After Fall, comes Winter. For all the boys care about is Christmas. Winter means Christmas to them. They keep track of time throughout the year by the holidays they look forward to next. The standing tradition is to get our tree the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Year to year, it's impossible to predict the weather. Sometimes you don't need a winter coat, it's been bone chilling cold, muddy, and snowy. This year was perfect. A little snow and a beautiful day!</div>

My Charlie Brown tree for the entry way. Last year I found one pre-cut for $12.00. This year, they must be onto the Charlie Brown trend as this was $50.00. What!?!? I even had to cut out some branches once we got it home to make it look more Charlie Brown!</div>

Something we really tried to instill in the boys this year was that it is just as much fun to give as it is to receive. We adopted a family with some girls that we were able to shop for and the boys thought is was funny to buy presents for two little girls that we didn't know. They were very thoughtful in picking them out some gifts based on their interests. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The time with family was extra special, as this next year is the year for good health. Too many close to us were affected with cancer this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am not prepared to write about losing my dad quiet yet. Don't get me wrong, I write all the time however he may or may not someday have a blog post solely dedicated to him. We lost my dad after a brief battle with Cancer in December. I think of him and miss him everyday.</div>

I've had these pictures ready to go for quite some time. I have lost my motivation to blog, maybe not my motivation but the time I want to spend. I like how it kept me downloading my pictures on a weekly basis and organize them on my hard drive. I haven't let go of the idea of the blog... I just don't feel the guilt if it doesn't get done. I am trying for maybe monthly updates, or by the season the way I have been going.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let's get started! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Halloween was all about the Avengers. Even though we have many costumes for dress up and I thought they were going to be 2 Ninja Turtles, they decided to be HULK SMASH for their dress up day at school.</div>

We had a family friendly Halloween Party the Friday with Halloween being on Saturday. The local businesses do a downtown Trick-or-Treating so we did that and then had some friends over. Sorry for the lack of pictures. I took only these of Captain Caz and his Parrot show up. Then my camera was put away and the craziness started. We had 23 kids and 11 adults at one count.</div>

He fell in our bedroom and mentioned that his teeth felt funny. Sure enough he had a couple loose. I got a same day dentist appointment to make sure it wasn't from a injury. After x-rays and a cleaning, they basically said he has advanced teeth (no injury), about 6 loose and his six year molars were in. Oh boy! He is really going to look like a hockey player! </div>

Really?!?! Here we are, well into Fall and I am looking back at the last time I blogged. But i'm not going there... not even going to say why I've been too busy to blog because it may or may not all be covered in this post. We have been busy every.single.Saturday.since.school.started! on the plus side, I am done coaching volleyball for another season... like that didn't take much of my time (joking). I'll try my best to recap all of our memories being made!</div>

The first part of October marked our High School's Homecoming. The parade, the game, and Ted's pizza are all part of our yearly tradition. We had great weather and great friends! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We went to where we usually sit and ran into some friends of the boys'.</div>

In August some friends and I decided to run a 10K. I didn't have as much time to train as I would have liked to, but we made a weekend of it anyway. It was a girls weekend as we ran the Women's Run the Cities. We went up on Saturday for lunch, some shopping supper, and ran the race on Sunday. We may have put on more miles shopping than in the race! I'm not sure what was more sore... my body or my checkbook ;)</div>

Speaking of school, they LOVE their "homework" and talking about school.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had their first Parent Teacher Conference this past week and I was excited. I was excited to be attending conferences for the first time as a parent and not the one holding the conference. I was excited to hear how they have been doing, how they get a long, and what the teacher had to say. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are doing great. They are good friends to all the kids, they are close in class but not so close that it worries the teacher. She sees them as great friends and not like brothers in the classroom. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Aiden knew 5 letter at the beginning of the year and now knows 6 (a little gain).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ashton knew 11 letters and now knows 19 uppercase. Since he knew above 18 uppercase they tested his lowercase. He knew 22. Ashton is the kid with a steel trap memory and LOVES to do his alphabet puzzle that Gramma and Grampa got him for Christmas. </div>

Friday night we went to Cubby's for pizza and had supper with Grandpa Rodney. We found out about a month ago that my dad has stage four throat and tonsil cancer with a possible spot in his lung. It has been tough to say the least. We have been in Rochester meeting with his team trying to figure out a treatment plan. Surgery is not an option, so we are going the Chemo and Radiation route. It will be a very difficult treatment for dad the next 7-10 weeks, but we are hoping to get him through this so he can enjoy his life again! I won't say too much more about the situation as he is a very private person and we are taking it day by day!</div>

Yesterday we had a Hockey Day. We headed to the cities to watch Blais and Team Wisconsin play in Eagan in the morning. We then had Brigs come with us to run some errands, eat at Buffalo Wild Wings, and head to the Minnesota Wild game. It was a fun filled boy day. I say boy day because I was with some of my favorite boys and it was fun. Don't get me wrong - this girl can totally do hockey all day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Brigs is like a older brother to the boys and he was picking on them like they were his younger brothers! I could/would totally raise three boys... but nope not having any more. ;)</div>

Ashy is totally in to dressing up. He has been planning his Halloween costume since last year, and dressed up most every day in either his baseball uniform, the Packers uniform, his Darth Vader from last year or any super hero you can think of. I will be going to Walmart after Halloween and buying costumes on sale for his birthday and Christmas!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yesterday on the way to the Wild game he was Batman and today while helping me with groceries he was Darth Vader. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He didn't want to wear his mask inside the store though because "he didn't want to scare people."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think it is so cute that is is so into it and he doesn't care what he looks like. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is perfect in that way!</div>

I think that is it... I am sure I am missing some stuff and there are pictures in my email or on Adam's phone but I don't care. I want this post done. Onto the next! Maybe there will be another post this fall, or maybe the next one will be titled "Winter".</div>

End of Summer? No. It is the end of summer vacation, but the weather can very much so stay summer! August was a busy month as we were trying to pack all of the last bit of freedom with our schedules in before back-to-school. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Upon returning from South Dakota, we were home for three days and then headed North to join some friends at the Lake. Some friends of our bought a resort 2 years ago, and although Adam helps put in and take out their docks each year, we have yet to get up there and stay. We had a three bedroom cabin with another family so it was cozy but a lot of fun! Last year we chose the week and wouldn't you know, it was a week of pure rain. Cabin fever struck on day two when we couldn't get outside, but we pushed through. <strike>We </strike> The boys fished in the rain, we did a fire with some sprinkles, and we did a pontoon ride in the mist. The One picture I took with my camera is of the kiddos snuggled in for a movie...</div>

Ashy LOVES fishing right now. He is getting good at casting, putting on his own worm and taking off his catch! Another bonus = no hook in his fingers... yet.</div>

It was a great time, would have been better with nicer weather, but we were with great friends. We will for sure be back next year. If you are looking for very nice cabins on a beautiful lake - The Gathering Place in Birchwood is the place to go!</div>

Can't wait to see these boys skate together again in October.</div>

The boys keep asking when they will go back to "their old hockey."</div>

Funny story: Jaxon, their friend skated summer in the cities and when we were vacationing in Door County, he asked his mom if Ashton and Aiden got traded. He didn't want them playing for another team on the other side of the state. She assured him they weren't traded, but instead going a different place for summer training and they will all skate together in October. He was serious and seriously watching the trading between the teams :)</div>

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Are they really old enough to be going to 4K?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first day was orientation and a chance to drop in and meet the teacher. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Aiden was disappointed that we weren't leaving and he couldn't stay there by himself. They are together because each placement is a single section... so the big decision will come next year on whether to split them or not.</div>

