Graham is 2!!

Graham turned 2  back on November 15th, it's truly hard to believe that 2 years have passed! It feels like he's always been here, yet I can remember the day he was born so clearly! He's a great little guy, such a gentle heart! He loves his big sister, playing with his mom's hair and wrestling with daddy! He loves to feed and watch the deer in our back yard and he really wants to go to the "hunky shack" AKA Hunting Shack with daddy to do "boy things".
He's funny, smart, sweet, has the cutest smile and the best laugh. He loves to give hugs, Paw Patrol, he loves stuffed animals and ALL of his sister's toys. Playing outside is one of his favorites, it's been hard with the cold weather...but we've managed to get outside enough to keep him happy. He's growing up so fast, and we couldn't be more proud of this sweet and amazing little boy! Happy Birthday Graham!

Aquarium at MOA

Graham and I were spoiled by Auntie Tracy a while back. She had free passes to the aquarium at Mall of America and we got in on the fun! Graham loved it and was pumped that he got to touch the sting rays! We even stopped at build a bear to find a little treasure for him. He picked a dino and named him "sin-sin"...I have no idea where that came from, but it works! 

 A random goofy pick that ended up downloading on this post...I like it :) 

Paige lost her first tooth!

I'm behind on posting...Paige lost her first tooth on Oct. 27th. She had a little help from her brother, they were wrestling and he accidentally kicked her in the mouth. Her tooth was hanging by a thread and the bump to her mouth was enough to set that little tooth free. She was so worked up, lots of tears...but once the pain and shock wore off she was really excited to see what the tooth fairy would bring. The tooth fairy brings a big present for your first tooth and then you get $1 for every other tooth you loose (or so I'm told). She has 2 more that are really loose, we'll see how long they hang in there...we might need more assistance from Graham!

 Notice her "big" took is already fully grown in! 

Paige's 1st Class Field trip!

Paige had her first class field trip a while back and I'm just getting around to posting about it. I feel really lucky that I was able to go with and volunteer. She has a great class and I had a total of 5 kids that I was in charge of. Paige's buddy Chelsee was in our group and it was fun to get to know her a little better. The kids loved their time at Pine Haven, lots of fun things to do and the day flew by. The bus ride home was quiet, I'd guess that over half the kids fell asleep...so much fun!!!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from out little dinosaur and our cute little kitty! 

Carving Pumpkins

We picked them, now it's time to carve them! Thanks to Ryan and Paige for pulling out all the guts! My hands don't like that job at all :). Look at all the fun faces we came up with! Happy Halloween!
