wiggly tooth

Rowan's new nick name is Wiggly tooth. She has one bottom tooth that is so ready to come out. Time will tell.

outside fun

Got to spend some fun time outside with our neighbor friends today. It's weird having all the kids off of school this week.

spring break trip

...to grandpa and grandma's house in Lyndon Station.

 

Got to ride the 4 wheeler, do some shopping, got Easter baskets...and on and on. More fun for this little time off of school.

ss zoo trip

We were able to meet the Schuett family at the zoo today because of Spring break. Was a cooler day but at least the sun was shining. Fun day.

Easter 2014

Apparently the Easter bunny thought we should work on our catching and throwing this year. Kids sure had full fun baskets. And tons of eggs scattered around the house full of candy and even some money. I didn't do a good job of taking pictures of baskets. The kids were spoiled by many Easter bunny's this year like usual.

Then there was coloring eggs...

The day started out quite cool and breezy...but it warmed up nicely when we were out and about today.

We headed to Grandpa Kris and Grandma Julie's house for lunch today. Got to have an egg hunt outside and got more baskets. Fun fun fun.

Last night we also celebrated the kids birthdays and got Easter baskets from Nana and Papa. Then this morning we headed over to Dusty and Julie's house before we all headed home for Easter tomorrow. Kids spoiled as usual. Movie and Popcorn for a little downtime. More pics to come.

Meet in the middle

We drove down to Illinois today to meet up for the weekend with Nana and Papa, Dusty and Julie, Blayne, Molly, Kieran, Grady and Madden. We started the day at LEGOLAND! Such fun. So many things to do and see. The kids had fun. Ed did too!

 

Then we headed for lunch at Chipotle.

After lunch we headed to the hotel, did some swimming. Then out for pizza dinner and some bowling. Eddie is obsessed to say the least with a bowling ball. Kid wouldn't put his ball down. Pretty cute. Was a long day of fun activities.

Just hanging out..being cute. (and probably naughty too)

MN update

Well, sure was a long day yesterday. We ended up looking at 11 houses total. Ended up crossing one city off the list without even looking at any houses after determining that the commute was more than we wanted. At the end of the day, we had it narrowed down to 2 houses in 2 different cities. One in Forest Lake and the other in Hugo. There was also a $60,000 difference in price between the 2 houses, as well as about a 10-15 min difference in commute to work for Ed. So the decision seemed easy, go for the less expensive home further away. But then we looked at the school rankings again in both cities...and of course that house location had much poorer school scores. So in the end the more expensive closer home with better schools would be the winner. Onto writing an offer. And heading back to WI to our kiddos.

Minnesota trip #1

Today I flew into Minnesota...to start the house hunt. Ed and I had dinner with Mitchell tonight to prepare for our busy day tomorrow.

Statistics to come!

chilly park visit

We are doing anything to get outside these days. Even if hats are required. Checking out the local park today.

neighborly fun

I guess the Badgers are playing...but we are busy with adult games of our own. So much fun with the neighbors tonight.
