Fun for the whole family?!?

"There is no such thing as fun for the whole family"--Jerry Seinfeld

I read this quote today and had to post this video...Do you agree with Jerry?!?!

Heaven

Chloe has a phrase that she uses quite frequently..."And everyone in heaven". I have no idea where she got this phrase and today I decided to ask if she knew where heaven was...her reply? Pella!!! Oh what kids say!!! Looking at these pictures you can see that Pella looks a lot like Narnia...I'm sure hoping that heaven is much warmer than this!!

We're on our 4th day of being at home & inside so

Chloe kept busy playing dress up!!

My Grandpa turns 80!!!

Last week we had a birthday party for my Grandpa who turned 80! It was a fun time as you can tell by the pictures!!! I thought they were pretty funny so I just had to share with all of you!

Caleb is officially a toddler!

Caleb has grown up considerably in the last month.
He has switched to real people food, drinks exclusively
out of a sippy cup, and feeds himself!
He also has started WALKING! He has very little fear!
Chloe was very timid and didn't want to venture out
on her own and then we have this little brave
man!!! Here is a quote that
I recently read that I think is very appropriate:)

"A toddler, according to the dictionary, is one who toddles,
which means 'to walk with short tottering steps.' Regardless
of what the experts or outsiders say, those tiny steps will
plunge you into one of the most exasperating periods of your
adult life."
-Jain Sherrard

Celebrating the New Year in North Dakota

Caleb loved this rocking chair!
