Pedi and dinner!

2010-03-13T13:20:00.000-08:00

I went to get a pedicure with my girls! Must have pretty toes when having a baby! We went to dinner afterwards to Olive Garden! Chocolate glazed doughnuts anyone? OMG, we ate them in record time. Our waiter asked us if we even "tasted" them!

Happy B-day Jennie!

2010-03-13T13:15:00.001-08:00

We celebrated Jennie's b-day on the night that the Vikings played the BIG GAME! What a bummer that we didn't get to go to the Super bowl. Maybe next year?

Happy 3rd B-day Parker!

Building a snowman with daddy.

Christmas morning..

Santa brought Wesley a "Jack in the box" the only request he had this year!

Christmas Eve 2009

Happy 9th Birthday Jake! (12/20/09)

2010-01-24T14:11:00.000-08:00

1st Christmas program

2010-01-24T14:04:00.000-08:00

Our church has an annual Christmas program. Wesley just stood up there and did not sing one song even though his Sunday school teacher says that in class he is the singer of the class! I guess we will chalk it up to stage freight! The songs the class sang were "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and "Jingle Bells" I was just so happy that Wesley stood up there!

Tristan's school program

2010-01-03T20:24:00.000-08:00

Tristan did a great job this year. He sang all the songs and even smiled several times. Wesley was totally into it and at one point was singing loudly in the audience. It was really cute!

Thanksgiving 2009

2010-01-03T20:20:00.000-08:00

We hosted Thanksgiving again this year. We had my parents over, my sister and her family and my grandma. Everything turned out great and we had plenty of food to eat.

Meeting Santa

2010-01-03T20:08:00.001-08:00

The Woods in Maple Grove had a day in November where you could bring your child and meet Santa and his reindeer. We got out of my car and I told Wesley that Santa was in the parking lot and he saw him and the look on his face was priceless. It was as if he was star struck! Santa approached us and tried to talk to Wesley but he was shy and barried his head into my jacket. We stood in line for 20 minutes to get a picture with Santa. I wasn't sure how he would do but I did manage to pry him off of me long enough to get a photo. Afterwards we checked out the Reindeer-Dasher and Prancer.

Halloween 2009

2010-01-03T20:01:00.001-08:00

Wesley was a lion this year. He put on his costume and was ready to go trick or treating. My grandma came over and handed out candy while Ronnie and I went all around our neighborhood with Wesley. He would have gone miles if we would have let him. He had a blast! He is at such a fun age right now, he wants to do everything. He is becoming such a big boy!

Carving pumpkins with Daddy!

2010-01-03T19:56:00.000-08:00

Baby Ian!

2010-01-03T19:50:00.000-08:00

On October 19th Sheri and Chris had their 3rd son Ian! Wesley and I went over to the Block's to meet their newest addition. He is absolutely adorable. Congratulations Sheri, Chris, Bryce and Carter. We are so happy for you all.

It's a boy!

2010-01-03T19:45:00.000-08:00

On October 9th we had our ultra sound appointment. Everything went really well. At the end of the appointment the tech asked us if we had any questions and we said "Yes, can you tell us the sex?" She said "Yes, it is definately a boy!" I think we both were pretty shocked with the news since my Doctor 4 weeks ago seemed pretty sure it was a girl. We are so excited that Wesley gets to have a little brother. We are just so happy to hear the baby is healthy and we continue to pray for a healthy baby.

101 Market (Pumpkin Patch)

2010-01-03T19:32:00.000-08:00

Wesley and I spent the afternoon at the 101 Market. They had a hayride and I thought it would be a great idea for me to ride in the car with Wesley...It was the bumpiest ride ever. Not very smart being 5 months pregnant! I thought the ride was going to put me into labor. After it was done the guy driving the tractor said "That wasn't too bumpy for you was it? I tried to go slow..." Wesley had a blast looking at all the pumpkins and of coarse riding in the Pig car was his favorite part of the day?

Happy 8th Birthday Sydney (10/20/09)

2010-01-03T19:22:00.001-08:00

Happy B-day Matthew (10/1/09)

2009-11-16T14:53:00.000-08:00

We celebrated Matthew's 6th Birthday at the Duscher's house. Wesley got to help blow out the candles so he was pretty excited about that. He also loved Matthew's pirate cake.
Happy Birthday Mattie! We love you.

Playdate!

2009-11-16T14:48:00.000-08:00

Wesley's friend Carter came over and they had a blast. Carter brought over all his costumes so they both wore costumes all day. It was pretty entertaining for me!

The Woods

2009-11-16T14:42:00.000-08:00

We went to The Wood's to see Hap the Bear and see all the farm animals. Wesley had so much fun looking at all the animals. He got to hang out with his friends Sage and Preston.

