New Years Eve Party @ Pinstripes

Fun afternoon celebrating Sabrina and Evan's 20th wedding anniversary.

Ski day with Dad

Our new pets

Carter got a 10 gallon fish tank for Christmas. Been learning a lot about tank heaters, filters, etc. He was very excited to pick out four tropical fish this afternoon from the store.

We figured he has kept his goldfish alive since July so he demonstrated that he is responsible.

Christmas Eve at Hosanna!

We are starting the think Logan...

Was adopted from a family in Ohio. Or maybe if we keep buy garb he will qualify for instate tuition in 7 years.

Happy 11th Birthday Logan!

Great picture of Owen

Love this weather

Saturday and Sunday were both over 50 degrees! This is a perfect Minnesota winter. Of course the boys are made all the snow has disappeared.

Carter reading to Owen.

Let's GO Wild!!!!

Feeling blessed

Thank you to our neighbor who stopped by and gave us a bucket full of adorable 0-6 months clothes - many with the tags still on. There must be 40+ different outfits. We are set for our little addition. THANK YOU! Also got the nursery done this weekend, baby seat installed in the car, and all the Christmas decorations up. We are ready.....

It was also a blessing to wake up to 50 degree weather this AM. No more snow! The boys even played baseball outside today.

2nd Place Lakeville South Tournament

After losing the first game of the season, the boys won 5 straight and made it to the championship game this past weekend. After trading baskets early in the game, Shakopee went on a run and we were down 19-8 at halftime. After a pep talk the Cougars applied their intense full court press and went on a 13-2 run. Logan scored a basket to tie the game with less than a minute to play. We called a timeout and drew up/ran a perfect play but the ball didn't drop. In the rebound one of our boys fouled their player with 4 seconds left and they made a free throw to win. What a game! We have 2 weeks off now before going into the regular season with back-to-back tournaments.

Eagan basketball tournament

After a tough first game loss to Eden Prairie, the boys bounced back and won three in a row against Lakeville North, East Ridge and Rosemount to win the consolation championship. Good start to the season. Only 5 more months and eight more weekends dedicated to basketball. Ha! Carter finished hockey try outs this weekend and we should find out his team soon. There will be (13) Mite teams - he is hoping to make one of the top (4) Advanced Mite 3 teams.

Puzzle Fun

7 days and 500 pieces later Carter finished the famous Mayfield hamburger puzzle - been in the family for over 25 years.

Getting ready for some tricks

Happy Halloween! We have 30 neighbors coming over for pre-trick or treating pizza (and adult beverages). Should be fun having all those costumes running around the house. Logan decided this AM to change costumes. Said he was too old to dress up - rather just wants to wear his football gear. Stay warm out there tonight!

Fun carving pumpkins

We are transitioning our blog to Facebook. Check out Sara's page for more updates.

Dad & Carter Day at Valleyscare

Happy Halloween

Getting ready for #3

I think we are starting to "nest". Baby's room is slowly coming together.

Happy Halloween

Carter's favorite holiday is quickly approaching. The neighborhood is active every night with kids ghosting and booing each other.

Enjoyed a nice couple days in Salt Lake this week

Closing down Valleyfair

After a morning of football and hockey, Carter and a buddy spent the afternoon and evening at Valleyfair. The two are a perfect match as they are nuts. Late in the PM they were no lines and they ran from roller coaster to roller coaster. Carter even went on the Looping Starship for the first time.  They literally got off of one roller coaster and ran right back onto it.  They finished the night with three turns on the Extrme Swing. My stomach gets sick just thinking of them! Heading home for a sleepover..
