3 for Kendal 1 for Cora

I turned 31 over the weekend and Kendal brought it to my attention that it was 3 for Kendal and 1 for Cora. I thought that was pretty clever of her. We enjoyed a great weekend at home with the girls. Our started the day off with Kendal and I making cupcakes for Breakfast:) then I met Juli for a pedicure!! It was wonderful. Our Daycare provider Colleen gave me a B-day present by coming over to watch the girls for the night so we could go out! It was wonderful they jumped out of our arms to be with her, so that makes it pretty easy to leave and have a good time. We had mexican and went indoor golfing. I can deffinately say I have never been golfing on my birthday and it has never rained before on my birthday what a strange winter These are a few pics of last week when we were able to get out of the house and enjoy the snow. A much needed thing to do especially for the dog:)This is Cora enjoying the beaters after we made our cupcakes on my B-day:)This is the story of our lives lateley Cora wrestling her big sister! She deffinately has a littl of her daddy in her! She is part monky as well, she climbs everthing and loves to destroy everything! She is our little monster:) But one cute monster that I love!

We met Chad sisters and mom for lunch on Sunday to celebrate our Birthdays, Kim turned 40 on Thursday. She is pregnant too! The weather was good for us on Sunday thank goodness but that is a different story today...I about got stranded in Spirit Lake today but Chad drove over and got me.. probably not the smartest thing to do in the world but I have never been soo happy to be at home with my family!!

A Christmas To Remember!

Every Christmas is one to remember but this year was especially crazy! We got around 22 inches of snow with wind so needless to say we did not make it to Holstein to be with the families. It was our 1st Christmas in Lake Park! The other crazy thing was Kendal got sick in the middle of the night on Christmas eve. She threw up in her bed then she got sick in our bed then in the AM we shared a toilet together throwing up at the same time. I never thought I would be sick sharing a toilet with my 2 and half year old daughter being sick. It hit me hard I was couch bound all day with a tummy ache and body aches. Chad was wonderful he took care of everyone! This is the girls sucking on their ring pop candy from their stockings! This is Kendal in their preset from Santa! Santa made it though the blizzard! This is the 3 foot drift at our front door! Doesn't look like we will be going anywhere soon! Kendal got a Barbie and Barbie movie, Cora got a toy camera and of course both of them got the car. Cora was more interested in getting breakfast then getting her presents in the morning. This was the first time Kendal saw the car this AM The girls got matching PJ's and the gone fishin game they had some fun with. The girls got matching PJ's and the gone fishin game they had fun with. Kendal had a Barbie christmas, Barbie car, a Barbie movie, Barbie car and Barbie dress up clothes ooh la la baby:) Cora discovered how to get the lid off of markers..TROUBLE. she just giggles and sticks them in her mouth. She is one busy girl she also discovered how to stick socks done the vent of the dryer! Both not good habits. This was Cora's 2nd christmas but last year she was too little to enjoy so this year she enjoyed all of the excitment. Her sister usually took over the unwrapping portion:) Enjoy the video of the car. Merry Christmas!
