Happy Easter!

We enjoyed Easter morning at our house and had a great dinner at Bob and Diane's later in the afternoon. Paul loved looking for his Easter basket and was thrilled his huge train set moved downstairs into the new basement! He also enjoyed making "bunny" ears and wearing them most of the weekend!

There's my basket! Yea!

Visit from Grammy

My mom came for a visit a few weeks ago and we had a great time! We had a busy weekend playing at the park, coloring Easter eggs, and playing with a new addition to Paul's GeoTrax train set. I always enjoy our visits and I'm looking forward to the next one!

A little tardy in posting these pictures...

A few pictures...

We've had a busy start to 2010! Paul is in a new bedroom and we've been working on completely refinishing our basement...many pictures to come! Paul loves his new bedroom and we didn't have any troubles with the transition. I will post pics of his new room when we get new carpet which won't be until the basement is ready for carpet. Ryan, his Dad, and Uncle Tommy have been working SO hard on our basement and it's going to look great when it's completed!

We've been enjoying the new year but definitely waiting for warmer temperatures! Ryan has been very busy at the clinic and also drives to Detroit Lakes weekly. I ran a freezing cold 5k with my marathon friends and will start training soon for the Fargo Half Marathon. Paul is doing great and makes us laugh every day!

I LOVE my new ABC blanket from Grammy Sue! Thanks, Grammy Sue, for such a beautiful blanket!

Looking so grown-up...

What a fun LION hat from Lynne! I have fun wearing this!!

I'm ready to help in the basement!

Snow fun!

These pictures are actually from Christmas Day...time to keep up with this blog! It really was a beautiful day and the temperature was great. We made a snowman like everyone else on our block!

Christmas pictures

We had a great Christmas and enjoyed going to both houses and spending time with family! Paul loved all the presents, food, and excitement of Santa!

Happy New Year to everybody!

Birthday Fun!

We celebrated Paul's 3rd Birthday with a small party at Diane's...it was low-key but we really had a nice time! Paul waited very patiently to open his presents and to dive into his awesome train cake that Diane made. Can't believe my little guy has turned 3!!

Diane made this adorable train cake...it was a big hit!

Waiting patiently to grab a big bite...while wearing his new Davy Crockett coonskin cap from Grandpa Mike!

This dinosaur from Ann was a big hit...you really have to see this dinosaur in action to appreciate how impressive it is! "Monty" is an awesome gift!


Cool! A new pop-gun from Grandpa Mike to go with my new hat!

What a great birthday party! Thanks Grandma Diane for hosting such a fun evening! And thank you to Grandpa Mike/Ann and Great-Grandma Maxine and Great-Grandpa Rayno for the nice gifts and celebrating with me!
