Our 5th Anniversary

We woke up to this wonderful note from Ashly. It's our 5th Anniversary today and I love Chadd more today than the day I married him, which I didn't think possible, but anyone who feels this way about their husband or wife knows exactly what I mean. We will be postponing our little date night to celebrate being that Chadd is sick (a cold-virus thing). Everyone wish my husband to get well! Cheers to 5 years and many more!!

Painting

Christopher loves playing with all the toys at the Lakehouse.

Last Sunday Chadd's family repainted the house on Lake Minnetonka. Here is Chadd in action.

Looks good!

Chadd noticed this poor little spider that got painted!!

Go Get Toilet

So we had this pumpkin filled with candy to bring to Kyle's birthday party a couple weekends ago. I made the mistake of letting Christopher have a piece because he has such a sweet tooth! I put it up and away on the counter and told him no more. Well, he wasn't having that for an answer so he took it upon himself to take care of the problem. He said, "I will go get toilet" (notice: the stool he is using is his potty chair). He went to the bathroom, drug his potty chair out to the kitchen and helped himself to the candy! I just had to laugh...and take a picture! Smart boy!

Wisconsin Cabin

Here is the cabin that was built on our Wisconsin Hunting Land. We had someone build it and Chadd and Dave painted it. I think it looks good! Now they need to work on the inside. This will be Chadd's mancave! I hope he enjoys many years filled with many good times at the cabin with his friends and eventually with his son.

Wyoming Stagecoach Days

This morning we went to Wyoming Stagecoach Days. First was the kiddie parade. It was kinda spontaneous to join in so it was a good thing I had a costume in cue. Here is my little fireman!

The little girl in the princess dress offered to hold Christopher's hand while they walked.

Next, after the parade, Christopher jumped in the hopper's for over an hour. He had a blast!
There was a boy from daycare that he played with for awhile.

He's not afraid of anything!

This is a cool firetruck! He didn't want to sit in it though.

We also played games like a ring toss, basketball throw, pick a ducky, hockey, and horse shoe toss. He won a couple prizes including a ball and a puppy stuffed animal. The games were sponsored by the Wyoming Elementary PTA. We also rode on the Stagecoach pulled by horses. Christopher grinned ear to ear during the ride. He thought it was pretty cool to be pulled by horseys! Tonight there will be fireworks to watch at dusk. What a fun day!

Meeting Noah

I was ecstatic to meet Noah for the first time. He is adorable!

He was so wide awake and alert. I loved holding him!

Noah and Mommy!

Getting ready to have his first bath. I had so much fun being there for his first bath adventure!

Just a little cat nap before he gets wet!

He seemed to like the bath.

He's so tiny! I love it!

Thanks to Jennie and Blake for letting me stay. I had a great time with Noah and I am so happy for you! He is precious!

Fireman

Ready for rain or fire! He is obsessed with firetrucks right now so I just couldn't resist getting this. I think it could double as a halloween costume!
