Mikko loves watching David run by

Mikko laughs so hard and kicks his legs in delight when he watches David run by. Here is David running by screaming "Jingle Bells" and Mikko's reaction.

Carol - "this is a Video"

He's on the move!

We've got a crawler in the house! His first crawl went directly to the electrical outlet.

The Crazy House

Greta getting kisses from Foxy.

Group picture of "The Rug Game". We play it every time Bobby and Greta come over. I have the kids close their eyes and give them a series of directions/steps and then they have to guess what color square their are standing on. Simple, yet makes Bobby laugh super hard.

Greta doing a puzzle with Grandpa Huntz. Great LOVES puzzles.

Mikko climbed over my leg to "Help" David and Greta with this puzzle. Greta doesn't look very pleased with him!

Bobby helping David with the "Rug Game"

Bobby and David playing with the "Stacking Robots"

We were playing "Sorry" and Jimmy came and layed right on our game. It was pretty funny.

David buried Grandma Marlene in blocks are she tried to watch the Olympics in the basement.

On Sunday evening we went to Matt’s for cheeseburgers with my parents and the Fraser’s. Besides Mikko doing a “Ninja Move” and spilling a pitcher of Summit, it was very fun and very yummy! It was my dieting indulgence of the week!

Afterwords Carrie and Charles were going to see a play at the Guthrie so they brought the kids over for the evening. The kids had so much fun. It was seriously the “Crazy House”. It was a whirlwind of toys and playing and games and laughing. Grandpa Huntz noted how wonderful it is that we can watch each other’s kids. Mikko just watched all the craziness and the kids running around. Bobby is so patient with Gretzky and David. We tried to not have David run around (because of his cough) but that didn’t really work. It was a very fun night, even though it completely wore all us adults out!

Happy 8th Birthday Bobby

Bobby wanted to have a Wii party. Carrie made him this Wii Cake!

Party Kids!


Mikko playing Twister

David playing Twister with the girls.

He would try to copy what they were doing.

Mikko loved the balloons

Happy Birthday Auntie Mandy and Uncle Corey

Grandma Carol

Great Uncle Bob

Mikko on Dusty's shoulders

Wearing the silly chicken "hat" that Mandy made!

David eating with Dusty

Mikko threw up Birthday Cake on Uncle Dusty. Seems to be a theme having Mikko throw up on Dusty.

Silliness

We had brunch at Grandma Carol's house to celebrate Mandy and Corey's Birthdays. Leah didn't come because the boys are still recovering from RSV and we didn't want her to get sick.

As you can see, they had lots of fun with their aunties and uncles!

Firefighter

We tell David that his Nebulizer mask makes him look like a firefighter. We complete the look by putting his fireman's hat on! What a brave little guy. Hopefully we won't have to do this much longer.

Random Pictures

Every morning we make David get on the potty right away. He hates any light in the morning and complains that it is "Too Bright". So, he sits on the potty with his blankie (I mean Mikko's blanket) over his head.

I had to tap on the window to make sure Foxy was still alive this afternoon. She LOVES to lay in the snow for hours. She should be in a Polar Bear exhibit at the zoo.

The Fraser's came over on Sunday for pizza. Greta looks like a diva in this picture.

We have no idea where David and Gretzky went.

Uncle Charles and the Mikkster. He may compete with Grandma Marlene as the Mikko Whisperer!

Special thanks to Carol who came with us! After the service we went to Damon's favorite restaurant, Citizen Cafe for a wonderful meal. The owner gave us our meal "On the House" because Damon has been helping her mother out with some handy work lately.

Happy Valentine's Day!

This was the card I made for all the Grandparents and Cousins.

Happy Valentine's Day

David's favorite - Thomas the Train

What is Valentine's Day without Chocolate?


We'll have to create some masterpieces!

Mikko got a swim ring for our upcoming trip to the Dells.

I gave Damon Peeps. David had some too.

Damon also gave Mikko a bite too, with

disastrous results.
