And Cheers to a New Decade! 2020, Here we go!

Cute little snow bunny helping
his Daddy shovel the driveway.
Milwaukee got it's first real snow fall just a couple of weeks after we got back from Idaho and the boys couldn't wait to play in it. Luckily it snowed on a Friday night into Saturday morning so we didn't have anything keeping us from playing all morning long...and we did just that. We jumped off of the front porch, we had snowball fights, we shoveled the driveway, and we played and played and played. Life is good! 
Cutie in Red!

He's ready to play! 

He's glowing!

The big boys thought it would be a good
idea to start a snowball fight
with Danny. They quickly remembered
that he played minor league baseball and
his aim is pretty good! 

We only eat the white snow!




Nice work, Boys!
Coming to get me. 

Bring it on! 


It was an amazing afternoon with
some amazing boys. 

"Mom, I don't have nuffing
on mine face."

Donuts are ALWAYS a good idea. 

Betty Brinn with Dad because
well, he's the best.

And then Red Robin for dinner, just because!
He was SO ready to be done helping
mom with some grocery shopping.
But a sticker and a good seat make
everything better. 
Another morning at Betty Brinn
with my favorite two year old
Getting the Gloomhaven settings Just Right. 
These three are always up to something!
And....another afternoon at the Children's Museum!
We've become regulars!
But afternoons at the library are always a must.
Nice Lego battle, boys! 
"Oh. Hi! I'n talking to mine Papa now.
He's a good guy."

A 30 degree venture to the park.


Blessed with the best.


Staying and watching the afternoon train is a must,
no matter the temperature.

Miles was very brave during his eye exam!

This silly boy loves his hats.



Happy New Year!

We got home from Idaho and hit the ground running. We didn't have much time to get readjusted to real life before the big boys went back to school but we still managed to find time to play and we played hard. But it is always nice coming home after a long vacation! 
We're home! 
Man, I love these two. 

Betty Brinn, for the win. Go, Benji! 

This is their happy place. 

Benji and Miles helped us all come up with
accurate adjectives. From top left to bottom right,
Oliver, Mom, Benji, and Miles.


I sure love these boys of mine
and their Daddy, of course.

FHE at Build a Bear
Workshop!

Making a wish on their Dragon's hearts.

He loves his 'tormfly (Stormfly)

Barf and Belch make him happy!



A happy boy holding his Hookfang.

Merry Christmas, boys! 
Dragon faces :)

Oliver found some goggles
and didn't want to take them off. 

Not even for toothbrushing

Thanks for the cars, Grandpa! 

The boys are so excited! 

Two peas in a pod, these two. 

Another afternoon at Betty Brinn.

The cutest mail carriers I ever did see.


Singing the wheels on the bus to the whole place.

He was very thoughtful about
which groceries went into his cart.

Oliver loves story time with his Dad. 

Surprise, surprise, Oliver picked Bettty
Brinn for his morning activity, even after
two afternoons playing there with his
brothers. 

I love mornings with this goof. 
He found the perfect spot to
people watch. 

Relaxed afternoons while "the guys"
are at school consist of reading

...and painting. And napping, we just don't
have a picture of that activity.
These cool cats love Betty Brinn Children's Museum!
