Target Field!

Ahhh, one of best days...Outdoor baseball! Finally! We were lucky enough to attend the 2nd game at Target Field. The boys were soooo excited to go! What a stadium! Perfect day in early April, 70 plus degrees!
Entering the field at of course, Gate 34! boys have their Twins backpacks on and ready to go!

Household name at our house! JUSTIN!!


We were walking around the concourse and happen to see the FSN crew doing their show. Grant recognized them right away. Anthony and Coomer! They were having a good time!


What a great looking field! We were 3 rows from the top but it didn't matter, there isn't a bad seat in that stadium!




Boys in their seats and ready to go!




This is pretty much how the boys watched the entire game...through binocs! We even had to buy another set so they each had their own! Not sure why they felt the need to have them the entire game, but it worked!



AHHH the PLAZA! Here is KIRBY! What a great player!~





I love this picture, shows just how big that Gold Glove really is! The boys look like ants!




After game WIN! What a great game it was!



We are so looking forward to our next game and the next.... Good thing we don't live closer as I think most of our money would be going into that Stadium! GO TWINS!

Easter...finally

Okay, so I know I am way behind but I will try and catch up a bit!

All the grandkids with Grandma and Grandpa Anderson!

The boys outside for the big Egg hunt! Love when we have great weather for this so they can be outside running around!


Grant finding some more eggs!


Family picture on Easter! Of course can't get Dylan to look directly at the camera! Oh well, it was a good attempt!



Our church held an Easter Egg hunt and Easter themed party. The kids had so much fun making crafts and finding more eggs of course! They were showing each other all the candy they got!


Here are a few of their favorite friends and cousin of course! Jada, Ellie, Brady, boys, Kai, & Bria. Ella was still finding more eggs!


now it's time to eat!

We had a great Easter as we do every year! The older the kids get, the way more fun it is to be parents to watch them enjoy each Holiday!

MOVE DAY

Well being I am as far behind in blogging as I am, I will just update with recent stuff. We are 2 days away from moving! We are very excited, but at the same time sad to say goodbye. This home has been good to us in the last 6 years we have lived there! The boys are excited for their new home as it gives them much more space to run around! Last night was our last night of sleeping there and today we will be packing up the rest of our things into a truck and moving in with the In-Laws for a few nights. We have a lot of work ahead of us with this new house, but in the end, will be our home. And I plan on dying in this one! Moving, is so overrated! It's a good way to clean up things and go through things, but not worth the packing up and lifting things no one should be lifting! So farewell to our humble abode at 803 Woodbridge Cirlce and hello to moving across town! Let the memories stay forever and may the new ones be even better!

Ice Fishing!

While momma was away, the boys will play! When I was in Las Vegas with my girls for our annual trip, brad took the boys out to my folks' pond for ice fishing! Poppa loves to take the boys to this event every year and Brad was able to join in the fun this year!

Grant concentrates really hard as you can tell by the tounge hanging out of his mouth!


Poppa and Dylan with their fishin rods! Patiently waiting for the fish to start biting! It ended up being a pretty nice day out as well!



Grant still waiting for the fish!

I just love this picture! Dylan is such an old man already at such a young age and he acts like he's in his 50's most days!


Where did everyone go? Dylan is left alone, which could be a bad thing somedays! haha! They enjoyed every minute of hanging out with just guys and doing what men love best, fish!



Sledding Party!

Each month at church we conduct an activity for the 3-5 year old kids. The month of February was our sledding party! Thank goodness the weather cooperated and we were able to get outdoors and have some fun. The last couple of years we have had to postpone our party due to it being so darn cold outside!!!

We started off by making snow angels with the kids and then spraying them with blue colored water so you were able to see them while driving by! They turned out pretty well!

The boys just getting done with run#1 down the hill!


Stacey the organizer and great friend and her daughter Bria were first to try out the hill! Glad it was them and not me!


Grant thought he would go down on his butt just as fast as the sleds in between his runs on the sled! I couldn't get him to sit up there and just wait! Oh well, he is a boy!

Top of hill helping kids get on their sleds for their runs down the hill!




Pastor Kathy was helping the kids go down a smaller hill on their butts outside of church to kill time before we were done with all of the kids' snow angels!


We have so much fun with these activities each month and the boys enjoy their time with the other kids and making projects or just having fun! This month (April) skating! Can't wait!

Valentines Day Treats!

Grandma Jane wanted to surprise us parents this year with a special treat from the kiddos! The boys actually kept the secret from us for almost 1 whole week! I couldn't believe it! They made it longer than a day! Well here is their masterpiece! They made a tier of cupcakes for us and Brad's Sister and husband. The boys were such great help and decorated all of them themselves! Grandma Jane said she had sprinkles on the floor for at least a week!

The boys getting ready to dig in themselves!


Blowing out the candles before sitting down to eat our wonderful treats! Thanks grandma jane for such a yummy surprise!! maybe they will continue this tradition!

Thanks Marie!

Well again it's been a while for me, but I am starting to catch up with my own blog and others! I have to say thank you to Marie for giving me a task to write about! So here it goes:
7 interesting things about me:

1. I never enjoyed reading until about age 23. not sure what changed at that stage in my life, but before then, you couldn't pay me to read a book. Now, I have stacks of them all over my house! I love reading and wish I started much younger.

2. I love racing, speeding all things fast. I go to the NASCAR race every year in Las Vegas and in the summer hit up a bunch of local race tracks here as well. I am hoping to one day be able to get into a race car and tear it up a bit! Something about going that fast around a track and the freedom that gives you is exhilirating to me!

3. Total tomboy! Thank goodness I have boys! I always have been and always will be. I can finally say I wear dresses though now as growing up and even into high school I never wore one! sorry mom!!!

4. I don't like sweets at all. Once in a blue moon I may grab a M&M but rarely finish more than 3 of them. Now salt on the other hand, it's just awful! I can eat a bag of tortialla chips and salsa in one sitting.!

5. I have an obsession with Ranch Dressing. I have it on everything I eat and I mean everything!

6. I have only broken 1 finger and only had 10 stitches on my hand my entire lifetime thus far. I consider myself very lucky! Now with having boys as children, pretty sure that will change!

7. I love to travel!!! I hope that we get to travel until the day we can't move! I would rather live in an apartment the rest of my life than give up traveling! It's like freedom from everything for that short time you are away from home. Whether I am with my hubby and kids or with my cousins or my friends, every time I go I feel refreshed when I come home! I hope everyone has the opportunity to do that at least once in a while!

So here goes: you are it! If you read my blog, it's your turn!!! List 7 interesting or fun facts about yourself!!! Have fun with it!!!!
