1st Twins Game of the year!

The boys were just enamored the entire game! They were so good and sat well during the game! Grant doesn't like cotton candy at all as you can see! He was almost ready to lick it clean! I don't think he shared too much with anyone else! The boys shared a seat for parts of the game and sat well together without fighting! Grant can't wait to go back and see Justin play again! He was so excited to point him out and watch him play!! Might be a future Twin player!

Fun in the backyard!

We bought the boys a playhouse for their birthdays this year and set it up a little early so they can enjoy it before summer is over! They can play for hours which is great for us, we can do yardwork while they play! Here is Grant being silly like usual and Dylan just loves to sit and ring the doorbell the whole time!

We also bought a bigger pool! The small one we once had was all of a sudden not large enough for both of them to play in at the same time, so we bought a little bit bigger one! Grant thinks we need to have those huge above ground ones, I told him maybe when they are a little older we will think about it! Here cousin Brady came over to play with the boys. THey like to put their chairs in the pool and relax a bit as well! They also have a Cars water mat they run on and it shoots water up, they go from that and then run and jump into the pool!

July 4th Celebration!

This year we stayed in town and took the boys over to MSUM's parade and games! The boys weren't the biggest fans of the parade, at least not the loud noises from all the trucks and fire engines but still enjoyed seeing everything else! Some friends of ours joined us, the Retzers, as well as Grandma and Grandpa Anderson. On the left is the boys with Ellie and Abbie Retzer. Aren't they just dolls!

After the parade we headed to the games! Both boys couldn't wait. Grant I think could have played games until it was dark out! But we did stay for a couple hours.

The boys got their face painted as well! Of course it was baseballs and not fireworks!

They were both out by the time the actual fireworks started at 10:30 but some of our neighbors were shooting them off and Dylan liked to watch them but didn't like how loud they were! Maybe next year they will enjoy that more!

Redhawks game turned bad!

We took Brad to a Redhawks game on 6/14 for Father's Day and his parents joined us. The game was to start at 6pm, didn't get started until 7:05!! Dylan I think had more fun eating and watching all the people around him then he did actually watching the game! He is my people watcher and everytime Hawkeye came around, he just glared at him, not a fan that's for sure!!!

Then you have Grant, who absolutely loves the sport of baseball, much to his Dad's liking! He enjoyed every minute of the game, that we got to see anyway! Such a ham ball he is!!

Then around 7:50 they announced that we all had to leave the field area due to a tornado warning that was just issued until 8:20. We could either leave on our own choosing or go underneath the stands. We chose to go under the stands to be safe with the kids. They surprisingly did very well! About 8:30 were able to go back up and we watched it poor under the overhang and took some pretty awesome pictures! We ended up not getting to see the end of the game however as they didn't get it restarted until 10:15! So we will have to shoot for another game soon that we can get in more than 2 innings!

Some Brotherly Love!

These are some rare moments we somehow caught on camera. They are boys, so they tend to get into disagreements and fight over their toys quite often. But then there are these moments that I like to capture just so I can show them one day that they really did get along!!! Grant is usually my more lovable, huggable one and Dylan, well you take what you can get from him when he decides to give it to you!

As you can see by this picture, Grant is way more interested in loving his brother than Dylan is, but he obliged without a fight!



This of course is my favorite!

Have to treasure these, cause they won't last forever!!!

Lake Fun!

Sara's folks have a year round seasonal lot on Big Pine Lake in Perham. We enjoy going down there almost every weekend during the summer months as do the boys. They have a pool as well as the lake so the kids can spend some time in there playing. Some of Sara's family also have spots on the lake so we get to together with them all the time. Sara's aunt bought this wheelbarrel for Dylan to play with and he sure enjoyed carrying his turtle around all weekend!






It was obviously a little cool this weekend, but he enjoyed it anyway as you can see. I think he pushed this turtle around for hours!

This is Uncle John, he loves to take the boys around for rides on the golf carts or take them to play ping pong, volleyball or throwing them into the pool! He's like a big kid himself and the boys just love him for that!

Prom DGF!

Here is our daycare's daughter Emily and both of our boys' girlfriend in their terms. She is a senior at DGF and absolutely adores our kids.











Emily and her date Brandon with Dylan and Nora, another daycare kid and Dylan's other Girlfrien. Dylan and Nora give each other a good morning kiss almost every day!! That could be trouble!








Here is Emily with Dylan and Nora again, Grant was not impressed with taking anymore pictures at this point! Emily was very "beautiful" in Grant's terms and in ours! She is the best!
