Graduation!!

May 3rd, 2013
 
It was a wonderful Graduation Celebration with our families!!
We are so incredibly proud of Graham for all that he accomplished!
Congratulations, we knew you could do it!
 
 Sean and Graham at his White Coat Ceremony in Duluth
- October 2009
 
 Graduation Day with our family!!
 
It was held at the Hennepin Theatre and was beautiful!
 
My Daddy, M.D.
 
Whenever Daddy signs his name
he always writes M.D.
So people always know
that he belongs to me.
 
For M.D. means "My Daddy"
or something just the same,
And that is why he always puts
these letters in his name.
 
Some letters in his name are small
but these are not, you see,
He always makes them big like that
because he's proud of me.

 Our little Super Heros!!
Some how they are turning 3!!
Where does the time go!!
 
They have learned so much this past year...
1. Swimming with their life jackets on.
2. Potty Trained!! Woot! Woot!
3. No more nuks!! They did amazing!
4. Freedom of walking and holding hands vs. stroller...
hard on mommy, but oh do they love being big!
5. Climbing, climbing, and climbing...
we found them on top of their dresser, so now their room just has beds!
6. Booster seats at the table.
7. First movie theater experience :)
8. Love to play with each other and Sean.
9. School...ECFE for Multiples! So fun and I have met some great friends, too!
10. Helping me with jobs around the house; picking up toys, making beds, dusting :)
 
Isaac is our little dare devil and the one we are always checking up on!
He gives the best hugs, loves to play with my hair when he sits on my lap, sings the Vikings' song at the top of his lungs, has a short attention span, can pedal on his trike, runs super fast, and absolutely loves books!
 
Andrew loves to be outside and playing with trucks! He loves to be tickled, playing outside, have his back rubbed, wrestle with daddy, playing outside, putting puzzles together, singing the Vikings' song, playing outside, and loves books, too! He has a great imagination and is just a very sweet and loving little guy :)
 
We feel so blessed to have them in our lives and pray that they continue to grow stong and healthy, stay happy and full of energy, and smile and snuggle :) Love you so much Isaac and Andrew!! We are so proud of you!!

St. Patrick's Day and Hockey Tourney

 We love to celebrate St. Patrick's Day!!
It not only is a fun holiday, but it is Auntie ALLI's Birthday :)
 Auntie Amy ran in the Get Lucky Race again this year.
She stopped by our house on the way :)
I can't wait to do it with her again next year,
as I still can't get my heart rate up since my surgery.
 Sean and his VERY FIRST TROPHY!!
He is so pumped!! It has a very special place on his dresser :)
 What fun is St. Patty's Day without eating something green?!
 Green Jello...a favorite :)
 Sean's team at Dairy Queen following their last game.
Bittersweet, as the kids were awesome and so were their parents!
 Isaac cheering on Sean as he got his trophy!
 Sean in action...he is now officially a better skater then his dad and me :)
 It was fun to have Molly, Nick, and Rylan up to watch his final game.
 He can't wait to start spring league in 3 weeks!
Team Shot at the end.
Thanks Coaches!! You made this so much fun!
 
We are so thankful for our families and friends, new and old. Thanks for all your support :)

Fire Trucks and Birthdays :)

Sean's school had a carnival the day of my cousin Katie's wedding in January. So we quickly went and did a few activities, stopping by the raffles to see what we wanted to try for. The ONLY thing Sean wanted to try for was "lunch with a fireman..." So we bought ONE ticket. Well, I think I am going to start having him buy our lottery tickets, because he WON!! Not only did he take him to McDonalds, but he picked him up in his fire truck!! and took him to the fire station to show him around!! From the mouth of Sean, "This was the BEST day of my life!" Graham got to relive his youth and go along...Awesome Day!
 










 Now he only wants to play "fire fighter" at home with his brothers and friends :)
 
His birthday has been a lot of fun and has lasted way too long ;)
Since I had surgery right before his birthday, we put things off for awhile to make sure I would be up for party planning. So we have been celebrating this sweet boy for a few weeks! This past weekend, we had our family and close friends over to watch him play hockey and celebrate at our home. We all had a blast!

 (oops...fire truck picture :)

 Amy made the most amazingly disgusting snake cake ever!! Tasted good, but I am so glad it wasn't real! Yikes!!

Too sweet not to share...his Thank You to Fireman Joel...