1st <i>real</i> Day of School.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The night before, I let them choose their own outfits. To my surprise they picked completely different AND older clothes. This really bothered Nana, as they were different and with all the new clothes she bought them, they chose "old clothes" from their drawers. They couldn't have been more excited! </div>

<b>A few randoms:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Ashton falls asleep on the bus most days and the first day Aiden told me, <i>"I got tired of holding Ashton's head off me."</i> So I told him to let Ash sit by the window so he doesn't have to lean on him ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*The next day they came home and told me a boy on the bus called them "<i>annoying</i>" but they said they didn't know what that meant. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Aiden was super excited to have the job of being the weatherman. Ashton was the chair person and it was "<i>annoying</i>." (he had to push in all the chairs). Aiden said, "<i>That's okay Ash, you can be the weatherman some day</i>." Love him and I guess the boy on the bus taught them a new word.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*I look forward to super time when I can ask the boys their favorite part of the day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*While watching the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, the characters were floating in bubbles. Aiden told me he wanted to float in a bubble, to then correct himself and say, "<i>No... I don't want to ride in a bubble because I don't want to get off the Earth.</i>"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*While crossing a bridge, Aiden saw a damn and told me it was a naughty word. He then apologized for saying a naughty word, but it "<i>wasn't naughty because the damn is holding back water."</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Those are just a couple I made note of in my phone. They make me smile each and everyday and they are getting so dang smart!</div>

Last but not least... This weekend we tackled a project the boys have been asking for all summer. Their play set/swing set/tree fort.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gramma and Grampa visited and the Rueber family came to help. I did not have my camera out as one of the days it was pouring and I was in the moment, helping, and let's just face it... not taking pictures. Sorry but not sorry. I will have a picture of some progress this week maybe, or when it is finished. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While Daddy, Dave, and Grampa were building, we took the time to play a game with Gramma and Nana. The boys are super into Hide and Seek lately and playing Memory. They are good! They usually beat me fair and square.</div>

That's all. I know I have more pictures on my phone and we had a blast at the Pheasants Forever kid fun day... but it will take a bit to get them off my phone.</div>

We had two excited little boys getting to shoot guns, climb on things, get dirty, ride horses, and shoot more things (paintball guns, BB gun, and slingshots).</div>

The Shivley Family Reunion took us West to Palmer Gulch Resort near Hill City, South Dakota.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have been looking forward to this trip, as it has been three years since the last time Adam has seen some cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends. The reunion rotates by location depending on which family is organizing the chaos. It is a great time had by all and we look forward to seeing everyone in three more years!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were packed and ready to hit the road as soon as the boys stepped off the ice from practice on Sunday. We dropped their gear at home and continued West. After about 4-5 hours (give or take traffic and rest stops) we pulled in to Sioux Falls just after dinner time. Gramma, Grampa, Missy and the girls were in the pool and swimming was just what we needed to stretch and get some energy out!<br />
As we rolled into Sioux Falls, so did a nasty storm!<br />
It was crazy watching all the cycles coming home from Sturgis in the rain!<br />
No thank you!<br />

Up the next morning and on the road again for the last 5ish hours! If it were up to Adam we could have peed in diapers and ate in the car, however I am glad we were falling Gramma and Grampa and the girls to stop and eat and stretch and use toilets at rest stops!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The boys rode well as each hour or so we had surprises for them. Ninja Turtle busy books, Star Wars coloring pads, new TMNT movies, and more!<br />
Big smile on Adam's face because his driving is done for a couple days!<br />

and a buffalo! I told the kids if they didn't go to bed at night that the buffalo came alive and roamed the halls. Their eyes got huge, but then I had to tell them I was joking.<br />

Once at the resort, what else do we do but sit quietly and play play-do? The boys play it with the girls as they know we don't have it at our house. I can't stand the smell of it, it bothers me when colors get mixed, and I don't want it smeared in my carpet. ;)</div>

We stayed at the Palmer Gulch KOA Resort just 6 minutes away from Mount Rushmore. The Black Hills were BEAUTIFUL! You could choose from staying at the lodge, rustic cabins, or camp. We were in the lodge ;)</div>

After the Door County Trip and stating I was only in 4 pictures, my father in law made it a point to grab either my camera or his and snap some pics. Thanks, but no thanks ;) I HATE pictures of myself and I let him know I edit and upload to the blog so don't feel bad if you still don't see pictures of me ;)</div>

I definitely want to do this trip again in a couple year. It was a beautiful part of the country with a lot to do. It was decided that the next reunion in three years will be in Colorado, so we will be out West again!<br />
<br />
Home for three days, then packed back up and headed to a cabin North. Nothing like sending summer vacation out with a bang!<br />
<br />
Back to work and daycare tomorrow and the boys start 4K next week. Can you believe it?</div>

Something caught my eye one morning in the boys' sandbox. It was a family of turkeys... I had no idea they take sand baths. They were rolling around, standing up and shaking. The boys thought it was pretty cool.</div>

TBall is done. I do have to say we missed about half of the practices due to other commitments, birthday parties, and vacations - but the boys liked it. The last few practices were "games" and it kept the boys' attention more so than just playing catch with dad and practicing hitting. They were super excited to "play a game of baseball."</div>

We celebrated Elle's birthday in Door County, but her friend birthday party was when we got back. Her birthday party started our marathon of parties for the month. The boys were super confused why she had two birthdays and super disappointed that she turned 5 in DC and was turning 6 at her party. Because two parties meant two years older right?!?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was the boy's first party that I dropped them off to party without me! They were super excited and even more excited that the adults were Aunt Missy and Uncle Dave. Are we really at the age of kid only parties? Stop growing up! Missy and Dave are brave! I guess she has experience with that many littles teaching K/1st grade ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What a great looking bunch of kiddos and nice friends Elle has!</div>

Our family had to say good bye to our neighbors recently. We were dreading the time that the Shriner's were moving South for new adventures and we had to say our Good Bye's. We had many talks with the boys to prepare not being able to see Finn and Molly outside every night. As they were packing up and heading for the Sunshine State and warmer weather, we were sad to see them go. </div>

Daddy still tries to take a day off during the week to hang with us. This morning I got a text from a former student that she would be at the water park. The boys met Sara in Punta Cana, she happened to be from Menomonie, and she was in 8th grade last year. How crazy is that? Before leaving for the summer we exchanged numbers because the boys LOVED her so we have tried to meet up a couple times this summer. It was a fun pool day for all and I think I may have found our first "non Nana" babysitter!</div>

Random selfie I found on my phone along with many others... a hockey puck, our cars, Ashton's blanket and every toy in his room. He loves taking pictures right now and steals my phone. I see a camera on his Christmas list. A non iPhone camera that costs $600.00 and not my good camera that costs $1,500.00. Maybe a $50.00 point and shoot would do ;)</div>

Still trying to cross items off our summer bucket list... trail riding by where we used to live to visit the horses.

