Last night we went to the Mall of America for a special CARs event! It was a blast and it was so fun seeing Noah's excitement. He was in Cars heaven. Emme enjoyed herself too. Enjoy the pics.

What we have been up too.....

Christmas 2010...Emme was a little Doll.
The kids would not smile. This is the best shot out of 20. Sorry.

Playing with cousin Anna.

Cuddle time with Mommy. I love this little girl.

Emme loves to play with her baby. Papa Paul made her a beautiful cradle.

Star wars!

Noah had a buddy over and they were playing with Pete's ipod....Emme was trying to sneak a peak.

Putting Noah to work at a young age. Peter is determined to teach him about tools and fixing things.

All set to do some work around the house.

mmmm...chocolate pudding.

Flu bug #2

more cuddle time. Emme and Noah are great friends.

Packing......

and more packing......

and more packing.... we are finally moved out of our house and into my parents house. Still haven't found anything yet. Praying that the spring market brings a new batch of houses. But in the mean time, the kids have really enjoyed living with papa and grandma. And I am enjoying the extra hands/help.

Never Grow Up

Noah's 1st Christmas (2007). He was 3 months old. Such a little peanut. Its hard to think of him ever being this little.


Christmas 2008. Noah was a little over a year old and I was 3 months pregnant with Little Miss Emme. He didn't know what was going to happen to him in the next year. What a surprise!...He got a sister :)

Noah- Christmas 2009 (2 years old)

Christmas 2010 (3 years old) Wow has he grown. He is such a big boy now.

Emme's 1st Christmas (almost 7 months old). Look at those chubby cheeks.


Emme Christmas 2010

My little princess is growing up. Please stop :) Please stay little and innocent.

It has been a great Christmas season this year. The kids really enjoyed it and its been fun seeing life through their little eyes.

Merry Christmas!

Whats new with us?

We finally sold our house! We are now moving in with my parents until we find our forever house.

Emme got her first little hair cut. Very stylish
Noah turned into a super hero

Noah and Emme like to play "time to take a nap" behind Emme's rocking chair.

We got over 16 inches of snow. Perfect for making a snow fort with Noah.

We bought a xmas tree and attempted to get a family picture. Didnt turn out the best.

Another cute pic of Emme's haircut.

Emme's first snow fall that she can remember. She wasn't too sure about it.

We urge you, brethren, admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone. See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek after that which is good for one another and for all people. Rejoice always; pray without ceasing;in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:14-18

Thankful

I have so many reasons to be thankful this year and it brings tears to my eyes just thinking about how blessed I am.

I am thankful for....
1. another year with my two beautiful children.
2. our health.
3. my wonderful husband who lets me sleep in most mornings.
4. wonderful friends who have encouraged me in so many ways.
5. my ever growing faith. I have really learned to lean on God for everything and I am learning more each day.
6. my MOPS group. Definitely an answer to prayer.
7. family. I don't know what I would do without the support of my family.
8. my sweatpants :)
9. coffee!!! and drive-thru caribou
10. laughter....our house is filled with love and laughter. You couldn't ask for anything better!

Hope everyone has a wonderful thanksgiving.
