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!

Outdoor fun with Cousin Brady!

We have to take advantage of nice days around this part of the country!! Grant loves to play baseball any chance he can get and mom really likes it when he is able to play outside rather than in the house where things can easily get broken! Brad is no help on this subject as all he wants to do is play baseball as well! Here are some shots of the boys having fun outside!
Dylan like to hang out his very own sunroof, well what he believes to be one. He thought he was pretty cool wheeling all around with this, even tipped it right off the deck and acted like nothing happened! All he said is Uh OH! The child really doesn't have any fear built into him at all!




Here is Dylan and Brady riding in their own little cars! Everytime one would get off, the other would get off and they would switch, not sure if they thought the other had a better ride or what! It was fun to watch them, they are only 2 weeks apart and boy can you tell!





Dylan absolutely loves to swing any chance he can get! It goes along with the no fear, he even jumps off the ones at the playground all the time with no warning!












Swing batter, batter swing! Grant's favorite thing to do is be outside playing baseball at all times. He has gotten so much practice as well indoors so he has gotten to become a good little hitter! Dad is hoping he will be a lefty still when he really playing, so far looks to bat and throw left, he may get his wish!

Fun shots!

Dylan decided to empty all the stuffed animals out of his bin and Grant decided it would be fun to sit in it after it was emptied. However, Dylan thought it was a great idea to start stacking all of the animals on top of Grant! I think Grant thought it was just as fun!

Here Grant is with only some of the animals in with him! Can't tell he enjoyed this at all!

Can you barely see his eyes! Here he is with all of them back in there with him! Crowded space I tell you!! Dylan wanted to join in but we decided against that one!

Easter Fun

Easter was so fun this year with the boys starting to like Holidays and understand what they are all about, well Grant anyway. It was a full day for all of us. We attended church with both our families and then went on to have dinner at Brad's family and the kids were able to find their eggs and baskets there. Around 4pm we left and headed to Sara's family's house for another dinner there and another easter hunt for the boys. Needless to say by the time we got home we all crashed hard!

Here is Grant home before heading to church with his Easter basket that he found and with Dylan's that he also found for him!

Dylan is enjoying he and his brother's candy! It didn't stop all day either, I don't think he ate much else all day long!

Here the boys are posing for all of us! This was after church and Easter dinner at Brad's family. Grant loves to be a cheeseball when it comes to taking pictures!