Olivia Rae

2009-11-16T14:38:00.000-08:00

My friend Krissy had her little girl, Olivia. Wesley and I went over there to visit. I must say Wesley was extremely helpful! It was really cute but also I realized at that moment how busy I am going to be really be! Congratulations to Ryan and Krissy. Olivia is adorable!

Sad weekend for our neighbors..

2009-09-21T19:57:00.000-07:00

On Saturday afternoon our neighbor's (2 houses down/across the street) garage started on fire. It took the fire department TWENTY MINUTES to get to it. We all watched in horror as the garage/house burned! Thankfully no one was injured!

Happy 60th Birthday Dad/Papa

2009-09-20T14:35:00.000-07:00

We celebrated my dad turning 60 on his actual birthday (9/13) We had a nice dinner at Dehn's and then went to my parent's house for birthday cake and icecream. It is so hard to believe my dad is 60! Hopefully that much closer now to retirement :)
Happy Birthday dad/papa. We love you!

1st day of Sunday school.

2009-09-20T14:32:00.000-07:00

Wesley was the only one that did not cry! He got a jesus loves me bracelet and that is what he is chewing on...

Happy 7th Birthday Nathaniel

2009-09-20T14:24:00.000-07:00

September IS the month of birthdays for us! Last Saturday we celebrated Nathaniel's birthday. Wesley got to help Nathaniel open his presents and he also got to blow out the birthday candles (after we relit them ofcoarse!) Happy Birthday Nathaniel. We love you!

Osseo Parade 2009

2009-09-20T14:21:00.000-07:00

Wesley's very first parade. We met the Duscher's and Grandpa and Grandma there. It was SO HOT that day. Wesley got so much candy. He loved every second of it AND we got to see Nathaniel in the parade. He was on the boyscout float.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

2009-09-20T14:13:00.000-07:00

On 9/9/09 Ronnie turned "35" I had my 16 week check up on his birthday. Ronnie didn't come to the appointment because he was busy working so I went alone. The doctor was unable to hear the heartbeat via the doppler but was not worried. She reassured me and decided to do a quick ultra sound. The doctor did the ultrasound herself because the tech was not there. Everything was fine and the baby was moving all over the place. Then the doctor proceeded to ask me if I wanted to know the sex of the baby! I did but wanted to find out at the same time as Ronnie so I asked the doctor to write down the sex and seal it up and put it in an envelope.I knew we had plans (just the 2 of us) to go to dinner so at dinner I was able to give my husband one of the best birthday presents he will ever receive. We are having a little girl! The doctor is 75% sure so we will find out for sure October 9th. Happy Birthday Ronnie! Wesley and I love you very much.

2009-09-20T14:11:00.001-07:00

Learning at an early age....

Happy 1st Birthday Maiya!

2009-09-20T13:57:00.000-07:00

My friend Jill's daughter turned 1 on September 4th. Wesley and I went to her birtday party on Labor Day. Wesley got to spend the day with his friend Ella (age 2) and Parker (age 2) the three of them get to spend a lot of time together. I went to nursing school with Jill and Leah (Parker's mom) Leah moved by us this summer and Jill is moving by us in February. We are excited! Here are some photo's of the party. It was outside at Maple Grove Community Center.

Gel like Daddy!

2009-09-20T13:54:00.000-07:00

Wesley loves to put gel in his hair so he can be like his daddy!

Driving Daddy's truck!

We can only get away with this up North!

Exciting news....

2009-09-20T13:48:00.000-07:00

Wesley is going to be a BIG BROTHER! We found the news out 1 week after my 34th Birthday. I am due 2/20/10.

Summer Vacation

2009-09-20T13:35:00.001-07:00

The last week of August we got invited to spend 3 days/2 nights up at Izati's resort with Brett, Laura, Dylan (age 5) and Ryan (4 months) It was one of the coldest weeks. It got down to 40 degrees at night so when the daddy's took the boys swimming it was really cold but thankfully the resort had an outdoor hot tub too! We spent most of the time in there. We had a great time. Wesley had fun throwing rocks into Mille Lac's lake and playing with his friend Dylan!

Daddy time!

2009-09-20T13:32:00.000-07:00

Happy 5th Birthday Tristan (8/15/09)

2009-09-20T13:16:00.000-07:00

We celebrated Tristan's birthday this year at the Fischer's house. Tristan had lots of help opening up his presents. He has 1 big sister and 3 boy cousins! He is into Lego's this year and loves to play baseball. Wesley had a great time. He is so into birthday's right now, it is so cute! Happy 5th Birthday Tristan! We love you!

