Chicago

Eric's cousin is graduating from High School this weekend, so we drove down to Chicago for the party. We stayed at a hotel and the boys had a blast swimming in the pool!
Our little fish! They love the water! Evan is going to start swimming lessons again in June and he is really excited. Can't wait to see him swimming on his own.

Evan kept jumping into the water and I'd catch him. He would say "again..again...again"!

Alex does a Humpty Dumpty like he does at swimming lessons. He leans forward and falls into the water.

My Boys!

Boys enjoy a ride on the luggage cart! This is probably not permitted, but they don't say anything.

Kawa Japanese Restaurant for dinner!

Our son didn't make that big mess did he(so embarrassing :-0)? Can't wait until he is out of this stage!

Congratulations Megan!

They have fun parks in Chicago!

Evan climbs a mountain!

Happy Mother's Day!

Give a 2 1/2 year old a hose and he will be entertained for an hour!

Alex helping us plant flowers and pick weeds and trim shrubs from his pack n play..oh and with a mouth full of crackers! Guess how many crackers I have in my mouth? and a wha wha in one hand and a cracker in the other.

Lilac's trimmed! Notice Ritz cracker in Alex's hand.

TAH DAH! Flower's in pots. The 4th anniversary gift is flowers, so Eric got me flowers for my pots. Pretty soon it will be warm and the flowers will grow and become beautiful! Evan helped me by pushing dirt around in the pots with his gubs (gloves) on like Mommy.
Afternoon...boys napping. I read the paper and try to stay warm in the sun! Eddie too.
We took the boys to a new park and I took Alex down the slide. My butt fit!

Our baby boy is very close to walking!

After the park we went to the Minnetonka Drive In and then went for a walk!

Happy 4th Anniversary!

Eric and I were married 4 years ago today! The last 4 years have gone by so fast. We started as just a couple and now we have two busy boys. This summer Evan will move to preschool and Alex will move to the toddler room at daycare. Before we know it they will be graduating from high school! We need to remember to slow down and enjoy each day, so the time doesn't fly by so fast:-) Love you Baby!

2 1/2 year old ironing. Priceless!

Being able to watch a Twins game from a suite...Priceless!

Last week Alex got his first pair of Stride Rite's. He is really close to walking on his own!

My sweet boys!

Evan wanted to iron his pajamas. Can you do some of my ironing Evan?

Alex takes the dish towel off the oven door and puts it over his head. OH FUN! This reminds me of the scarf my Ukrainian great-grandmother would wear on her head:-)

We have a new cupboard dweller! Now they both climb into the cupboard. They have to throw out all the toys first!

We were on the boat last night and the boys had a late nap so I took Evan to the park after dinner. An older girl was there and he saw her swing on the bar and then go down the slide, so he had to try it out for himself.

WHEEEE!

I climb up the big kid stairs!

Now that Alex can stand up they are pushing each other to look out the back door on the boat.

Pushing! Alex does not back down to Evan. Soon he will be the same size and then Evan will be in trouble.
