Twins at the Twins

Nani and Poppa were very generous and let us use their tickets to take the twins to their first Minnesota Twins game!!

It was a big hit until it started pouring after 1 1/2 innings. We soon recovered with some mini donuts and now the kids think baseball games consist of running around and mini donuts.   Atleast we got some photos before it poured!!
We'll have to try again next year...

Brady-isms

I have a few funny Brady things for you:

1. We were at my parents when my Mom was in the yard and put a frog she had found in a bucket for the kids. The kids loved it, especially Brady! First he picked it up, then threw it into the grass before I could get to him. I put it back in the bucket for H & C to see it again. The frog then jumped out of the bucket and Brady proceeded to stomp on it. Luckily he missed. No more frogs for this kid!

2. We were finishing up baths and I was getting Brady's PJs on when he says:

B: " I got a penis."

Mom: Yes, you do.

Brian: is it big or little

B: it's a BIG penis. Daddy has little penis.

3. Brady grabbed off a tomato from Nani's garden, then proceeded to eat it and make a mess all over his face.  A few minutes later he was playing with the neighbor's white dog. You guessed it... The dog had red tomato all over his back. And the neighbors had just come back from the groomers. Classic!

4. We arrived at the car after leaving from swim lessons.I was loading in H & C when I saw Brady  put his arm in my car's exhaust pipe. I pulled it out right away and his arm was almost complete black from the soot. 

Where does he come up with this stuff?! At least I can say he is creative!

Cabella Museum

On our way back from Omaha, we stopped at a "museum" called Cabella's!!     It was the best entertainment for the kids!

We walked thorough the fish aquarium, saw all sorts of animals and sat on a tractor.  Who knew Cabella's was so great?

Scott's College Graduation- May 2014

The family headed down to Omaha, Nebraska for Scott's graduation from Creighton undergraduate in May.  He got his degree in Chemistry and will be starting pharmacy school in the fall at Creighton!! (Still so crazy that all 3 boys followed the same path!). 

 

It was the first time since Brian and I had been back to campus and the first time the kids had been there.  We had such a great time touring around town! Plus, the cousins had a blast!

We had such a great time spending the weekend in Omaha with the whole Murray clan. Hopefully we will make it back before Scott's next graduation!

Congrats Scottie!!!

BBQ at the Murrays!

2.5 years! Who says the Two's are terrible?!?! Not this guy!

Groceries x3

I have avoided grocery shopping with all 3 kiddos for 15 months (Colin's age), until the other day...  Luckily I had only a handful of things to get.

Highlights of the trip:

1. B& H waving and saying Hi and Bye to anyone in earshot!

2. I didn't realize I had stopped in front of the refillable water gallons. I discovered 5 gallon cartons in the car with the twins. Luckily it was soon after!

3. Colin does not like to sit still in the chair. He kept standing up! 

I was checking out at the counter and the  guy at the register said: "Um, Mam, your kid is standing up."

Well, maybe in another 15 months I'll do it again!!!