I was also thinking of doing two Bonnie days this past week to do some special time with one kiddo. Well, that back fired. When I asked Ashton what he wanted to do on a special day with me, he said "Mall of America". Great! But he wanted to do it with his brother... I was hoping for a special 1:1 day, but couldn't argue if he wanted to invite a friend. His friend being his brother. So off we went.</div>

Two kids, no stroller, and me heading to the cities. They were great listeners and it was a super fun day!</div>

I am usually reminded about what we do by looking through my phone pictures and my camera... this time however, I also took notes on my phone. Notes of conversations had with the boys. They are so wise, they know more than anyone gives them credit for, they are growing way too fast, and they just crack me up sometimes. Okay, all the time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Notes I took:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">Two Houses </span>- On our way to Jaxon's house they boys were asking why he lived where he does. I said, :his mommy and daddy chose that place to live." They were fine with that answer, but then asked if they can get another house. I said, "You Bet! Daddy wants a house on the lake up north." Then Aiden added, "good, then You and daddy can have a house and Ashton and I can have a house." Stinker - already trying to get rid of us and move out!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">Smelling rotten milk </span>- While driving through town Aiden was on a roll and telling me "all the disgusting smells through town. He said my car smelled like rotten milk (they haven't drank milk in my car for over 2 years...), he smelled rotten bananas, and the poopy plant. Then randomly he said, "Smell that? It smells like Punta Cana!" Not sure if Punta Cana smelled good or like rotten things, but it's funny he has that memory.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">All grown up </span>- For some reason, anytime we head somewhere the boys ask if I have enough gas. I promise I have never ran out of gas with them, or ever for that matter! While pumping gas, Ashton asked me when he was going to get a credit card to pay for stuff and go shopping. He then asked when he is getting a jeep to drive. This follows a previous conversation with Aiden trying to convince me one night that he should get a cell phone when he turns 5. So is it normal for two 4 year old to ask for credit cards, cars, and cell phone or do we have trouble on our hands?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">Have fun mom</span> - On our way bowling, Ashton asked I was going to bowl too. When I said yes he said, "Oh good. You never do. You just always take pictures." Point taken to put down the camera and enjoy moments with the boys instead of always trying to capture them! I did just that but had to sneak in one picture of all of our matching shoes and so I remembered what we did when I went through the pictures ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There you have it. A summary of Late July and August. Can probably be best summed up with mentioning birthday parties, summer fun, and staying busy!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The pictures are done from our trip to South Dakota. Just give me some time to get the post done. Hopefully soon. No promises! We leave for another vacation Up North with some friends in one day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Going through pictures and this blog post has taken me literally all day (even missing the boys' hockey practice) but taking a break for Football.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hate to even say it, but I am looking forward to our school schedule starting, football season, and the cool fall weather. Yes, I LOVE the fall. My favorite time of year. </div>

<span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">On the road, only for Adam to wonder if he locked the basement door and racking his brain until Chippewa to see what we forgot!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">Looking at the camera, I had 500+ pictures to go through. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">Actually 800+ but I don't think they were ALL Door County!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">Every last load of laundry is done (lost count of how many loads were started... two full days with now rest for the washer and dryer)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">Camper is cleaned out and every last item is put away. *I have this thing with putting things away. I had to clean the pantry totally out before adding the food, I had to clean my closet before putting my clothes away, and while doing laundry I refold all my dresser drawers to properly put everything away. I was adamant that things don't come in the house unless they are to be put in the washer or in it's right spot, right away. Whew... it's all done and put away!</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Storms woke us up earlier than usual and tested us to get the tent down, packed up and on the road home earlier than what we were expecting. Thunder woke us up around 6 am and we were on a sprint to get packed up and "might as well head home." It was nice getting a earlier jump on the arrival home and tackle the mounds of laundry, however we also knew the lawn needed to be mowed. Not just mowed, but since a storm also moved through back home, I had to rake and pick up tons of sticks/little branches in the yard before mowing. Okay - enough complaining... there was a year I remember we came home to a basement full of water so this didn't compare!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am definitely not complaining... because it is ALL WORTH IT. We know it is worth it when we pull into the park, have John Denver playing which is a tradition long standing with Adam but this year it was Ashton requesting it before even pulling into the park! We know it is worth it when we have two boys crying while packing up because they "don't want to go home" and wanted to stay for "a couple more days"!!! We know it's worth it when Aiden said, "it's nice to be home but I miss Door County." The boys loving this place brings tears to Adam's eyes as it is a special place to him as well. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">Going through the 593 pictures of our trip is amazing. Sometimes I think that all the pictures look the same year after year because we often do the same things, but they are worth it. They are worth it because every memory and every smile on the boy's faces is different. Their ages are different and what they remember and find exciting is different. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">On with it...</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">After camp was set up, we made our first voyage to the beach of the year... </span><br />

You'll notice bike helmets in many pictures... the boys just keep it on all day so they don't have to think about it when hopping on their bike. I always tell them - "you have 1 brain to last your whole entire life!!!"<br />

Ashy was being too independent on his bike. The first night at the campsite, he figured out the loop of sites and would take off without telling anyone. After being lost once, we said he needed an adult with him. Do you think he listened? No. His bike was put in the tree for the night after taking off without an adult, and not pulling over for a car. Needless to say he hit the moving car. He was fine, however if you can imagine the surprise of the driver thinking he hit a kid on a bike!<br />

They fished long enough to catch this ugly looking fish. The boys know the name of it, essentially it is not wanted in the lakes so we didn't throw it back. It is a form of a Asian Carp that they don't want in the lakes. Boys - what is it's name? <br />

What happened to June? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What happened to me staying caught up because I have so much extra time in the summer (sarcastic)?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What happened to getting June done before leaving for vacation?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, let's move on. June was busy. Sorting through 856 pictures of June and July has kept me just as busy. Let's get caught up so I can share a County of Door 2015 post!!!</div>

We started June by ending our graduation celebrations. Brenden graduated with Mikayla and his party was the second Saturday in June. He is great with the boys and the boys really like being with Mikayla and Brenden.</div>

The boys gave me a bit of a break - I mean went to summer school for three weeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They were super excited to be in the Deer Room and LOVED it. Ashy's favorite part was lunch and recess (typical response) and Aiden loved seeing all his friends, even if they were in different classrooms. It was Monday - Thursday from 8 until 12:30. It gave us a glimpse of what 4K will bring. They were exhausted most afternoons, which impacted what we were able to do the rest of the day. I am not complaining... I got groceries, ran errands, gym time, appointments done, and me time in the mornings!</div>

After months/years of trying to figure out who was going to fix it... the builder, the concrete people, or Santa, we finally settled with the builders insurance to GET IT DONE.

Two days of jack hammering was not ideal. I swear the pictures were going to fall off the wall and Izzie was going to have a heart attack, but we made it through it. Not a good week for Izzie.

<div style="text-align: center;">
We then walked down by the river to pick out a boat for Daddy and enjoy our new favorite: Ice Cream with a Straw (malts). I like them too because they are cleaner than a cone and don't melt and drip!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

What happened to June?<br />
We started July by heading to Downsville and have some Cubby's pizza. This is special because on July first Uncle Nate and Katie were the new proud owners. I remember going with Nate to help clean the bar when he was in Middle School and I was in 4th grade. Now he and Katie own it and it is by sorts "staying in the family". We look forward to heading South for pizza and rootbeers in the future!<br />

<b>It's already the 4th of July? </b><br />
I feel like the summer begins to slide away after the 4th. We have three vacations planned that definitely will make the rest of the summer fly by.<br />
For the 4th we spent time with friends and on the water. Our two favorite things to do!</div>

We had some conversations about how it was America's Birthday and what it means. We also had talks (over and over and over) about the 13 stripes and the 50 stars on the flag. Curious minds. They want to hear stories over and over right now. </div>

