A picture update!

An update via pictures!

We've been experimenting with a lot of homemade foods lately. Last week we (mostly Nate, but I helped! :P) made homemade tortillas, and fresh pasta. Yesterday Nate tried his hand at Shepherd's Bread (first bread making experience for him!), and it turned out awesome.

We signed the kids up for the library's summer reading program, and they got these t-shirts. (silly faces sold separately)

Annika got some cute, tiny "clippies" for her birthday from Charli and Aren, she loooves them.

The face (above) reminds me of my "Chubby chipmunk" picture lol.

Annika escaped the house with Thor yesterday (with no clothes on!).
Looking out the window, we noticed she had made herself perfectly comfortable.. on the driveway.

Notice the silly face, when she caught me taking pictures of her!

Happy Mother's day: Erik made me breakfast, on top of a bunch of cards and pictures.
Love the sign!

All's well..

Nettie had surgery on Tuesday (I had a hysterectomy).
I came home from the hospital yesterday afternoon and am doing okay. We decided to keep it on the down low, so please don't be upset if you hadn't heard about it until now, it was just kind of a tmi kinda thing.
I'm on pain drugs n all that fun stuff, but doing okay other than that. Everything went really well and Nate has been able to take the week off of work so that's been great and everything has been going smoothly. Sorry if this is rambling and I hope it makes sense, lil drug-loopy haha.

Everything else is going well around here. Nate is still enjoying his job. The boys are done with school at the end of May. Thor will be baptized in July sometime (when Nate's parents get back from Iraq/Azerbaijan), Erik is as silly as ever and Annika is as girly as ever!

Annika's Birthday!

Today is Annika's birthday. Last night we had some cake and ice cream, pretty low-key birthday for her but she was happy. Here are some pics and a video :)

New PJ's.. she had to wear the shorts AND pants! hehe

Cake!

Finding her new bike!

Soccer is over

Spring soccer is over now. The boys liked it a lot and had fun. They got fancy little medals on their last day.

I gave the blog a makeover!

Things are going pretty well around here.. It's been spring break, sadly the weather has been lame so we haven't done much in the way of springy stuff :(
Really nothing new that I can think of, so just enjoy the new layout! haha :P

Brian & Annika

Brian was doing wheelies in the wheelchair at the hospital in Lori's room and Annika insisted on a ride, and then fell asleep !

Annika on Easter