Wesley's new wheel's

2009-06-28T19:49:00.000-07:00

Ronnie bought this today! He figured this is a good way to give me a break and something for Father and son to do together. Wesley loves it! Win win for all of us :)

Planting hosta's...finally!

2009-06-28T19:45:00.000-07:00

This is a project we have been trying to get to for 2 years....

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

2009-06-28T19:38:00.001-07:00

We celebrated Grandpa's birthday at Ronnie's parent's house. The boys had a good time playing together and it was gorgeous outside!
Happy Birthday Dad/Grandpa. We love you!

Memorial day weekend

2009-06-28T16:23:00.001-07:00

My parent's decided to get rid of the timbers in front of their house and have stone instead. My dad asked his "boys" if they could come help him. Todd (my bother-in-law) and Ronnie worked all day on Sunday and most of Monday. It was a very tough job. My mom, sister and I and the kids hung out and watched. Monday my mom made the guys a wonderful steak lunch for all of their hard work. I don't have any pictures of it complete but it sure turned out nice. I will post once I remember to take some pictures next time I am over there.

First computer...

2009-06-28T16:21:00.001-07:00

If only we could be tough and get rid of the nuky!

The Birthday Party

2009-06-28T13:47:00.000-07:00

After rescheduling it twice we were finally able to have the Wesley's birthday party. We all were sick and so we kept having to reschedule it. Since Wesley loves tractor's we decided to go with the John Deere theme. He had a great time with all of his family. Thank-you all for coming and making his birthday so special.

Easter 2009

2009-06-28T13:40:00.002-07:00

We went to church and then had a fabulous dinner at The Youngquist's.
We tried to take a nice family photo but a little hard to do with a busy little 2-year-old...The boys got to do an egg hunt. They had lots of fun.

Grammy and Papa

2009-06-28T13:38:00.000-07:00

Coloring eggs..

2009-06-28T13:34:00.000-07:00

I do not recommend doing this with a 2-year-old!
Yikes, it was fun but a disaster....

Easter farm animal's

2009-06-28T13:31:00.000-07:00

After meeting the Easter bunny we got to meet goats, chickens and bunnies.

Easter 2009

2009-06-28T13:29:00.001-07:00

I took Wesley to meet the Easter bunny. Can you believe how big he looks sitting on the Easter bunny's lap?

"BIG Marshmellow's"

2009-06-28T13:25:00.000-07:00

My friend Terry's parent's went on vacation and brought back all the kids these HUGE marshmellow's. Of coarse Wesley had a blast eating them. Look at the size of them?

More presents..

2009-06-28T13:20:00.001-07:00

Terry stopped by and gave Wesley his birthday presents.
Boy, do I know one spoiled little boy!
Thank-you "Auntie Terry!"

Presents from the Duscher's

2009-06-28T13:11:00.000-07:00

2009-04-11T15:38:00.000-07:00

We had such a wonderful time at Space Aliens. We went there for Wesley's birthday dinner. We invited Grandpa and Grandma Youngquist and The Duscher's (Auntie Jennie, Uncle Scott, Jakie and Mattie) Wow, did our baby have a great time. It was so much fun to see him so excited and enjoying himself.

Happy 2nd Birthday Baby Boy!

2009-04-11T08:22:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday dear Wesley. Happy Birthday to you. I love you with all of my heart Wesley. May you have many many more birthdays. These past two years have been the best years of my life. Thank-you!

Wesley's Birthday present.

2009-04-11T08:19:00.001-07:00

We can at least say we bought our son a CADILLAC!

Is it time yet to ride the tractor?

2009-04-11T08:15:00.001-07:00

Wesley still loves the "tractor" so Daddy took him on a very long tractor ride on his birthday. Okay Spring can get here anytime! This has been the longest winter EVER!

Birthday lunch at McDonalds

2009-04-11T05:41:00.000-07:00

Wesley had more fun at McDonald's playing in the playland with his cousins than he did at the zoo!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Wesley Boo (4/3/09)

2009-04-11T05:35:00.000-07:00

Today we went to the zoo. Wesley had a great time. The zoo was SO BUSY because of the new zoo babies that we didn"t stay very long. My mom, grandma, cousin Joy and her granddaughter Hannah, my sister and her kids all went with us. It was hard to keep everyone together therefore I didn't get to take very many pictures because I was always in someones way. Here are a few of Wesley at the zoo on his birthday.

I do it!

2009-04-11T05:30:00.000-07:00

I think this stage of Wesley's life is REALLY going to test my patient's hourly! He wants to get dressed by himself so of coarse I let him. Yes, I did tell him that he should take his jammies off first but like a typical almost 2-year-old he had to do it his way!

This is NOT a cigarette!

2009-04-11T05:27:00.000-07:00

Sure looks like it but it is a CANDLE from the birthday cake. Tristan is the comedian of the family!