TBall. I don't have many pictures because we have to be on the field with the kiddos. Yes, Adam and I because we have two on the field. ;)<br />
They boys are enjoying it, however we have had to miss a few for some conflicts. Conflicts are fishing, birthday parties, and vacations. We give them the choice and they don't always pick Tball. Miss hockey? <b>NEVER</b>, by their choice.<br />
Tball is okay. It's a lot of standing on the field and doing what we do every night with the boys in our yard: play catch and practice hitting it off the T. However, at practice you need to wait for the <i>entire </i>team to hit. At home you only need to take turns with your brother to hit ;)</div>

At the Oakwood Mall they have some Huge Stuffed animals that the kids can ride on. It was funny to watch them cruise around the mall on them. Thank goodness they know how to drive! They giggled the entire time... until the Lion stuck on and they couldn't stop it. Aiden had to keep making circles until we got it to shut off. The only problem, they aren't allowed in the stores, so Nana and I had to trade off - but they are fun for a quick errand.</div>

Leaving the wedding we were at the truck when John Denver came on. Adam said we left one song too early... then Ashton says:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"Dad I love you. Don't ever let me die. I don't want you to ever be dead."</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"Don't let me down dad."</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"Mom - you let me down. Mom - you let me down, we should have stayed for one more song."</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Where did that come from?</div>

This is a typical night at our house. If Ashton and Aiden aren't in the basement shooting pucks, they are playing baseball in the yard or riding bike. They can't just play baseball... they need the WHOLE UNIFORM. Sometimes I think Ashy is more concerned with how he looks than how he plays. Oh Boy!</div>

Did I forget to say hockey too? Yes, Hockey starting back up in May. The boys LOVED hockey and it was done in March for the season. They wake up every morning asking to go to hockey... so we found a summer league in Eau Claire. The are playing for The Bucks. It's once a week on Sundays and they love it. They have two other friends from Menomonie which is also fun.</div>

I'm sure I am forgetting something as I have pictures on my phone, Adam sends me pictures, and I take them off my camera every week. If it wasn't for the photos, I would have no clue what we did and I would never remember it all. Thanks goodness for my camera and smart phones!</div>

If you are just checking back in, look for the April post. I am trying hard to get caught up and back to weekly posts. This catching up stuff and recapping months is too difficult!</div>

Where did the spring go? We are busy busy busy with many things going on. Adam gets very busy in the spring with lawn and garden season, my spring was busy with transitioning my current students to 9th grade (high school) and greeting my incoming 6th graders for next fall. The boys' activities are starting and we are constantly on the move! Enough about is... let's share some pictures of what we did in April!</div>

Thanks for continuing to check back for updates... I know I was stuck on the Easter post for quite a while... too long.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have all my pictures organized and will work hard to sum up May and our start to June. We are officially on summer break, the days are getting longer but we are not slowing down one bit. However, the boys start summer school next week so I may have some spare time on my hands to get caught up! Maybe. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Check back soon for May and June. Then I hopefully will get back to my weekly posts. ;)</div>

March seemed to come and go. I'm not even sure if it came in like a lion or lamb... and how it left!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If I remember right, we had some beautiful weather and even saw some 60 degrees!</div>

Alumni Volleyball usually falls on the weekend of my birthday. This year it fell on the day before my birthday. So much fun to get the group of high school friends together for a day of volleyball and then some drinks after.</div>

We had a Menomonie graduate and district staff member pass away from a car accident the week before, so there was a lot of support for the family and community. Every team wore the number 22 in some capacity to honor Mr. Bauer. #BauerPower</div>

We for sure felt the burn, and we definitely felt OUR AGE. We were the second oldest team playing. <br />

After our exercise, we went out to watch the Badger game (they won) and had some birthday shots. So much fun seeing the crew from high school. I didn't get a group shot of the night out ;(<br />
It's such a special event, Becky flies home from LA. Either that or her parents just get her to come home to see her ;) <br />

Last Thursday, I was able to sneak out of work for a hour and surprise the boys at their Easter Party at school. It is so much fun to see them interact with their teachers and classmates. We are so thankful for this opportunity at our church and Adam being able to provide the transportation twice a week for the last two years. The boys love it and will be better adjusted for 4K.<br />

Thursday night the boys wanted to dye eggs. They weren't too crazy about eating the hard boiled eggs though.<br />

Saturday morning we tried the Lion's Club Easter Egg hunt. My mom was hesitant in joining us due to some bad memories when we were kids. She had memories of parents running over toddlers to get their child to the eggs, and some even picking up their child to run to the eggs. I was apprehensive with Ashton being disappointed in not getting many and Aiden getting too competitive. Off we went to try...<br />

All lined up and ready to run. Being 4 years old, I thought the parents were at the starting line just to stand with their children. NOPE... when the horn rang PARENTS ran their children to the eggs. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I stayed back by the fence and was amazed at the competitiveness of the parents and the helicopters flying around (joke about parenting styles). Anyway, ranting aside they boys had a blast, they were more than appreciative of what they got, they shared with each other to make their eggs even, and they even gave some of their eggs to a little girl who only got one. That made my day. <br />

Saturday night we packed up our swimming gear and headed to Gramma and Grampa's house to swim at their pool ... I mean the hotel. We swam, ate pizza and headed home to cheer on the Badgers (they won).<br />

After church we headed to the Rueber's for another egg hunt and lunch! Talk about being competitive. Put three cousins (born 6 months apart) together all running in the same direction and see who throws an elbow first (Aiden) or who wipes out first (Ashton). Elise had the right idea... go the opposite direction of all the older kids and then trail behind them and get all the ones they are blowing past trying to out run each other.<br />

April Showers Bring May Flowers... What do Mayflowers bring? Pilgrims.<br />
<br />
Happy 18th Birthday to Mikayla who celebrated on the 4th of this month.<br />
Happy Birthday to Uncle Nate who turns ______ this coming Saturday!<br />

Let's hope April doesn't fly as fast as March did!<br />

Suitcases are unpacked, laundry is done, and 800 pictures are downloaded and sorted. We have been home for two weeks now, so I suppose it's time to get this post done! <br />
<br />
Last year Adam and I traveled to Mexico without the boys. Everyday we missed them and agreed how much fun it would be for them to start experiencing our travels with us. This was the year to take them. We got them their passports last Fall and since then, they have talked about "Punta Cana" not even knowing what to expect. This year marked a special occasion and a once in a lifetime opportunity for a trip. We knew we wanted to travel with the boys, we knew we wanted to invite family since the last time we traveled together was7 years ago to Jamaica, and Mikayla is a senior.<br />
<br />
Adam and I have been to Mexico quite a few times in the past years and we knew we wanted to go back to an island. I can't say enough about Punta Cana and the Dominican Republic. It was beautiful, the resort was amazing, and the water was to die for. Besides the 5 hour flight down / 7 hour flight back and running into a couple obnoxious spring breakers at the resort, it was short of amazing and the best trip ever.<br />
<br />
Enough talking... the pictures will speak for themselves! Way too many pictures... but great memories I have to share.<br />
The boys' first time flying... they were good little travelers. We started our morning out at 5:00 a.m.<br />

We immediately had our room moved when we first arrived. We were smack dab in the middle of college/high school central. The music was pounding and there were drunk kids EVERYWHERE. Our resort was huge and there were three pools. The one pool that was the college hangout happened to be right outside our poolside room. NOT HAPPENING! We were moved to the quieter side of the resort for a 800 dollar upgrade (at no charge) but this was our view.<br />

Adam made a funny face when I said a bag of sand toys was going to be my carry on. Who goes to the beach for 7 days with no toys? The boys LOVED the beach.<br />

