Boogie Boarding

Auntie Jodie brought over some boogie boards for the kids yesterday. Jude and Liesl got the hang of them pretty quickly. Jax in typical Jax form was mad, yelling at us and throwing a tantrum....then...he decided to walk home from the beach by himself. (I did not let him) Maybe a longer nap would have been a good idea???!!! Oh my the stubborn attitude of that small child. He is giving us a run for our money that is for sure. Good thing he is cute ans looks like an angel when he is asleep. Yikes!

Firefighter Jude Jax and Tom

Our good friend Tom graduated from the St. Paul Fierfighters Academy on Friday and is now a full fledge St. Paul Fierfighter. What an honor to be a part of such history. We are so proud of him! Jude and Jax are in total awe that they know a realy firefighter. Tom is offically the coolest person they know. Until Wolveriene shows up that is.

It is warm out!

The sun was shining and my children were naked...again. Actually, Jax had a diaper rash and I wias trying to air him out and Jude just thought if his brother was naked he should be naked too. So, it was sports as usual in the yard. Only this time it was naked sports.

Art and Me

We went to Chester Bowl on Sunday for Art and Me. It is specifically for kids. They have all sorts of art projects, puppet shows, clowns, face painting. All sorts of fun things for kids.

Cutting Brush

Jude and Jax helped Burke and I cut brush on Saturday. The yard around our driveway has turned into a jungle and we are attempting to get rid of it and (fingers crossed) lay sod.

Sunday Fun Day!!!!

What a fun day. Jude, Trent and Burke went to a Twins game and Brita and I went to see Wicked. Both events were on the same day at the same time only a couple of blocks apart downtown Minneapolis. It was a blast! The guys had a great time, Jude liked all of the people and the cotton candy. Brita and I wanted to stay and see Wicked again and again and again. Oh how I love brodway shows!!!
Granny sent Jude off with a goodie bag. How cvould I forget... we also went to Chucky Cheese. Jude's best day ever!
We had to take a picture of Murray's, my Dad's all time favorite place in the world to eat. He and my Grandpa have tried to prefect the toast they serve. 1 part bread 8 parts butter, or something close to that.

Hartley Camp

Jude is going to Hartley Nature Center this week for "camp". It is a day camp where he will learn about the outdoors and camping. So far he thinks it is great!

Working JAx

Burke put Jax to work the other day while Jude was at camp. First he had to learn the ATM business then he had to cut brush form the front yard. Mom has been complaining about the jungle that is now the front yard so someone had to cut it down. Might as well be baby JAx.

JAx at soccer

Jax has his own agenda at the soccer games...meet chicks.

GOAL!!!!!

Jude scored his first goal during a soccer game last night! Hard to tell by the picture but his coach is walking over to give him a high 5. He was so excited as soon as the ball rolled in Jude threw both hands in the air and looked over to to make sure we saw the whole thing. We cheered like crazy and laughed so hard as Jude proceeded to run a victory lap around the entire field. It was so cute, funny and exciting all at the same time. Way to go Jude! He is very sure that he is going to score a goal at every game now. Our superstar!
