Heading out for a walk on Sunday...

Gabe fell asleep on the walk and continued his rest inside..

Mr. Drew showing off his toys. He likes to haul them around in the wagon.

The boys both had colds this week. Here are Andrew and I trying to catch up on sleep yesterday...

And tonight Andrew tried out a road bike for the first time. I think he liked it!

Randoms!

Andrew with his new haircut wanted yogurt and pepperoni for supper. We get spoiled by one of my customers with pepperoni and salami from Liguria Foods.... It doesn't last long around here!

Hail. In March. Oh hail no!

My little buddy and how I put him to sleep every night. The only thing that changes from day to day are the books.

Gabe kept saying "take my picture"! So here it is...

Little man showing off his slippers. They lasted only about 1 minute.

Time for a trim...

Our fantastic hairdresser Linda attempted Andrew's hair for the 2nd time. THIS time I used Jill & Craig's trick (thanks!) of giving the little one a sucker. He sat perfectly nice and let Linda trim away and even use the clippers without a problem!

I love the squished sideways tongue in this picture. What a goof!

And OF COURSE Gabe had to have a sucker too, "so I don't fweak out mommy".

When all was said and done I had two well trimmed boys and Linda and I got the giggles because Andrew looked SO grown up...

Love me some work girls!

My work pal Jan (left) had a surprise 60th birthday party last night in Algona. It was a good time and a lot of people.... these are the only 3 I knew there! L to R, Jan, me, Mary, Mary Ann.

Jan opening her presents.... Reading her card from all of us at Larry's Rx.

...and her gift from us! An engraved cake pan that isn't engraved yet... The machine broke so it will be done later! Jan still loved it though...

April and 'the original' Jan came later but I didn't capture them on camera...

Home & Away

We have all been healthy for a week or so and have been enjoying the "normal" life.... Cuddling...

riding horse....

and travleing to Watertown, SD to meet up with Kristi & Sydney.

Our hotel had a great pool and we went to a place called KidZone. It was like a gigantic McDonald's play place with games and pizza.

The kids had a great time being crazy..

Andrew was so funny at the pool. He happily sported a mohawk and walked around with his swim trunks falling down.

Gabe...

Gabe and I were goofing around with orange hats that Andrew gave us...

And Gabe got his first ribbon at tumbling for doing really great crab-walks on Monday!

It says "Melinda's School of Dance Star Tumbler"!

Silly little boy!

Andrew loves to copy how I sit in bed.

W I L D!

Dressing up with goodies from the closet.

Always loving the cozy-coupe!

He looked like such a little man in this outfit....

but I had trouble getting a good picture of him!

Trying out the potty....

I think he may be a little young....

No Andrew, it's not your feet that are supposed to go in there!
