Thanksgiving 2011









This year Blake, Bennett, and I traveled to Walker, MN to meet my family for Thanksgiving. Randy stayed back to try and get that big buck! We rented a house near Leech Lake. The house was ideal, with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms-- 1 for each family. The bonus was the indoor swimming pool, hot tub, and sauna :)

On Friday evening we took in the local Holiday Lights parade that Walker put on. All of the kiddos LOVED seeing all of the parade lights, and the candy was a hit as well!

The cousins enjoyed playing together and being silly. Bennett wasn't too sure of straying far from my side because of the unfamiliar surroundings. As soon as we returned he was back to his normal "daddy's boy" self, however.

How thankful I am that everyone made it to MN safely and home again. Thanks for the memorable weekend!

Halloween 2011

Papa Ron and Claudia stopped over about a week ago to see the boys in their costumes. They got a little practice saying "trick or treat" as Papa and Grandma also brought some goodies along :)

For the actual day of Halloween this year we ventured to Mondovi to take in some trick-or-treating with the boys. Blake aka(Spiderman) and Bennett aka (Zebra) enjoyed seeing all of the jack o'lanterns lit up and knocking on the doors to say "trick or treat!"

A few weeks ago Blake drew a self-portrait of him in his Halloween costume. You can see the drawn Spiderman and the real Spiderman below.
