Spring WAS in the air.........

IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY ON WEDNESDAY! We couldn't ask for better weather. We spent the entire day outside. The boys were exhausted and so was mommy!

Today is NOTHING like Wednesday. I am still having a hard time getting use to beautiful sunny days followed by rain showers...sometimes the same day! Rain in the summer months??? Who knew?? I guess that's how the Midwest keeps everything so green and pretty! I must say, I was pleasantly surprised that only one month ago the snow finally melted and the grass was brown and ugly! Today, the grass is already beautiful and green.

We will be patiently waiting for the storm to pass. Hopefully sooner rather than later. Today we are off the the Mall of America to get out of the house......POOR DADDY! He too will hope and pray for sunny days ahead to keep mommy out of the mall!!

Our Hoopsters!

We set up the boys basketball hoop in the basement last weekend from Uncle Dave and Auntie Jeni. They had a blast! It was fun to watch and think about all the games we will be attending in the future!! Our little Point Guard and Center will be practicing their skills for future games against Daddy and Uncle Dave!!

Easter Pics

Easter was wonderful! The boys really had a good time hunting for Easter eggs. We decided to hide them in the park behind my sister's condo. It was perfect! I'm not sure if they put more eggs in their basket or tanbark! The day basically consisted of eating....talking...and more eating!! What else do you do when you get together with friends and family????

Girls Weekend

Tomorrow I leave for Los Angeles for a girls trip. 4 days alone without the kids. I've never been away from both boys so the trip is bittersweet. I know I will have a great time but I will miss them dearly!

My girlfriend Melissa moved from Hermosa Beach to the burbs to have a baby. We are excited to spend time shopping, drinking coffee and hanging out at the beach. The weather forecast is in the high 70's low 80's. Minnesota weather is forecasting for snow....AGAIN...so the timing is GREAT!

Grandma and Grandpa Eichhorst are coming for a long weekend to help Pete with the boys. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!! You are lifesavers! I really appreciate it and I know Daddy does too!

Have a great weekend!!

Hanging with the BIG KIDS!

Jake is placing bets on the Final Four!

WOW!! This big bell makes LOTS of noise!

Corbin and Zach

Are you sure I'm too young for you Alexis??


The boys had a blast hanging out with Corbin and Alexis (my best friend Carla's kids) during our visit to California! . The first couple of days at home they were looking around for Grandpa, Aunties, Uncles and Cousins. NOTHING but boring ol' Mom!!!
