After a hard day of play...




I had to laugh at Connor tonight when he fell asleep in our bed. He looks so funny sleeping this way! I couldn't resist taking a picture!

Garage Sale!











Mitchell is a very creative little boy, which I believe he gets from his daddy! He decided that he wanted to have a toy garage sale on Saturday afternoon. So he decided to make a garage sale sign (the number 1 is because everything is a dollar), he picked out the toys he wanted to sell and got his card table outside and was ready to sell! He waited patiently for any car that would stop along our gravel road, but sadly no one did. After about ten minutes of waiting, he decided that we needed some kids music to entice people into stopping by for the garage sale. Unfortunately, that didn't work either. But he was sure excited about his garage sale and he is quite a salesman which is another trait from his daddy :)

sLuMbEr pArTy!

Everyone ready for some fun!








All the boys asleep!














Best friends!


















The boys reading their new John Deere books!

Last night we decided to have our kid's cousins over for a BOYS ONLY (except for mom) slumber party! Mitchell and Connor were so excited to have Mason and Caleb come and spend the night! On Saturday I brought the kids to the John Deere store, Trainland and then to Mc Donalds for lunch. We had a great time and would recommend Trainland to anyone! Thanks to Caleb and Mason for coming to our slumber party! We ended the day by going to Papa and Nana Olsons for pizza and home made ice cream complete with fireworks to end the great day!

Adventureland

Mitchell and Nancy on the Ski Lift!







On Saturday we got to go to Adventureland for the day. We waited for the rain to subside before we went and it ended up being a nice day. Elden's sister Angie had some discounted tickets from her employeer and so we got to go for cheaper. We decided to have Connor stay home with Elden since we didn't know how well he would do. This was the first time that Mitchell got to go to Adventureland so he was pretty excited. Mitchell was pretty determined to get mommy wet on the log ride, but Mitchell was the one that got the most wet! We also went on the raging river, bumper cars and even on a roller coaster for the first time! Mitchell wasn't too impressed with the roller coaster. A big thank you to Angie and Nancy for making this such a fun and special day!

Omaha Zoo Fun!















This past weekend the kids had a great weekend in Omaha thanks to their wonderful aunts! They took them to the Children's museum and the Omaha Zoo! The kids had a great time riding trains, riding on the ski lift, and seeing all the animals and doing all the activities at the museum. Here are a few pictures of their fun trip! Mom and Dad took advantage of the kids being gone by having a weekend away as well! We went on a road trip to Wisconsin and on the way home we went through a town that was having "Milking Days" festival in Illinois. Dad even surprised mom with a jacuzzi in their hotel room! It was a fun weekend for all the family with lots of great memories!
