Waterpark of America

We took Brock and Rayna to the Waterpark of America to celebrate Josh's birthday. They both had a great time. Rayna's poor "outie" belly button got so red from her dragging it along the bottom of the pool. She needs a one piece next time! We were there for 3 hours and the kids slept great that night.

Daddy night at preschool

Brock has been going to preschool for a few weeks now and last week was Daddy night. Josh got to go see Brock's school and have fun for a little while. Nana and Grandpapa came too.

Brock got to shave Daddy's face.

They played with trucks and painted. Everyone had a great time.

We started to thaw out last week and Brock and Rayna had fun splashing in the slush.

A paper dragon Brock made at school.

Brock drew a picture of me. How sweet...one eye and scraggly hair!

Rayna decided to sit in her baby doll's stroller and then proceeded to buckle herself in. She then tried to get up and eventually fell forward.

Going for a ride. It's great how most of Brock's old toys are favorites of Rayna's.

Rayna saying good morning to Daddy...what crazy hair that girl has!
Cousin Oliver turned one last week and had his party at Edinbourgh Park.

Josh and I took Brock skiing at Buck Hill on Thursday. It was about 30 degrees and

the snow as hard and fast!

Just got ready to head out to the bunny hill

Busy end to February

After being stuck in the house all week with cold weather, we took the kids to the Eden Prairie mall to play at the indoor play area. We got some ice cream to end the night. Brock got his very own mini blizzard.
I worked last Monday night and Josh brought the kids to have dinner with me. Both of them ate really well and Brock picked out a slice of chocolate cake for dessert. They both really enjoyed it, as you can see from Rayna's face!

Rayna has been using spoons and forks for several months now. She's getting really good at eating cereal...and proud of herself too!
