Teddy bears and picnics

Today the girls and I had a FABULOUS day!
Teddy bear park, grocery shopping, and a picnic dinner at the Osceola Landing.

What a nice uncle AJ!

Following this pic Zoey took a face plant into the river. So we stripped her down, and wrapped her in daddy's sweatshirt...... :)

Notice the muddy pants....... :)

I couldn't agree more Reegan Liz. What a wonderful day!!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter 2012~

The Easter Bunny was very busy last night............

May you have a blessed day!

Tears..........

Tears. That is all I can say to my discovery today. September 22nd 2011 Curt, the girls, and I headed to our Tomfohrde family cabin. I was so excited to show my girls the place I had so many fond family memories. And truly it was one of those moments that would flash before my eyes with my last breath. And when we got home, my video camera was no where to be found. I agonized for days, months, many sleepless nights. WHY? I feel that capturing the girls childhood is one of the best things I can do for them. I cherish my home videos from being young. And god forbid something ever happen to Curt and I, there is video they can adore. But I was also so sad, knowing I had taped a moment with Reegan and Curt that truly was one of the best moments of my life. And all I had was it, in my head.

But alas. Today. Curt FOUND MY CAMERA~ in his truck. I literally cried. Videos from last June-Sept. So I share with you, that very moment. That I can assure you some day, will be playing behind my dying eyes. It was my slice of heaven. And all was right in the world for a moment in time.

And a few cute others that were too cute to share.

Books, and grandparents

We were lucky enough to spend the lunch time with my grandpa Hovde, and the lovely Grandma Kathy. We had to cancel our lunch date on Tuesday due to the viral illness that is stuck in our house. So today was highly anticipated on all fronts. Grandpa and Kathy came for lunch, as did my Mom. As soon as Grandpa was here, Reegan had him trapped in her bedroom reading books. After lunch, we enjoyed a cool afternoon, with books again.

Then after dinner, Grandpa and Grandma Kulzer stopped over for ice cream to celebrate Grandma's birthday ( how lucky are we?) They brought a whole sundae for each of us.

Then we headed outside. It wasn't that dark yet.........

And our night ended the way it started....by bookside. :)

Lucky girls we are to have 4 great grandparents, and 4 grandparents that all live in close proximity, and we get to love on daily. We are missing Papa and Nanny, who just returned home from Hawaii. We will catch up with them as soon as Nanny is better, and our viral crud is further away. Don't wanna spread the illness. Speaking of that, I better start disinfecting all the books we read today. :)

Outside Monday.........

Its a overcast Monday, but warm, like 70's. So the girls and I headed outside.

Papa and Reegan putting on the training wheels! This bike came from the Paitl family. (Thank you!)

Trying it out, "its too hard"

Posing for a pic. Its hard to not pedal backwards~

Notice Zoey's face. She is already not sure about this thing, or Reegan's driving skills

I DON'T LIKE THIS!

A future vison of Zoey's view on Reegan's driving. :)