We rented a boat and went snorkeling on the Caribbean side. The waves were bigger by our resort because we were on the Atlantic side. The Caribbean side was calmer, but the beaches had a lot of seaweed. We rented the boat all for ourselves and so glad we did it this way. We also had our own photographer so the following pictures came from him. We got a disc with over 200 of our day trip!<br />

We stopped at a enclosed place in the ocean to swim with a shark and sting ray. I was disappointed that they were in cages. When Adam and I did it in the Cayman Islands it was more ethical and the sting rays came in naturally when fed, not in a cage. ;(<br />

We stood on a platform while they brought them up to us, then we got to go to the other side and swim freely with them.<br />

Elly and Price held the shark. Now a little disclaimer... it was a sucker shark. Not a great white. You'll see it's mouth in the next picture. BUT nevertheless, the boys WILL tell you they swam with a shark. ;)<br />

One morning, Adam stayed with the boys so Nate, Elly, Price, Kayla and I could go zip-lining. It was a hour drive through some small towns to the mountains. It reminded us we were in a third world country, but great to see the diversity, countryside and culture. Mikayla wore the go-pro on her helmet and we have some awesome video... but no pictures. No way was I going to carry my camera!<br />

A Spanish soccer team wanted their picture with the boys... many people actually wanted the boys in a picture. Many were curious about "the twins". A couple then put their drinks down to play some soccer with the boys.<br />

The main language was Spanish. The boys watched cartoons nightly that we in Spanish and only commented once that the Curious George song "was different". Adam watched it for a half hour before realizing it was in Spanish. Maybe he was resting or the drinks were getting to him ;) <br />

All week there were photographers taking pictures around the resort. They yelled at me if I tried to take some pictures with my own camera... so of course we <i>had</i> to buy some...<br />

So long Punta Cana. <br />
Ashton said to me the other night...<br />
"Mom, I love our home... But when do we go back to Punta Cana?"<br />
<br />
Soon... I hope. Very Soon.</div>

Will things really slow down once hockey is done? Will we really have more time when we aren't at the rink two nights a week and at Jamborees on Saturdays? Will the boys have tons of extra energy and miss hockey? Will we move right into spring, getting outside, and playing baseball?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Questions. I have questions, but not so sure we will know all the answers. I don't think there is such a thing as "more time." However, we are looking forward to more daylight and warmer weather.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining about hockey. Hockey has been an amazing experience for Ashton and Aiden. Watching their coordination grow, their skills improve, watching them interact with other players, other coaches, and watch the Minnesota Wild every morning and night on the DVR has been enjoyable. Adam and I have met some great families through hockey and have gotten closer to other families we already knew.<br />
<br />
When the boys were asked if they were excited for hockey to be done or sad... Aiden said, "We're not done, we are playing summer hockey." News to me buddy! Since the last practice on Sunday night, they have been outside or downstairs every night shooting pucks. So speaking for them... yes they are going to miss it.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">IS HOCKEY HARD? "I don't know, you tell me. We need to have the strength and power of a football player, the stamina of a marathon runner, and the concentration of a brain surgeon. But we need to put all this together while moving at high speeds on a cold and slippery surface while 5 other guys use clubs and try to kill us, oh yeah did I mention that this whole time we're standing on blades 1/8 of an inch thick? <b>Is hockey hard? </b> I don't know, you tell me... next question." </span><br />

We hosted 5 teams for our last jamboree the last weekend of February. A great way to finish our season. <br />

What am I going to blog about with hockey done and Mikayla's dancing done?<br />
<br />
Well. I'm caught up. I am feeling like I can go on vacation now ;)<br />
<br />
Happy Spring Break. Happy Warmer Weather. Happy March.<br />
<br />
I posted the birthday post that has been on my shoulders the last couple months. Look at the previous post if you haven't read it yet!<br />

Four years ago... we were getting ready to welcome two new babies into our family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Four years ago... Izzie had no idea that her quiet life as she knew it would change forever.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Four years ago... we had two little boys that couldn't wait until their due date to meet the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Four years ago... we welcomed our sons to our family and everything changed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY ASHTON ALAN& AIDEN JAMES!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There were nights of exhaustion, survival, pride, family helping, and merely existing. There were also nights that Adam and I signed a peace treaty and vowed to not talk as we had nothing good to say through the exhaustion and sometimes frustrations. The nights that my mom would stay over so Adam and I could go in the basement and watch a movie and sleep the through the entire night. The nanny and family that helped every week so we could keep the boys out of daycare their first year. I never thought of how difficult it was, until this past weekend when a friend was talking about statistics of divorce and families with multiples having higher divorce rates. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is no way. No way that Adam and I could have done it alone, without each other and without help of family and friends. I have been going through all my past blog posts and although it took extra time on Sunday nights, I missed some posts, and sometimes I had nothing to write about. It is our memories shared with family and friends and hopefully read someday by Ashton and Aiden. It is my journal. I look back and can't believe we spent 5 weeks in the NICU. Sometimes it feels like just yesterday, sometimes it feels like a vague dream. I look back and smile at the times I had my camera out and took pictures of what I thought was nothing, but now I have memories of the boys first crawling, interacting with each other, cuddling with daddy on any given night, and what we did for most every single week of their lives. I am amazed at how much they have grown, but ultimately they will always be my little boys. Our little boys who had no hair until they were 8 months old. Our little boys who have always had their best friend right by their side and their worst enemy to always compete with. Our boys who are so lucky to have so many adults who care about them. Looking through the blog, I am constantly reminded how lucky we are to have close cousins.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Cousins are ready made friends for life."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Friends may be FOREVER but Cousins are for LIFE."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some key words that sum up our two four-year olds:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are <b>different</b>. I met another mother of 5 year-old twins this past weekend at a hockey tournament and I thought she was describing Ashton and Aiden when talking about her sons. Ashton is emotional and more sensitive. He is especially sensitive when he is tired. Ashton needs more sleep and still needs his nap most every day. He cries, whines, and melts down when he is tired. Aiden is pretty much a non-napper. He will look out for his brother, but also knows when Ashton is tired and tries to push his buttons. Aiden is sensitive to Ashton's needs and looks out for him when he is getting in trouble or thinks things aren't fair or if Ashton is hurt. Aiden prefers the same kind of cereal every morning (just like his dad) - Fruit Loops. Ashton prefers to change things up (just like his mom) with toast, eggs, mini-muffins, yogurt, waffles, or oatmeal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The prefer to dress <b>similar </b>right now. I know when they were first born, I was adamant of not dressing them identical, but coordinating. Looking through most pictures you will notice they are matching and that is by their choice and convenience for me. I would much rather them dress different, but they choose even similar underwear. They will even problem solve by splitting pairs of socks and being mismatching so they can both be the same. I bought them Zach Parise shirts for their birthday and we get by being different (one is green and one is red) by trading shirts half way through the day. It's convenient for me as they wear it together, I wash it together, fold it together, and put it in the drawers together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They love <b>Hockey.</b> Hence the theme of their birthday party this year. We incorporated the hockey theme with the Mustang colors and the Minnesota Wild colors. They can't wait for nights of hockey practice and beg to do open skate after. They skate on the outdoor rink whenever they can and use our pond often. If they aren't playing hockey outside, they want to "shoot pucks" in the basement. If they aren't playing hockey, they want to watch hockey either on TV or go to Brigs and Blais' games. We have several Wild games DVR'd for the nights and mornings there isn't a game on, just so they can watch it. They know most Wild players, their numbers, and the watch for their favorites (Parise, Koivu, and Dubnyk) to score or make a save. Bonus - watching hockey has taught them their numbers this winter. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are <b>active</b>. We are feeling cabin fever with not getting outside. This is also where hockey practice has been a nice outlet for unused energy. Aiden sits and watches movies a little bit better than Ashton, but unless they are sleeping - there is always movement. While they still wrestle with each other, they are playing with each other more and more. They build forts, shoot pucks, play dinosaurs, do puzzles, play 'Trouble and matching games, and race cars. I also hear a lot of "puppy play" where one pretends to be a puppy and the other is the owner or the daddy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They have many <b>interests</b>. Dinosaurs, Star Wars, Hockey, "shooting pucks", Baseball, Football, Legos, and recently Aiden has really take to his stuffed animals.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They <b>eat</b> a lot. If I were to rename Ashton, his name would be "I'm Hungry." Not 10 minutes after supper he tells us his belly is hungry. Aiden will eat a bowl of cereal before bed, sometimes two while Ashton has started eating a full bowl of oatmeal before bed; then again for breakfast.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are <b>Best Friends</b>. We have turned a corner where they can be left unattended in the basement or their rooms and play. Don't get me wrong... they still fight. Just not as much.<br />
<br />
The morning of their birthday, we let them open one of their presents. They were excited to wear their new Parise shirt to school!<br />

