Valentine Hills Roadrunner Fun Run

Yesterday morning we participated in the first annual Roadrunner Fun Run at Colin's elementary school. I started the morning running in the 5K with my good friends, Amber and Sarah. It was a bit humid but we had a great run going through the neighborhoods of Arden Hills. Next off was Colin in the kids 1 mile. He rocked it coming in only a few seconds behind his soccer buddy. The kids did 3 laps and you could tell they were a bit excited as they all started the run off at a full out sprint. Colin kept pace as the leader and had a great stride and stellar form finishing with a time of 6:42! The event ended with a 2 mile Family run. Adam loved that he got to ride his tricycle. Justin was the impressive one this time running for most of the 2 miles and looking cool and comfortable the entire time. We all had a lot of fun and hope they continue it in the upcoming years.

Grandma Ruby's 90th Birthday Party

Last weekend we were back in North Dakota to celebrate Grandma Ruby's 90th birthday! She is doing great and is loved by so many people! Happy 90th, Grandma Ruby!

Children's Museum

This past Wednesday we had a play date with Justin's best friend, Nolan, at the Children's Museum. Dinosaurs is the current theme room going on and it was super cool. Volcanos, bone digging, and lots of dinosaur replicas filled the room. We love having Wednesdays off from work and daycare! :)

Mother's Day!

Happy Mothers Day! I am so blessed to have such awesome boys! I LOVE being their Mommy!

Grandma Ruby is celebrating her 90th birthday this weekend so we are headed back to North Dakota for the big celebration with family. It is going to be so much fun, but I honestly thought Mothers Day this year would be celebrated with the extended family as it fell on the party day. Well,....my hubby and boys thought it would be much better for me to have my own celebration with just them just a few days early. Jason surprised me with an amazing supper of ribeye steak, salad, focaccia bread, chicken/craisen salad, and espresso chocolate cake! It was so so YUMMY! I am so spoiled to have such an awesome husband and loving boys. The boys made me so many adorable gifts with my favorite being the homemade necklaces which I will proudly wear this entire weekend. :)

Easter!

Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! We had a fabulous Easter with gorgeous weather, yummy food, and fun with family. The Easter season started with some egg decorating. It was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and glitter theme for the eggs this year. Easter morning the boys awoke to find their baskets and immediately began devouring the candy. Then it was off to find more candy in eggs hidden in the basement. After church we hosted the Easter meal. The electricity went out but thankfully came back on after an hour and enough time to cook the ham.:)It was a gorgeous day of sun and 70 degree temps. We had another egg hunt and stayed outdoors soaking up the sun. The kids got a bit muddy, but it felt great to be outside. We also got to celebrate Adam and Luke's birthdays. Adam got lots of his favorite Mickey theme favorites. Happy Easter everyone!

Our baby is 3!

Adam turned 3 this past Friday! Happy birthday to our brave, adorable, athletic, sweet, silly, strong-willed, littlest brother! The birthday boy picked out some yummy donuts to start his day. After a fun filled with friends at daycare we came home for a McDonalds supper. The night finished with cake and presents. We love you to the moon and back, Adam!
