In love

These past 2 weeks have been filled with a DIY bathroom project!  Scott did 95% of the work himself and I ABSOLUTELY love it!  Nice job hon! :)

Did I mention that I love it!??!  :)

At church from morning til night...

This morning we had nursery duty at church....Scott laid down to play with one of the boys and before you know if *most* of the kids were dog piling Scott.... 

 Not sure who was having more fun....the kids or Scott! :)

VBS kicked off tonight at our church....and you can't imagine the excitement that has been building at our house! You see, its a 'farm' theme!  For the tractor loving boys in my house....it's a little piece of heaven!  Scott & Soren signed up to help with music, and for the past week Soren has independently been going downstairs, putting in the 'practice' DVD and learning all the songs and actions!  He is loving it! A few pics off my phone! 

Kari comes to visit...

Cousin Kari came to visit the end of May....and boy did we have a great time!  Soren was very very very sad to see her leave!  They played hard from morning until night.....and really got along well!  We absolutely loved having her here and can't wait for her to come back next fall!  What more could a boy want than a built in playmate! :)

About McDonalds

This past week I decided to splurge (mostly I was short on time)....and run thru the McDonald's drive thru.

Soren: Mom, how come we never come here?
Me: Well buddy, it's not really a healthy option!
Soren: So does that mean Burger King is a LOT healthier than McDonald's?

Not so much....

:)

Weekend away....

This past weekend we (just the 4 of us) got to spend a weekend away!  It was time to love on our kids and enjoy them!  We first made a stop to see some good friends and their two kids!

Not bad for 7 out of 8 looking at a 'timer!'  :)

We then trekked onward to the Wisconsin Dells! I gotta admit, I wasn't overly thrilled at the thought of the Dells....in my mind it's a big tourist trap!  I still feel that it's a HUGE tourist trap....but the resort we stayed at was absolutely perfect for our kids!  It had indoor/outdoor water parks and indoor/outdoor amusement parks! The bonus of it all....was that it wasn't busy! We never waited more than 5 mins in line!  It was SO fun to see Soren love love love the thrill of roller coasters and water rides!  Scott & I were both shocked at his lack of fear....it was awesome! 

 Despite the serious face....Kin loved go carts too!!

 An absolute favorite rollercoaster for Soren!

 It was nice to spend some time at the parks too!

 "Cheese!"

 We went to a wild west type restaurant that served all the food and drinks on a train!  It was a hit!

 Loving the water.

 Soren & I went on one of the famous Duck Boat Tours....land and water!  

 Good times in the jacuzzi tub! 

Another indoor play area.

We have all come home exhausted but it's a good exhausted.  It means that we played hard and had a great time! :)

Thoughtful husband!!

These were delivered to my doorstep today....because its nurses week! :)

Rain, hills, and wind.....oh my!!

Today Scott ran his first 1/2 marathon!  I am SO proud of him! The theme of today's run was as mentioned above!! :/ Soren & I got to be there to cheer him on and see the pure relief mixed with excitement as he crossed the finish line!  It has been a great morning!  We love you hon! Way to go!

Maybe the next one won't be SO chilly!! :)