For Valentine's Nana had two special boys sleep over. She had treats for them when they got there. Aiden has always wanted a "clock". Ashy likes his, even though it doesn't look like it. He is goofy taking pictures lately. He won't smile or look half the time.</div>

While the boys were at Nana's, Adam and I took in a Wild game with some friends. Suzie and Tucker's son plays hockey with the boys and we felt like we were cheating on our children while enjoying a game. The boys weren't too disappointed as we brought them home some new cups (empty beer cups) and the rosters. ;)</div>

Last Thursday was "Bring a Friend to School Day." Gramma surprised the boys with a special visit. I was able to pop in for about 10 minutes too. So much fun! </div>

Thursday night we watched Blais play his last game of the season with the high school team. They lost their first playoff game which was a bummer. This past weekend the boys were playing in the basement and I heard them pretending to be Parise and Koivu (Wild) and then in the same game they were pretending to be Blais and Brigs. I wonder if Blais and Brigs know who they are being compared to? ;) "And Parise Scores... And Blais scores... Hey Parise pass it to me, okay Brigs." </div>

The boys L.O.V.E Hockey. They more than love hockey. I was questioning when to start them and if both sessions would be too long. But when they wake up every day begging to go to hockey, we know we made the right decision. Ashton still sleeps with his hockey stick and they ask to go downstairs every night to shoot pucks. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We DVR the Minnesota Wild so there is always a game at our finger tips. One day Ashton stayed home with a fever and we watched the Minnesota Wild loose to the Blackhawks three times. It was the same game each time and he was equally upset with each time they lost. ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They know the Wild players by their numbers and faces. What a great way to teach them numbers this winter! We started out having to point out where each player was and now they know the numbers, names and faces so they can tell me where each player is. The only thing they don't quite understand, is why Blais doesn't play with the Minnesota Wild. He is a celebrity in their book. WE go to the Varsity games to watch him, and the night the Mustangs joined the boys on the ice, they were in heaven. I may have went overboard with the pictures, but that's the benefit of having everything digital and not having to process film! We literally had two little boys in heaven, and they thought they were pretty special. I also maybe took a lot of pictures because Adam was in Dallas and missed it ;)</div>

Blais and Mikko Koivu are both number 9. We have two boys that argue who can be #9. We have solved the dilemma with one being 9 and one being 6 (an upside down 9). Lately though they have thrown number 11 into the mix... Zach Parise.</div>

Chase played with the boys too. Later that night as I was tucking Ashton into bed he said, "Blais and that number three guy were fun to play hockey with!"</div>

Hockey has really made the winter go fast. We can't believe there is three weeks left and then hopefully spring will arrive so we can get outside with our bats and gloves to play baseball!</div>

Happy Valentine's Day! Adam and I snuck away to a Wild game with some friends, and no kids. Our boys play hockey together so we all thought we were cheating on our kids! It was a great night out, good company, Parise scored, and the WILD won. I just told Ashton today that is where we went last night while they stayed at Nana's. He didn't seem too disappointed, but he did say he wanted to go next time. As I type this, we have already been to hockey practice, home for supper and they went to shoot pucks in the basement while I made supper, and now they went with Adam back to open skate. And I thought about not starting them this year or thought both sessions would get too long for them? I told you they L.O.V.E. it.</div>

Because Menomonie Youth Hockey bought so many tickets for the group, they got some private Minnesota Wild ice time the week after. For our Sunday practice, on January 17th we headed to the Xcel Energy Center. It was such a great day for the boys. When we were pulling in, Aiden was a bit disappointed that we weren't going to Zach Parise's house, but he got over it.</div>

Happy February! Adam and I celebrated our 6th anniversary yesterday! He spent the day at work, I spent the day at State High School Dance, and the boys spent the day with the Rueber's. With hockey bright and early this morning, we had a family anniversary lunch today at Cancun's. Oh how things change... but I'm not complaining! Adam is still giving me grief about getting up and enjoying the mornings with him. That is one thing he asked of me during our pre-wedding couples meetings with the pastor. I am so not a morning person! I told him yesterday that I gave him two beautiful boys to get up and enjoy the mornings with him... while I sleep in. That works right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Spring is just around the corner right!?!?</div>

All about hockey...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay, maybe not all about hockey but this has to do with skating!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Taking advantage of another Winter Break day, the girls cam over to go sledding. They brought their skates that they got from Santa too! Their fist time on the ice... and we got to be a part of it! It was hard to get pictures as we had four kiddos to get gear and skates on, two brand new skaters, two skaters getting used to the pond ice, and only two adults. By the time they were all dressed and ready, the first kiddo started to get cold. ;) *Notice the color of Elise's nose.</div>

Adam flooded the ice to try and even it out. It may need a couple more floods, but it is great to have this so close to our house. It's definitely different from skating on ice that the Zamboni makes perfect, but they got used to it after about 10 minutes.</div>

January third we had a Jamboree/Scrimmage in Amery. The boys played two games back to back for a total of two hours. They were exhausted after getting up at 6:15 to be there by 8:00! So much fun to watch them. At times they play together on the same line, and other times they play separate. At one time when they were out there together Aiden passed it to Ashton down the ice and he caught it. This is a pretty big deal for the level they play ;) Okay, not really just fun to watch. They definitely do pay attention to each other on the ice and find each other.</div>

Today we took the boys' hockey experience to the next level. We took them to their first Minnesota Wild game. They sit on the couch and watch the Wild, and we record the games because they ask to watch them even when they aren't playing. This past Friday, Ashton was sick and I stayed home with him. They love finding their favorite player, Zack Parise, on the ice. We watched them get beat by the Blackhawks... twice... in a row... for how every many hours. Hopefully we can get a game recorded where they win. That's more fun to watch over...and over.<br />
<br />
MYHA had some group tickets for the LTS and Mite skaters. We originally turned them down thinking the boys were a bit too young and we would be battling them to sit still. We changed our mind when a family of 4 was trying to sell their tickets last week. The boys were SUPER excited.<br />
We got there early and went right down by the ice. The coolest thing - with buying the number of tickets the group did, they get free ice time. The boys will be skating at the Excel Energy Center in a week for their hockey practice. They will change in their locker rooms and be on the same ice as Zack Parise. They are pretty excited!</div>

