Afghanistan project

This year at school Sidney had a housing project.  They had to research a country, write a report and then make a model of the type of home that would be in that area.  Sidney selected Afghanistan.  She called her uncle Dave since he saw them in person and between that conversation and her research she created a great house (with a little help from her dad).  She got an A+ on her project.  See for yourself below.....

Jaxon's last Tball game

It was the final year of t-ball for Jaxon - next year pee wees here we come!  He had a great time and a great coach (it was his dad)!  He did a great job!  Here are a few photos and video of his games......

Last hit of the year! (mom couldn't get the camera to focus right and was a little late......)

Sidney's first piano recital

Sidney has been taking piano for over a year now and at the end of May she had her first piano recital.  Leanne, Adam's mom, came all the way from Fargo, ND to see the 1 minute and 30 second performance.  Sidney did a great job and we were very proud of her!  Check out her pieces below....

Did he make it to the plate??? Was it a strike????

Wells Dairy is now the official ice cream of the Minnesota Twins.  If anyone knows my husband, you will know that this makes him very happy!  Well, this week he had some meetings in the twins cities.  He was at the game on Weds night and even though the Twins lost 12-2, Adam will never forget that game.  He got to throw out the first pitch!  Who gets to do that???  I just wish I was there to see it in person.  

Well, here it is.....the long awaited video of that special night.......(look at the cheese at the end of the video...cracks me up!!!)

Ring around the rosie

It has been a while since our last entry and this was too funny not to put down.  

My son, Carter, and Tate were just doing Ring around the Rosie.  Carter likes to sing it but you must remember he is only 2 1/2 years old so his pronouncation isn't the best on some words.  So this is his version...."Ring around the rosie, pocket full of posies, Ah sh**, Ah sh**, we all fall down!

Sidney's latest commentary

Okay, we're in bed (Mom, Dad and Sidney snuggling, the boys are asleep). We see a preview for a show on TLC - Toddler's and Tiaras. It's about little kids and their parents who push them into beauty contests.

Anyway, one of the highlights on the commercial was a mom shaving her 7 year-old's legs. Lynn audibly gasps, and Sidney wonders what was wrong. Lynn says: "She's shaving her legs at 7!!"

Sidney's response? "A.M.?"

Hug it and Love it. LOL (Sidney asked me to put that here)

Jaxon's Present for Sidney

Sid turns the big 9 tomorrow (Feb. 15th).  Grandma Cosmo came down from Fargo to celebrate, and we had a little cake last night to kick off the festivities (yes, Sidney's birthday is a full weekend event).

In the middle of the celebration, Jaxon decided he wanted to give Sidney a present as well.  And, what better present than, well, himself (yep, that's wrapping paper).  Just what any 9 year-old girl would want - an annoying little brother!
