Twins' Birthday Party

Tom & Troy turned two on June 17th! We had a "Thomas the Train" themed birthday party, and it was fun for everyone! The twins got some new train sets, and many more tracks to add to their collection! It is hard for me to believe that they are two already...where did the time go?!

Photo Update

For my non-facebooking family & friends, here are some photos that I have posted lately. Enjoy! :-)

New Floor

Eric and I both share our birthdays in the month of April, so we decided to spoil ourselves with a new floor in our kitchen & dining room. It is so nice, and will certainly be easier to clean than the carpet we had before! I was taking a picture of the floor, and just happened to catch one of the twins jumping from the living room carpet onto the new floor. He thinks the floor is great also! ;-)

Christy's Birthday

Christy turns 12 tomorrow, and we are having her friend party tonight! We have already done the cake, ice cream, present-opening, and singing. Eric and I (with the help of some very generous grandparents ;-) bought Christy a Karaoke Machine and now she is downstairs belting out "Amazing Grace" with one of her friends! Happy Birthday to my energetic, quick-witted and sweet-spirited daughter!

Minnesota History Center

We took a field trip to the History Center today! The new children's exhibits are fantastic! The kids really enjoyed all of the hands-on learning, and the twins kept us on our toes. Thank you, Julie Dalton Crafton for our Minnesota Historical Society membership...it has been great!

New Cookware

After 10+ years of faithful service, I decided to replace my old, worn-out pots & pans with this new set! They are supposed to last a very long time according to the reviews I read about on the website. We'll see...I tend to really wear out my cookware as I try to keep up with my large family! ;-)

Quilting Room

We finally cleaned out our spare room and set it up for quiltmaking! We have all of our supplies organized, books at the ready, and fabric neatly folded in drawers. Now, all we need is for daddy to keep the boys busy so we can have our "girl" time! ;-)