Christmas came up fast! I guess I should listen to my mom when she tells me in January that "Christmas will be here again before you know it." I believe I even remember her telling us in July that it was "only six months away!" With all the hype around Christmas and the boys building their lists for two months, I was really nervous they wouldn't feel let down for all they didn't get! I really want it to be about the magic of the holidays, spirit of the season and also giving to others.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We made a plate of treats for Bonnie and Tim and all their friends. We also buy a toy all the kids can use there. Ashton and Aiden are really taking to wanting to write and this was done all on their own. You'll notice Aiden's "N" fell below the rest, so Ashton just used his. I give so much credit to the teachers who teach handwriting. Aiden is a perfectionist and this must have been the 7th envelope we went through before he was happy with his A. Ashton doesn't really care so much. ;) Aiden is also really taking an interest in number expression. "If I scored two goals and Ashton scored two goals, that is four all together." He is into counting everything and adding groups together. So much fun to see the light turn on and making progress in their learning. </div>

After dinner (more than just the weenies) we couldn't hold these two boys off the presents much longer! It was all about the kids this year as we didn't buy for each other. My family is taking a trip in March, so we are focusing on that being a gift in itself - the last time we all traveled together was 7 years ago when we went to Jamaica. </div>

Before bed we had to say good by to Chippy/Scout. He would leave with Santa when he comes. The boys were kind of sad and said they would miss him. Ashton didn't want him to go, so I said we could take this picture and he can keep it in his room until we see him again next year.</div>

By Chippy/Scout! *The boys used both names interchangeably. Izzie also though he was fun to move around if he was on the floor, which horrified the boys. "He'll loose his magic!!!" So maybe next year we'll keep him up and out of her reach and give him a real consistent name?!?!</div>

Aiden woke up so early the next morning, it was still dark so he just cruised past into our room. He sprints across the house to come to our room is he gets up... so Adam got him back to bed without seeing the presents.

Super nervous about one being disappointed in asking for different things and indeed getting different things, but the best part was seeing them both excited and hearing them say, "We got different things so now we can both share!!!"</div>

We played a Christmas Day game in the basement... all being safe and covering our heads. The way the boys swing their sticks and the speed they hit the pucks we may need full gear for playing in the basement. Yes - the windows are covered with styro-foam and wood!</div>

Friday afternoon made our way to Oconto Falls for another Christmas celebration! We were eager to get to Gramma and Grampa's as it's a long ride for the boys (3 1/2 hours). When we pulled up Aiden said, "it's okay we aren't at the hotel, he could go swimming in Gramma and Grampa's pool some other time." I don't know how many times Ashton said he LOVED their house. The girls and Missy and Dave came a bit later. Story time before bed!</div>

In other news, the pond finally froze over. We had some pretty warm weather and then it turned nasty cold! While Daddy was clearing off the rink, the boys played some boot hockey.</div>

Adam's friend/coworker had this goal for his son. He is grown and moved out of the house so he took it all apart, repainted it, and gave it to us. They are pretty lucky to have a regulation size hockey goal on their pond!</div>

I have one more post to get caught up on and that will take me through this week! Please me looking for that soon... whew. Will I have more time when hockey is done, or is this just a glimpse of a different kind of busy we will be as the boys get older?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Where to even start. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's overwhelming when I download the pictures from my camera and I have 400 of them. I guess that's what I get for letting the time pass and having two hockey tournaments, Christmas, and life happening! I will start with our first Christmas Program and our First Jamboree. In attempts to get caught up, the Christmas post will follow shortly as well as the Amery Jamboree. Keep checking back, but give me a couple days!</div>

We said good bye to Chippy / Scout. The boys never did decide or stick to a name! They started out calling him Scout, but ended calling him Chippy. Let's see who returns next year... </div>

We had seen Santa while cutting Christmas Trees, Santa visited one night at hockey... but we still had to do the classic mall visit and mall picture. The boys kinda looked like rag-a-muffins but that's okay. They look so big! Ashton consistently asked for a Polar Express train and before this visit, Aiden was consistent with asking for a remote control dinosaur. UNTIL this visit. He asked for a snowmobile. Nothing like changing it up!</div>

We finally had the chance to get to one of Brigs' hockey games. They boys were his biggest fans and waited for him to come out of the locker room. Cute.</div>

Hockey is in full swing and the boys are loving it. To say they love it is a understatement! With Ashton having reservations in the beginning of the season... we were second guessing our choice to start them. Well - he has done a complete 360. Before he would cry and show anxiety to get on the ice, and now he cries when practice is over. He wakes up every morning asking if he has hockey practice and e.v.e.r.y night he asks to go downstairs and shoot pucks with Adam.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They had their first taste of a game when we traveled to their first Jamboree in Baldwin. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's fun watching them on the ice. Sometimes they are in their own little world, but often times they find each other on the ice... if I could only know what they say to each other!</div>

They played three on three and worked against each other. Some talking points before next time are:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Don't take the puck from your brother or teammates.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Know what net to score in</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To their defense... when we scrimmage at practice and at home, they do take the puck from their teammates and each other. We also haven't really worked on offense, defense, and knowing which goal to score in since they don't play against goalies yet.</div>

The Sunday before Christmas the boys had their first Christmas program. Practicing, practicing, and practicing... O Little Town of Bethlehem and Miracle in the Manger. We sang it nightly, we sang it in the car, we sang it in the bath, and while going to the bathroom. The day of the performance came and Ashy was a no show at the dress rehearsal. At the time this picture was taken, he saw us and started crying. I had to take him to get a drink, a cookie, to the bathroom, and then sat with him and his class for a couple minutes. I wasn't surprised he would have some anxiety about the morning.</div>

We were all eager to hear them sing! Ashton made it up with his Sunday School class, but was on the verge of tears the entire time. Aiden was confident, but didn't really sing. A priceless moment was when Aiden took Ashton's arm and told him it was going to be okay. Ahhhhh.</div>

The Christmas pictures are ready to go... however my bed is calling. You would have thought having a "Cold Day" today would have given me plenty of time to get caught up?!?! Nope. I'm still organizing closets and going through old toys and books to make room for the new. Hockey was canceled tonight because of the cold... Isn't hockey supposed to be a cold sport? I get it, it just makes for a long day being STUCK indoors!</div>

I cannot believe it is December already! We manage to stay busy and with hockey, I think the winter is going to fly by. I still have Thanksgiving to get caught up on!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The boys got a special "book" in the mail. They said, "Thanks mom and dad for the book with my picture in it!" The are excited to go to the Dominican Republic with us for Spring Break... it seems a long way out, but it will be here before we know it!</div>

The one and only picture I took on Thanksgiving. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We hosted the second annual Larsen/Rueber/Kimmel/Wamboldt Thanksgiving. Everyone bring something and it goes really smooth. The nice part is that Adam can sneak away for work (had to go in Thanksgiving night by 6 this year) and everyone can stay and enjoy themselves. We are hoping that SEARS corporate doesn't see good number so they will stop with the Thanksgiving night sales!</div>

Speaking of Thanksgiving Sales - we found a couple on Black Friday. Mom and I had to miss last year, but this year we hit the boutiques on a mission. Maybe we could have fit one more bag in the back of the car... </div>

Ashton has turned a huge corner in the area of confidence. Since about Thanksgiving he has been more confident and it's not even a battle getting him on the ice. I had to do a practice without Adam right before Thanksgiving and he got right on, he had to do a practice without his favorite coach, and since then he hasn't flinched on bit about participating. We were thinking he wouldn't do second session, but now he wakes up every morning asking if he can go to hockey practice.</div>

