Rich!

This weekend was wonderful! Brian's brother, Richard came to visit us. He leaves on his mission to Argentina on the 18th of this month so we were so excited that he could come and visit us before he leaves. He really is going to be such a good missionary! We were able to have a lot of fun with him while he was here. We went golfing, to the Mall of America, Cheesecake Factory, Como Zoo, and Como Town-where Marcus and Tyson were able to enjoy there first amusement park rides together. They both really love there Uncle Rich and are really going to miss him. We are so excited for you Rich and know you will be the best missionary ever! We love you!

Tyson and Apples!

Both of the boys love eating apples, but Tyson sure gets excited if he gets to have the whole apple. It doesn't happen all that often either, most of the time I will cut up the apples and that way they can go a lot longer. The other day Tyson and I were waiting in the car for Daddy and Marcus, and I noticed that we had an apple and since he was getting a little impatient I gave him the whole thing...he loved it!

Daddy and Marcus!

Marcus is at the stage where he knows what he wants to wear. Every morning if he doesn't get to see Daddy before he leaves he asks me..."What's on Daddy's belly?" or in other words, what is he wearing. I don't quite know why he says it like that but I love how he says it so I don't even want to correct him. He really loves to wear exactly what his Daddy is wearing and if he can't then he at least likes to match Tyson.

My Sister's Baby!

Early this morning my sister, Michele had her sweet little baby girl. Jaisa Ann Thompson. She was 6 pounds 1oz and 19 inches long. They are both doing great. I am just sad that I am missing out on these two beautiful girls. I am sure glad that we have the technology that we can at least get pictures. This is their fourth child and they are such good parents. Mason, Zoe, and Porter are all so excited to have her finally here!

My Brother's Baby!

Yesterday Mike and his sweet wife, Traci had their little girl, Ellanie Weston. She is so beautiful! She was 5 pounds 3oz and 18 inches long. She is doing really well for being 4 weeks early. I am so excited for them they are really going to be the best parents!

It is crazy how little she is, compared to my brothers hands, (which really aren't that big :0)) she really is tiny!

Farm Animals!

Finals are done and we had a couple of days to celebrate before Brian started work, so this past weekend we went to the Minnesota Zoo. It was so fun and the weather was perfect! The farm animals were an instant hit! Marcus and Tyson really loved it.

Here are the boys all ready to go. (Good lookin' shirts huh, thanks Jeana!)
Tyson just chillin'.
Marcus loved the little goats they would slobber all over him, but as you can see it didn't bother him at all!
Here is an Oreo cow!

This is my favorite, I love Marcus' little smile and he loved to get behind here and look out.

Best Four Years!!

Brian and I have now been married for four wonderful years!! (yesterday, March 12) I am the luckiest girl in the world. Brian is the best husband and father - I couldn't ask for any better. I am so excited that I get to spend eternity with this good lookin' man!
