Before you go outside.....

Mmmmmm carrots are SO GOOD!

A little bath time fun

Last weekend we went to the Vasaloppet!

Joel skiing to the finish

What a gorgeous day, there were even some people in shorts.....

They call me mellow yellow....

Oh, what's that you say? MORE SNOW????!!!

Maybe by summer we'll be shoveled out.....

Dear winter, I'm sick of you.Go away.

Little more winter fun at the City of Lakes Loppet before it got bone chilling cold......AGAIN.

Gretta and Uncle Joel

Gretta looking pretty intense at the skiers coming in.

Little cooped up and what's better than taking some pictures?

Here's to a warm weekend coming up!!!!

Wintery winter

Started Maggie on some rice cereal this week, forgot how messy that can be......

Our friends Dave and Sarah invited us to come to a little fun in the snow today, they went on the sleds....

Gretta got a s'more by the bonfire, pretty sure this was her favorite part.

Although for a moment she did like sliding on the ice after she saw Dave and Sarah's niece partake in the activity of course.

Only in MN would people mini golf on a frozen lake.....

or play basketball on previously mentioned frozen lake! (Slam dunk by Gretta with help from Dave)

The Wild mascot was there too!

Thanks for a fun day guys! Maggie seemed to show she is a true Minnesotan and didn't make a peep the whole time we were out!

5 months....

Here's the big girl!

Standin' around....

Gretta loves her sister SOOOO much!

Pretty girls

Gretta and I had a little mom and daughter time at a friends' jewelry party, she LOVED it!

Oh my! First pigtails at 4 1/2 months......

She maybe didn't like them that much in the end..

Gretta was a YEAR and 4 months before she could get any pigtails! Gretta's was longer in back though and Maggie's is mostly up front.

Because Maggie LOVES to stand, we went on craigslist and found her a bit of an obnoxious looking toy.

 Introducing the exersaucer! She is enjoying being able to stand and play!

Today Gretta got some daddy and daughter time at the boat show! A girl who loves jewelry and boats? Hmmm...we might be in for trouble later!!

Basement finishes

The "rumpus" room, where by definition kids can play and party.

Family room

M is for Maggie! G is for Gretta!

Stripey pants.....Gretta is very into matching either Maggie, myself or even Josh on occasion.....

Gretta's first dilly bar, had a day with Daddy which included sledding "one time......."

and then hiking!
