New Splash Park

Brock and I took the boys to a new splash park this week - Nicollet Commons Park.  It has natural stone, squirting water, several small waterfalls and was built specifically for kids to jump and play in (with a water play area for tots only one inch deep).  We all had a great time!

Visiting Grandma

Last weekend the boys & I went to Sandstone to hang out with grandma as she recovers from shoulder surgery.  Braxton & grandma had fun blowing bubbles on the deck...and the trip to the post office turned exciting when Braxton got to ring the old school bell.

 

Brothers

The brothers have been so cute playing together lately - especially with the "big kid legos" and the "baby legos" (duplos).  Here are a few photos - along with 2 funny videos.

2 Boys Driving

Today Brock took these awesome photos of the boys riding in the motorized Jeep (the coolest gift from our neighbor).  Don't miss the 2 videos!

The Boat

Brock has wanted a simple fishing boat for the longest time.  He took Braxton on his first boat ride yesterday. 

 

Airplanes and Cups

This week Denise & Brittney came to visit on they way back from Brit's week at Bible Camp.  We had a paper airplane contest and the champion was...Brittney!  Also...here is a video of Brittney performing cups.

Lyrics by Anna Kendrick:  

"I've got my ticket for the long way 'round.  Two bottle whiskey for the way.  And I sure would like some sweet company.  And I'm leaving tomorrow, what d'you say?  When I'm gone, when I'm gone.  You're gonna miss me when I'm gone.  You're gonna miss me by my hair, you're gonna miss me everywhere, oh.  You're gonna miss me when I'm gone.
