day! Great day! Thank you Honey for watching the boys! :)

The Shepherd does not ask of thee
Faith in your faith, but only faith in Him;
And this He meant in saying, "Come to me."
In light or darkness seek to do His will,
And leave the work of faith to Jesus still.
