Sweetheart Dance

The daycare had another Valentine's dance this year and it was a big hit. Mason was a little shy at first to get on the dance floor, but he eventually found some friends and had a great time! He even brought Kira out to the dance floor with him. It was the cutest thing ever! She kept looking back at Mom and Dad and smiling as Mason took her hand out to the dance floor :)

(Can you tell by Kira's cheek's that she is getting lots of molars coming in?)

Puppy! (and Shana!)

Kyle, Shana and Neko came down to visit last weekend. Kira was pretty excited, especially since her favorite word right now is puppy.

We love books!

Mason decided he wanted to read to Kira, so Kira picked out one of her favorite books and they both really enjoyed it! I hope they are always this nice to each other...haha!

Video of Mason bowling

Mark was in Oshkosh for his annual football weekend so I took some video of Mason bowling for the first time for him to see :)

Alyssa's 10th Birthday Bowling Party

The kids had a great time at Alyssa's birthday party! We went bowling at Varsity Lanes in Milton. This was Mason's first time bowling and he did pretty well. Bowling kept his interest all the way up to about the 8th frame. Kira also had a good time watching everybody and practicing using the steps... a lot!

Kitchen Remodel!

Well, after almost 5 months our kitchen is finally done! We are so happy with how everything turned out. The kids are constantly running through the kitchen now - there's so much more room! Kira loves to play in the pantry and we find lots of random items in there, like remotes, books, shoes, you name it!

Here are some before, during and after shots:

 When we first moved in! ...2004

Making the closet deeper by extending it into the stair well.

 Finally done! 5 LONG months of construction, but it was well worth it!

(do you like Mason's mustache? :) )

Closet and stairs all cleaned up!
