This weekend I took the boys to my Aunt Madalyn's house for a visit. It's been WAY too long since I saw her and her family. We had a great time! Friday night we ordered pizza and caught up. On Saturday, her kids watched Curtis and Johnny. Madalyn and I went out to breakfast and went shopping. The night ended with a great steak dinner, and the Badger game. My cousin Michael was in the third row and was on TV going crazy like fifteen times!

Today was the BIG day! We went to the Gymnastics's Club in town and had Curtis' 5th Birthday Party. He was SO excited all day long for it to start. He LOVED it, and so did all the kids! It was such a nice place to have the party, and very easy for us! Here are some pics and videos from the day! Enjoy!

"Human Popcorn"


"What's the Time Mr. Parrot?"

Friday Night

The three boys and Erik playing "Crack the Whip" on the scooters!

The park is made to look like it's outdoors, but it's indoors.

Adventure land...we didn't spend much time here. Someone puked and pooped in the slide, and I limited my kids to the gym!

Johnny LOVED playing basketball!

Curtis "ALWAYS WANTED a wheel chair!"

We went up to Edina with some friends and their kids. We first went to dinner with five kids, which was REALLY relaxing and enjoyable....NOT! Then it was off to Edinburgh Park for a night of fun! The kids LOVED running around for a few hours. This is when the adults really got to relax, and have a real conversation! We did lose Johnny for a while, but some nice lady kindly brought him back to us, as I was in a panic looking for him!

Boys, Boys, Boys...

Some lady at Target kept calling Andrew "Bubba" the other day, and it's kinda sticking! Here he is reacting to the new nickname! His godfather Callan will have to be "Big Bubba" and maybe Andrew will be "Lil' Bubba!"

A cute gift from the Gagnon Family! Look how big he's getting!

It's Catholic Schools Week (my favorite from when I was younger) and Curtis is posing for his "I.D." picture. Tomorrow is dress like a teacher day! He can hardly wait!What does Johnny do when Curtis is at school? Besides talk my ear off, he steals his toys! Here is Johnny is singing along to the High School Musical microphone that Curtis got for his birthday. If you've ever heard Johnny's voice, low and scratchy, you know how beautiful his singing is!

The longer the winter goes, the more I feel consumed by BOYS! I forgot how LONG winter is, since we've missed two of them in the past four years! Anyways, things here are going better. Curtis got the flu a week and a half ago. So we had to reschedule his b-day party with his friends. Then, on Friday night, I got hit... hard! It's the first time we've had the stomach flu since I've had kids. It was a doozy! Johnny, Erik, and Andrew have steered clear so far. After disinfecting my house like three times, I hope I killed all the germs! I'll post pics from Curtis' big party this weekend. He is SO, SO excited! Who am I kidding, SO AM I!
