Rally Day

Here are some pictures from Rally Day at Jaxon's school.  He competed in 4 events: the softball throw, frisbee throw, 50m dash & 400m relay.  He took 1st place in the softball throw, 4th in the 50m dash and his team took 2nd at the 400m relay.  It was a fun day for all the kids until it started pouring rain and we all got just drenched (but of course the kids loved getting all wet in the rain).  Here are some pictures from the day....

Here is Jaxon at the softball throw.

Here is his first place ribbon for the softball throw.

Here is the second place team for the 400m relay.  

How to stress out your mom

This is how you stress out your mom.  Take dance lessons for a year, have them buy you a ridiculously expensive costume, have pictures in the costume (which ended up taking so long that we missed Jaxon's pinewood derby) and then cry your eyes out at dress rehearsal and refuse to dance.  Oh well...at least we have proof that she did have a costume.  So here is the first and last dance picture of our little Landry....

Mother's Day Weekend

Here are some pictures from this weekend. We got to swim at a pool with cousins, take a walk over the St. Anthony bridge, take in a Twins game and just spend some great time together as a family. Thank you for a great weekend and making me feel so special.

Happy Birthday Tseganesh!!!

It has been a great day celebrating Tseganesh's life. I can't believe that she is already one year old. It is amazing to think of what has happened in her first year of life. She is a miracle and blessing to our family.

In honor of her birthday we went to the Chippewa County Courthouse to file her adoption paperwork. It is the final step in her adoption and it will be great to hear a judge say that she is forever our daughter.

Here are some pictures of Tseganesh in her birthday shirt and of the girls at the courthouse with the packet of paperwork!

Jaxon - its a girl thing

Here is Jaxon trying to teach Landry how to play catch. (sorry the video is pretty low quality but we are having trouble uploading on our internet) I guess he has a lot of teaching to do. At least she said a "sporting phrase". Oh well!

Mmmmmmm

Here is Tseganesh enjoying a piece of cake!

It is finger lickin' good!!!

Sugar makes me happy!!!

The joys of having a big sister!

This morning the girls slept in late which was nice since Jaxon had to be at school at 6:10 for a field trip. I was getting some stuff ready in the kitchen when I heard Landry giggling. This is how Tseganesh looked when I got her. I asked Landry what is all over her face, "oh it's lotion". What a spa we are running over here.
