Long Week...

The boys have had colds for just over a week now. Between their colds and the unbelievable, extreme cold temperatures Minnesota has been experiencing, it was a long week.

We managed to escape for a few hours this week--I needed out! But mostly, we just hung around the house. Wiping boogers and drinking juice. It was a long week.

Bright eyed Cashie.

One night for dinner, we made homemade pizza. Dane thought it was pretty fun. He thought the pepperoni was pretty good, too.

Cash has been experiencing a few new things. He's been trying hard to crawl and can roll and scoot all over the place. Also, we brought him in and he has been diagnosed with acid reflux. Poor boy. He's started medication and I hope will feel better soon.
And...Cash is now 5 months old and growing fast.

Dane decided he wanted to wear his underwears (his word, not mine) one day. He dressed himself in this pair, put on his Mike Wozawski socks and matched a pair of crocs to the undies. Wonder where he got his matching skills from. Anyways...super cute and funny, but not so much so when he was standing on his toy box and shouted "I go pee-pee Mommy." Yeah, then peed all over. At least the toy box was shut-thank goodness! But that was the end of the 'underwears' for that day.

Beautiful Boys

My boys...just hanging out.

They both woke up with colds on Wednesday, so we spent today and will spend tomorrow, just hanging out. They are so sweet.

Gymnastics!

Ross has been taking Dane to gymnastics each week at "The Little Gym" in Champlin. To say he loves it, is an understatement. He runs in and greets the instructors with such enthusiasm and excitement. This week, I tagged along to snap a few pictures of the fun and awards ceremony.

Just a few action shots--Dane didn't stop moving after we walked in the door!

The rings were new this week and Dane had a great time hanging from them. Most people know, he loves to hang on everything.

Dane was really excited to show me his walking across the beam with no help from Dad.
He's pretty awesome!

And here is our gold medalist! It was so cute...they had a great set-up with music and medals! Dane's name was called and he walked up, received his medal and gave a high-five! He was very happy to hear his name and the clapping that went along with it.

Best buds!

Here is the whole gang with their medals! They were all so cute!

SNOW Much Fun!!

Due to the very pleasant temps Sunday afternoon, Ross took Dane to the park to play. Dane has been asking on a daily basis to go to the park. We keep telling him when all the snow is gone, we will go. Today, when Ross asked him if he wanted to go to the park, Dane said, "we can't go Daddy. There's a lot of snow." He did not understand, but he also didn't fight it.

According to Ross, they had a wonderful time at the park. The snow was pretty deep, making it hard for Dane to walk through, but he had a smile on his face the whole time!!


The following pictures were taken by Dane. He has figured out how to turn on the camera and which button to push to take a picture. He does pretty good, too.

Getting Daddy Ready for Hockey!

Sunday evenings this winter, Ross will be playing hockey. Hockey just happens to be Dane's latest obsession. Oh...and his Mike Wozawski socks. He "plays" just about everyday downstairs, with his own little stick and his balls. It's the cutest thing.

On this particular Sunday, Ross was packing up his gear and Dane insisted that he needed to try on a few things. I love how into trying new things he is these days. It's super fun!

The Dane-Bug

Just a couple of cute pictures of Dane being Dane. Funniest kid I've ever met!

Four Months Old

Cash is now 4 months old-almost 4 1/2 as I am posting this late. He is getting big fast. Each day he is doing more and making me laugh even more.

As you can see by the pictures, he has found his toes. Cash has been rolling over for about a month already and scoots himself all over. He is so interested in his brother and stares with big smiles and wide eyes. It's the cutest thing. For the most part, Cash is a really happy little guy, but wants to be a part of what everyone is doing. He gets unhappy when he can't see people. He loves to stand, loves tubby time, loves his bottle and cereal, loves his mommy, daddy and brother and just loves to smile.

He is weighing in at 14 lbs. 5 oz. I can't remember how tall he is right now, but he's in the 38 percentile for height and weight. Head too. Pretty proportional guy.

I am recanting a previous post when I was wishing him bigger. He's getting there too fast...

Happy New Year!

We spent New Year's Day hanging out with my brother, sister-in-law, nephews, niece and parents. We tried to bowl, but only managed one game, as the kids were too excited to run and play. Oh, and Grandpa Jeff was trying to win them toys from the crane machine...

Hanging with Cooper-I love that. Does anyone remember the show "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper." Well, I do and I always like to say something to that effect when Cooper is around. 'Cause I'm super funny!

Dane laying on the chairs. He really wanted to bowl-he needed to bowl-but did this instead. Or ran around elsewhere. Kids.

The three amigos ready to eat!

The whole crew chowing down. Sundance makes a mean pizza.

Back at Grandma and Grandpa's for a little playtime. These three were so cute and played really well together!

This is Dane trying to blow bubbles on Ava's belly. I thought it was really funny at the time and now I'm thinking I can't believe the stuff he's probably going to be doing to other girls when he's a teenager. Oy vey!!

Cute.

Dane and Ava blowing bubbles in their cups. I think Ava must have taught this to Dane before. We were wondering how he knew to do that.
That's his new fun thing to do at the dinner table.

Cheers!


Happy New Year Everyone!! We hope it brings you health, happiness, peace and love!
