One more picture to add

I blocked out her last name for privacy reasons on the internet. If anyone wants this picture in it's original form, ask, and I will e-mail it to you. Goodnight!

Pictures of Alaina

Alaina cooperated and let me take some pictures of her today. Here is what we did.







I love this effect!
And a couple of pictures of Leo playing. He took off his shoes so that he had something to haul in his truck.



Hopefully I will have some pictures of Leo soon!

Football and Cupcake Pictures

Our neighbor, Ashley, had leftover cupcakes from her son's birthday and sent them over to our house for the kids to eat. Unfortunately, it seems like most of the cupcakes got on the kids rather than in the kids...


(aren't Alaina's eyes stunning in this picture!)

Last night we brought the kids outside to play, but Alaina wanted to paint instead. (Go Bagers!)



Today Alaina picked out her own outfit. I have to say, I love the jersey, but I'm not sure how well it goes with the Vikings pants and ballet slippers...

The kids ran around during the game....



I think Leo won.






Alaina started making faces for the camera.








Leo found the cookies.

The kids watching TV, and Bandit watching their food.

Goofballs!



**Oh, and even though the kids are wearing Packer Jerseys, I don't think Dave can complain because Leo is wearing a Favre jersey and he plays for the Vikings, and Alaina is wearing a Donald Driver jersey and he plays on Dave's fantasy football team. So this is as good as Vikings jerseys, right??

I have pictures again!

So, I know it has been a while since I last posted. My big reason was that I lost my camera battery charger. I found it today so I started snapping pictures again. Here is a picture of Zach and Alaina:

And here is a great one of cousin Kylee! (gotta love the outfit!)

Leo:

Alaina:


Hopefully I'll have more pictures over the next couple of days!

Happy Birthday Dave!

It's Dave's birthday today, and it was quite a day...We had to take Leo to urgent care because he fell and got a huge gash on the back of his head and has a minor concussion. He is doing well now though, so that is good. I have been making bread from scratch for quite a while now. Here are pictures of the kids helping:



There is no egg in my recipe, so I let them eat some of it when they cook with me.

We ran through the sprinkler a few days ago. Alaina loved it. Leo wasn't too fond of it.


And she was cold after...

Dave has been practicing shooting his bow lately.

Not too bad!
Alaina found a frog and wanted to play with it for a while before we let him go. It was raining outside, so I was a cool Mom and let the kids play with the frog in the house for a while.








Here are the kids watching him hop away when we let him go.

After Leo's nap, he came in by the computer while I was checking e-mail and fell asleep next to me :)

Today I tried to get the kids to pose for pictures for me. It wasn't exactly what I wanted, but it was cute none-the-less.

Then Alaina found a grasshopper.


Alaina and Zack hiding out in the woods.



Zach tried to teach Alaina how to ride his 2-wheeler.



while Leo fixed Alaina's bike.

Leo borrowed the neighbor's 4-wheeler and did awesome!

Here is a video of him riding:
