Gymnastics

Well, as you probably know, Sophia has been doing gymnastics for some time now.  She loves going to practice and really does a great job.  Here she practicing on the bars...

Since Gavin is potty-trained now for the most part, we said that he could do a session of gymnastics too.  And he just loves it!  Here is our little guy warming up on the tumble track....look how tiny he looks:)

Gav does a really good job too and is SOOO excited to go his one time per week:)

G on the monkey bars...

And now doing his thing on the rings.

A Visit To The Dentist

 Sophia & Gavin had a check-up at the dentist earlier this month.  Sophia has gone multiple times before but it was Gavin's first time (although he has watched S do it many times).  They both did great and have strong, healthy teeth.  I was very proud of them:)

The 1st picture is of Sophia excited after having her teeth cleaned....she just loves going to the dentist!

 Gav getting his teeth cleaned for the first time like a big boy.

 Little G getting his x-rays...so cute!

 The kids showing off their clean, white smiles....or, Sophia is at least....

Well, I guess that is a little better:)

Mother's Day

This picture isn't actually from Mother's Day but a couple days later.  Sophia and Gavin gave me lots of beautiful cards that they made for me and Patrick made a wonderful breakfast that morning along with a wonderful dinner that night.  

We didn't do much during the day because Sophia was fighting off a cold and we were getting our house ready to put it up for sale.  We potentially might build a house if we are able to sell our house....so, we will see what will happen.  Our future is up in the air at this point!

Outdoor Fun

 

 Now that it has gotten a bit warmer out, we have been able to do some fun outdoor activities!  We had our first family fire of the year and the kids have spent as much time as possible outside to make up for all the days that they were trapped indoors:)

  

The kids enjoying the warmth of the fire...

 

 

 Happy Sophia.

 

G and Millie.

Bring on the nice weather!!!!!

April Madness

 We had an off the charts snowy April this year!  I believe this was one of the last snowstorms of the season that happened around April 22nd or 23rd.  Notice we have our patio furniture out already....we kind of thought the snowstorms were over:(

No matter how sick of the snow we were, it is hard to deny how beautiful it can be.

As Cute As Can Be

 

Our 2 little cutie-pies looking all spiffed up:)

 

Mr. G

Miss Sophia

 

Best Friends:)

I love how G has his arm around his big sis....so sweet.

Posing for the camera!  Gav is not going to be so happy about this one day...but, it sure makes me chuckle now!

Silly Gav.

Sophia doing a "gymnastics" pose.

Gav showing off his big muscles!

He must have picked his own outfit that day....not sure who else would have let me wear those 2 articles of clothing together....

Boy are those some strong kids!

Family & Friends

 In April, Nana Sandy and Papa Jim came back from Florida!  We were so happy to have them back in MN and have been able to see them quite a bit:)

 Uncle Lane came to visit us one evening and play with the kiddos...

 the kids always like to be goofy with their uncle:)

 Also, our great friends, Cory and Sarah Kudrna had their first baby, little Maeve.  We have seen her a couple different times now and the kids just love to hold her....they are so proud:)

We were so lucky in April to see lots of family and friends!
