Brothers

Marcus and Erik love playing together. They now share a bed and most of the time share their toys. They get up early in the morning and will play in their room together until one or both get to hungry. Marcus loves waking Erik up from his nap so they can play.  They are best buds! Marcus is always willing to get something down off a high shelf for Erik so they can both get into mischief. 

Winterfest/Agg Days

The kids had a busy, 5 hours worth and fun day checking out the animals and doing crafts at Agg Days and playing and eating treats at Winterfest. We brought along the kids friends Nick and Luke for the day.  Everyone had lots of fun and had lots of goodies to bring home.

Swim & Donuts

Natalya swam the whole length of the pool today all by herself! She got in by the diving board and swam her little heart out all the way to the other end. When she was about 5 feet from the edge of the shallow end she lifts her head up out of the water and Mike thought she was asking for help and couldn't make it. But instead she lifted her head up long enough to say she wanted donuts and then continued swimming to the edge of the pool. What a silly girl! To get her to want to try to swim we have bribed her with donuts before and I guess she thought she deserved them since she swam across the whole pool.  So of course we had to stop and get her a donut on the way home. She is a great little swimmer now, swim team here we come!

Slime!

The Valentine's Fairy gave ingredients to make slime this year in the kids mailboxes.  They had lots of fun mixing it, picking their own color and playing with it.

Daddy Daughter Dance

Mike and Raquel attended the Daddy Daughter dance again this year.   They had a fun time going out to dinner, dancing and then coming home and playing games. Raquel sure loves her dad!
