Sunday Fun!

Sunday, February 20th...

Morgan started crawling on Valentine's Day and has it mastered! She loves being on the move and keeps us on our toes. I even find Chloe saying, "No, no, Moe-Moe" when she gets into something she shouldn't. Too cute!


On the move...


These 2 monkeys love posing for the camera...


3 peas in a pod...

Chloe loves playing Horsie. She'll climb on anyone if you're on your belly on the floor and say "Horsie!"

Morgan gets "ridden" quite a bit but the funny part is that she doesn't seem to mind. Chloe is a pound or two lighter than Moe so it's not like she's crushing her. I remind Chloe that she'll be getting payback soon. She just giggles. =)

Camper

We are officially "campers". We've been searching online and going to camper shows a lot lately. We finally found one that was in our price range and had the features we wanted. It's a 2006 Wildwood Travel Trailer. Can't wait til it's nice enough to use it! We already have one trip planned this summer and hopefully we'll be able to enjoy a few more. Jared can't wait until we get it home so he can "camp" in the backyard. We're waiting for dry roads before we bring it home but the weather has not been cooperating.


Here are the pictures they had posted on their website...

Another Lost Tooth!

Wednesday, February 9th...

Jared's second loose tooth fell out while he was eating a Fruit Roll-Up. We pulled into the parking lot at swimming lessons and we were chatting about what would happen if it fell out in the pool. Then he hopped out of the van and squealed, "My tooth fell out!" We finally had a tooth to put under his pillow since the first one disappeared (I still think he swallowed it).

This is how he was standing there when I looked...

Swimming Lessons - Preschool 3

Wednesday, February 2nd...

Jared has become quite the swimmer! He LOVES it. He passed the class with flying colors. It's amazing how much he has improved in just one year. He can actually swim!
Working on jumping in the deep water... not a problem at all!

Red Barn

February 4th-6th...


I went on a scrapbooking retreat weekend with 9 great ladies! We went to Red Barn Retreats near Garden City (south of Mankato). It was nice to be close to home. We really like the place and plan to go back again... maybe make it our annual spot. It's a big barn that they completely remodelled. Very neat!
Here's their website... RedBarnRetreats.com

The fun part is that there are 10 of us... 4 are pregnant... with 6 babies!
(And NO, I'm not one of them!!!)
And of course, these 3 beauties had to get silly...
I was the last one there so I snapped a few pics of the place right before I left...


Fun, fun, fun weekend!!!

Mass

Thursday, February 10th...


Jared's Kindergarten class got to participate in the weekly school Mass at church. Each student was paired up with an older student or sibling to help them. Jared was super excited. Grandma Deb and I took a little time off of work to go. He had a petition to read... well, he got to say the "We pary to the Lord" part. It was so adorable to listen to them speak in that big church. =) I didn't have my camera with so I had to take a few pics with my cell phone camera afterwards.