Having to go so far back, I am sure I am missing some great blog-worthy material - however I pretty much rely on my camera to remind us what we have done! However, I have been enjoying some time and activities not being strapped to my camera and looking at life through the lens.</div>

Let's do a SNOW dance for some snow to be in the forecast. I wouldn't mind a snow day, or at least a White Christmas! Not a muddy, foggy, sloppy Christmas.</div>

We definitely have been keeping busy. If we aren't at hockey, we are trying to find other things to do. Bundling up and heading outside to play is in more of Dad's department. I try to find indoor activities!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Two weeks ago, we spent Friday night bowling. They had fun in the arcade playing air-hockey and bowling with Daddy. Aiden had randomly been asking to go bowling and telling people we were going since the end of summer, so I guess it was time to have a Family Date Night.</div>

That Saturday, we headed out to the Mall Of America. The last time Nana went there was a Dinosaur store she wanted to take the boys to. Little did we know that after getting there and searching for this store - it closed. So... we made use of our time and visited the Disney store. They were in Star Wars heaven and Planes Fire and Rescue. We were taking pictures of all the stuff for their Christmas and Birthday lists. *I have found that taking pictures of what they want satisfies them to not have to buy it AND they can look through the pictures on my phone once we get home. Win, Win.</div>

We had a special lunch at the Rainforest Cafe. We though ahead this time and made a reservation, otherwise the line is a crazy long wait! We were seated right by a fish aquarium and the gorillas. Ashton wasn't too sure about the "storms" that passed through, but after the first one he made sure to tell Nana and I that it was fake!</div>

A sneak peak at the hockey pictures that were taken. Ashton is still hot and cold with having the confidence to participate in practice with the coaches. To get him in the team picture I had to go on the ice with him... the plus side to that is I snapped a couple pictures with my phone. I also helped the photographer and slide some kiddos into place ;) The kids needed their helmets to get to the net, we took them off for the picture, and then they had to stay seated until we got their helmets all back on... safety first! </div>

Today they had a special day at the rink. They opened the ice for two hours for those that were orphaned, widowed, or left behind by the hunters. We weren't left behind by a hunter, but Adam has been working some long hours gearing up for Black Friday and the Holiday Season. I took the boys to skate and it was a chore! Thankfully Nana was able to help me get them dressed and they trusted me to tie their skates tight enough. They thought it was fun to have the free time with pucks and sticks AND I could be on the ice. Ashton didn't want to leave when it was time to get off the ice. Now if he would only go out with his coaches!</div>

Blogging is getting more and more difficult on Sundays with hockey. Our Sundays are pretty scheduled out and no longer are they really "A Day of Rest!" We get up and go to church and Sunday school, head home for a little play and then lunch. Then it's important that the boys get a good nap in and we are off to the skating rink. The last couple weeks we have grabbed supper after practice and we head back to the rink for open skate. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ashton has has a little anxiety about skating "without his Daddy" so we have been using open skate as a reward. If he gets through practice with the coaches and his teammates, he then gets to do open skate with his Daddy. After a practice of crying, then a couple practices choosing not to put on his gear or get on the ice, he now can't wait to get on the ice with his coaches to show them his hard work practicing with Daddy. I'll do my best to continue to snap pictures, however with hockey twice a week that may be the only pictures I have some week ;)</div>

In other news... this past week was HALLOWEEN!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The holidays are getting more and more exciting with some traditions that we can create and the boys really getting into what is going on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Carving pumpkins with Mikayla is one thing we look forward to. I look forward to it because she helps with the icky stuff, and I can just stand back and roast the seeds!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
With Ashton hesitant getting on the ice, he was looking forward to the dry-land portion of the practice. They work on agility skills and strength training. I would say it was more like trying to control 35 little kids all running around with hockey sticks... scary! It was fun to see Ashton participate, although he had about two minutes of anxiety once he noticed he was in a different group than his brother. He got over it.</div>

Aiden has done a great job getting on the ice, working hard, and listening to his coaches. He also has done a great job trying to encourage his brother and make sure he is okay. Here is a pep talk they were having... too cute.</div>

The mad rush for the ice. It usually ends up with a pile of kids all laying on the ice right by the door. Waiting for practice to start and the zamboni to get off the ice is part of what gives Ashton anxiety... more time to think about not wanting to do it!</div>

It's amazing the progress they have made in the last couple weeks. They went from spending more time laying on the ice to being able to get up on their own and spend more time on their feet!</div>

Last Wednesday, the parents all brought a bag of candy for the coaches to throw on the ice. Ashton was sad he would miss it if he wasn't out there, so it was just enough of a push to get him to participate in practice. He did GREAT and he was so proud of himself. He made it through practice AND got to pick up candy. They idea was to keep their gloves on to make it a challenge, but as you can imagine... that didn't last long!</div>

One pretty proud kiddo. He was excited he did it and he is looking forward to the next practice (which he participated in and could wait to get onto the ice). He has some pretty great coaches to continue to encourage him. He is our child that needs a little more reassurance and may be anxious. We questioned if we started him too early or if he just didn't want to do it. However, he is our child that watches Mighty Ducks on repeat, sleeps with his hockey stick, and needs his hockey gear to come to school and Bonnie's with him to stay in Daddy's truck.</div>

After walking in our neighborhood and going "Trunk-or-Treating" in a local church parking lot, we visited two other important friends. Char and Jerry spoiled the kiddos and Elly and Price wanted to see them too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Price and Elly were getting ready for their own Halloween fun. The boys are already telling me what they want to be for next year and I am already making the candy disappear to my classroom and Adam's work ;)</div>

On Sundays, we do double time and stay for open skate. Yes, we all get on the ice. Ashton can skate faster than me and Aiden doesn't fall as much as me, but it's fun. I don't really fall - I just don't go fast because I don't know how to stop on hockey skates. I'm used to my "toe pick" on old figure skates. Dad is having fun getting his feet back underneath him and polishing the rust off his old skills.</div>

Let's get right to it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There were two things the boys were REALLY looking forward to this week...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Homecoming Parade and HOCKEY!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another thing they watched this week, was the dump trucks. We have been waiting since April to have the lot filled next door that we bought and s.l.o.w.l.y but surely it is getting done. They boys love having a front row seat to the action. They pulled up their chairs in Ashton's room one day...</div>

On this day, they were REALLY close to the action. Look closely and you will see two little boys standing fearlessly by the dirt pile!</div>

Friday was the homecoming parade. We had two little boys counting down "sleeps". Not sure if it's the joy of the parade or the candy thrown at them...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After the parade we at at Ted's Pizza (Teddies) and then headed to the game. When we first arrived Ashton was pretty excited to see the 'Sconsin Badgers playing (Chippewa was red, white and black). If Ashton though he was watching the Badgers and we didn't have to drive to Madison OR score a ticket to the game, he can think whatever he wants. Any high school in the area green and gold? He could think he's at a Packer game too! The boys stayed until half time and then headed home with Nana. Menomonie won against Chippewa as the night turned chilly! </div>

It was comical at times watching the struggles and the kids flopping all over the ice.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The boys thought it was WAY COOL that Brigs and Blais came to watch and cheer them on!</div>

After practice, the boys wanted to watch the "big boys" skate and watch the Zamboni.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a great first practice! The boys have been really excited for many weeks now so naturally Adam and I were nervous to see if they would really like it, be nervous, or not want to do it.</div>

We put two tired little boys to bed tonight at 7:30 telling us they were "real hockey players now" and we have to go watch Brigs and Blais play because they came to watch them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love our friends and family and the many new friends and families we will meet through the hockey program.</div>
