It's the end of March already? Wow - 3 months since my last post. I'm guessing that no one really missed me though so I'm not terribly worried about it or anything. But on the off chance that someone out there is just dying to know what we've been up to these past months I thought I'd better update y'all. ;-) So far 2010 hasn't been the best year ever but we've still managed to have a lot of fun.
We started out the year by cheering on our beloved Gopher FB team in their bid to beat the Iowa State Cyclones at the Insight Bowl. Needless to say we rang in the new year without a victory. We still had fun with H&E at Champps (I was secretly kinda happy that an Iowa team won.)
Troy celebrated his 39! birthday in February. We were really happy to have Wade and Tanya over to enjoy the festivities - and as you can see there was plenty of dessert to go around!
For Valentine's Day we took the boys to a MN Wild hockey game. What better way to celebrate a day of love then by watching grown men beat the crap out of each other?? It was their last game before the Olympic break and they beat the Vancouver Cancucks. We had a lot of fun watching the game but as you can see, the highlight for the boys were the big foam claws they suckered us into buying for them.
Troy took H&E on their first snow tubing adventure. Since they love to sled he thought this would be a perfect next step - he was totally right. They LOVED it!
Troy and I celebrated our 8th anniversary in February. Time really flies - I cannot believe it's been 8 years. I posted this picture on FB and wrote in the caption something about it being our 7th anniversary. I wish I could say it was a typo but really I've just lost track of time... oops!
We were lucky enough to have Heidi and the kids up to visit this winter! We spent some time at the MOA and everyone had a blast. Paige got to visit the American Girl store, the boys totally fell in love with LegoLand and then most of the kids went on rides at Nickelodeon Universe. Lots and lots of fun!! We also got to see Joe play BB. Such a fun weekend - we loved having you guys!!
Rachel, Bruce and Kalen also came up for a weekend but I have no pictures of that. We also had a lot of fun watching Joe play BB and just hanging out!
Troy and Henry loved watching the Olympics this year. Eli and I joined in once in a while but didn't get into as much as they did. We did all watch the US men's hockey team and were really rooting for a victory. Henry made this great sign for them.
For a little late winter trip this year we took the boys up to Duluth for a couple of days. They were really excited to try out skiing and we thought it would be a great time to get them started. As you can see from these pictures Henry was a great little student. No matter what he kept trying and did a really fantastic job! Eli, on the other hand, did not love it at all! He was probably more excited than Henry before we got there but the moment I put the ski boots on his feet he changed him mind. Big tears! But, he kept his boots on and stayed in ski school the entire time. He sat in the snow and pouted the entire time but he stayed. Maybe next year he'll like it more.
The hotel we stayed at in Duluth had this cool waterpark, which the boys absolutely loved. Beyond that though, the hotel was probably the worst we've ever stayed in. Janky!
I hope not to leave you hangin' for another 3 months. There's plenty going on so I'll try to keep up.
