Big Brother Sam Reading To Sylbie About Sharks

2008-09-10T18:06:00.001-07:00

We had Sam this summer and we worked tons on his reading. He came to us hating to read. This photo was taken towards the end of the summer where I found him reading to Sylbie ALL on his own. It made me emotional and I just had to take a picture. We took him to the library often and he went to a tutor every week and through that we realized he enjoys reading informational books. I mean, what better book could he want to read...how awesome!! Way to go Sam!!

The Minnesota State Fair

2008-09-10T17:18:00.002-07:00

This was my first time at the MN State Fair!! The family had a blast! It was insane how many people were there. We ate like pigs, I think I gained 20 pounds and I could have kept eating. We ate roasted corn, hot dogs, french fries and fried oysters!! We have a ride addict in the family already, Sylbie could not get enough of the rides. Looks like I'll have a roller coaster buddy someday!! Yeah!! The craziest thing for me is that EVERYTHING was on a stick. They even had deep fried candy bars, 'What The Heck'!! I know we will make this a family tradition, I mean you have to for the roasted corn, but never again on a Saturday!

This year Sam played baseball with the Parks & Recreations Center. He LOVED it and Sylbie & Sawyer loved watching their big brother play ball. Sylbie HAD to get a purple baseball glove and couldn't quite understand why she could not play!!

Sylbie's 2nd Birthday Photos

2008-04-14T17:41:00.000-07:00

Sylbie's new hobby is wearing mommy and daddy's socks and taking her pants off. So you will notice her wearing mommy's socks. The beautiful white dress is from my Aunt Carol. Sylbie loved it!! She did not want to take it off. She twirled around like she was a princess. The cake was my first from scratch cake. White cake with blackberry filling and homeade icing. The plan was a lemon cake, but it didn't pan out. Maybe next year!! Happy Birthday Biddy!!!!

Another Winter Storm....

2008-04-06T14:17:00.001-07:00

We took the kids for a walk in the woods behind our house. Daddy rigged Sawyer's car seat on the sled. Sawyer fell asleep within 10 minutes. By the end Daddy was pulling Sawyer and Sam instead of Sawyer and Sylbie. Needless to say Daddy's hiney was kicked!

Sylbie & Her Buddy Rusty.

2008-04-06T14:09:00.001-07:00

Here is Sylbie and her backpack buddy Rusty. We like to use Rusty when we are in places where there are crowds and I also like it when I take the kids for a walk. I push Sawyer in the stroller and Sylbie can walk without getting too far ahead. It is amzaing the variety of comments we get. From "Wow, what a handy helper, I wish they had those when my kids where little!" to "I can't believe you have your child leashed like an animal." She likes Rusty and she is safe with it on. That is all that matters to me.

Sam took 1st place at the race. He was really happy! I don't know who was happier Sam or Daddy! :) In the picture of the cars Sam's is in the top row 2nd car. There are several heats, so these are all the cars that took first. It is such an awesome experience to be there.

Family Outing At Como Zoo In MN.

2008-03-10T14:04:00.000-07:00

Mommy & Daddy took the kids to Como Zoo a few weeks back. There were not many animals out, but they did have a conservatory that made it feel like spring. There is a picture of a tiger, reindeer and sloth. The kids favorite was the gorilla's and the polar bear. The polar bear would swim in the water that you could watch from inside. Sylbie kept thinking he was going to come right through the glass.

Do You Like Birds? We Do!

2007-12-10T12:03:00.001-08:00

We put up feeders a few weeks ago and been honored with the presence of a Woodpecker and 3 Blue Jays. A lot of other birds too. It is really awesome to watch. Every morning Sylbie wakes up she goes to the kitchen patio and says 'Where are the birds?' Then when the birds come she says 'Oh, birds is cold outside."

Well, it is 10:00 at night. The house is quiet and I thought I would enjoy a moment of me time. You would think if I were smarter, I would be catching up on some zzzz's rather than sipping on a nice glass of Cabernet and updating my blog!!
