Wow, Time Flies by Fast!

Wow, sorry I haven't been updating this....I forget that not everyone is on Facebook so you may not know what is going on in our little world! We've been busy as always.

Tyler spent the winter playing hockey, so he was busy with various hockey practices, games, and tournaments. He also took a school trip to Camp Widjiwagan near Ely. He had a blast! He had so much fun hanging out with his friends and learning about nature. One of his favorite things was learning out to canoe. He didn't want to come home, and would love to go back sometime. This summer he is playing Lacrosse with a team in Prior Lake and although he has trouble putting putting on a Lakers jersey (instead of a Shakopee Sabers) he is having fun learning the game. He pulls out his sticks and the ball and practices cradling all the time.

Tyler's team had a good hockey season, they won two tournaments and had a winning record overall. He did suffer one concussion early on in the season, but was able to come back and play after about a week of rest. One highlight was being able to play a scrimmage in Mariucci Arena on the MN Gopher's ice.

Nicholas got glasses this winter as we found out in January that he had failed his eye test at school in November. He is still getting used to them, but looks so handsome when he is wearing them! He loves playing his legos, and video games. This spring he played baseball for school and also played soccer. For the summer he is going to play Nearball, which is baseball where the coaches pitch and hang out at home...one of his favorite activities is having water fights with his brother and sister and the neighbors!

Marisa has had fun hanging out with Mom and Baby Lauren - the baby that Mom started babysitting three days a week. She loves to help but her down for a nap and getting her toys, diapers etc. She also loves to dance to music , play in the sandbox and jump on the trampoline. She is growing so fast and it is hard for Mom to believe she will be starting Pre-K in the fall.

Tyler received a GPS for a present this winter and is loving his new hobby - geo-caching. He loves trying to find the hidden treasures and has hidden is own cache near Grandma's house in Wabasso. Whenever we are going somewhere he and Dad look to see if there are any caches hidden near where we will be and he has fun trying to find them.

Now that summer is here, we are hoping to spend more time at the camper. With the soccer and lacrosse schedules, we haven't been able to get there for more than one night at a time. In a couple of weeks we should be able to start spending more time at the campground where the kids love to swim, go for walks, ride bikes and get ice cream from the office.

That's a quick update of what we have been up to. Hopefully I will be better about updating this blog more regularly. Leave me a comment so I know you are reading....it will motivate me to update it more often!