Happy Birthday Mom (3/19/09)

2009-04-11T05:19:00.001-07:00

We celebrated my mom's birthday in March. Wesley like always had a blast with his cousins. Hppy Birthday Mom, we hope you had a great day.

I Sand!

2009-03-22T12:57:00.001-07:00

Ronnie is painting today. He painted almost 2 years ago but we didn't use washable paint. Not a very good idea now that we have a toddler into everything and we have marks all over our walls. Thankfully I married an awesome painter so he is able to repaint our walls...again! If you are looking for a painter, please call us! Ronnie started his own business RLY SERVICES. He is able to do painting, plumbing and any other handyman work you would like done.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

2009-03-22T12:32:00.001-07:00

Ronnie and Wesley were playing with the empty diaper box. Ronnie turned it into a fun car ride for Wesley. He must have pushed him in "the car" 100 times. Do you like the PINK glasses? Heidi (our daycare gal) took the kids to Burger King and Wesley got the girl's happymeal on accident which came with PINK glasses but obviously he didn't mind at all.

Happy Birthday Mom and Jennie

2009-02-09T14:44:00.001-08:00

The Birthday Party

2009-02-09T14:24:00.000-08:00

We celebrated the girls' birthday at our house Saturday night. The Duscher's just got back from Disney World. Jake got a new hat from Disney and Wesley loved wearing it. They brought over their Wii and we had a blast bowling! Happy Birthday Mom and Jennie. We hope you had a very Happy Birthday!

2009-02-09T14:14:00.000-08:00

I had my mom, Grandma, sister and the kids over last Sunday. My grandma heard that Wesley's santa broke again and is unfixable. She happen to find the exact same Santa at Coborn's for $5.00! She brought it over and gave it to Wesley. He was pretty excited so now he carries around BOTH Santa's and his Elmo as you can see they all have to eat with him.

My Fireman

2009-02-09T14:10:00.000-08:00

My sister gave me Tristan's old costume the other day. Wesley saw it in the bag and had to wear it. He loves to wear it around the house. It is too cute except for the darn nuky he won't take out of his mouth!

2009-02-09T14:08:00.000-08:00

Playing ball with Daddy

2009-02-09T14:07:00.000-08:00

Chuck E Cheese

2009-02-09T13:58:00.000-08:00

Parker turned 2! He had his birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. It was Wesley's first time going there. He had a BLAST! I couldn't get him out of the place. We were there 3 hours. All I have to say is "I love the toddler room" You can actually keep tabs on your kid in that room. Here are a few photos of Parker's party.

"Santa"

2009-02-09T13:50:00.000-08:00

The day after Christmas I went to Home Depot looking for a new Christmas tree. While shopping I came across this Santa doll that dances and sings Jingle Bells. I showed it to Wesley and he loved it immediately. There was no way I was going to get by with him putting the Santa back so I bought it. It turns out it was the best $10.00 I have ever spent. He has played with his Santa more than any toy that Santa brought for him. Well because it is not intended for an almost 2-year-old to drag around everywhere it has broken several times. Thankfully I have a very handy hubby who can fix anything. He was able to weld the wires back together so now Santa is working again.

2009-02-09T13:43:00.000-08:00

My sister gave Wesley the pink disney mobile. It use to be Sydney's. Thankfully he is too little to care that his favorite car is PINK.

The Minnesota Zoo

2009-02-09T12:07:00.000-08:00

In January Wesley and I met my sister and the kids at the zoo. We had a great time. Wesley loved the "oo oo ah ah's" That means "Monkey's" Here are a few photos of the day.

Wesley's new ride

2009-02-09T12:03:00.001-08:00

Wesley got this beautiful new bike from Grandpa and Grandma Youngquist. He loves to ride it around in the kitchen.

Christmas Day

2009-02-09T11:34:00.000-08:00

We celebrated Christmas at The Youngquist's. We had a great day. We visited for a while and munched on shrimp cocktail and cheese and crackers. After a while we opened presents. Then we all sat down to a wonderful ham dinner. It was so nice this year for me to not have to work a holiday. 6 1/2 years of working weekends and holiday's was enough for me.

Christmas morning!

2009-02-09T11:26:00.001-08:00

Santa came! Wesley still too little to understand exactly what was going on. I think I made such a HUGE deal that he kept looking at me like I was crazy. As you can see he was more into his spritz cookie than he was into opening up all the presents.

Happy 8th Birthday Jake!

2009-02-09T11:22:00.000-08:00

On December 20th Jakie turned 8! We celebrated his birthday at the Duscher's house. I forgot my camera so I don't have one single photo. Happy Birthday Jakie, we love you very much!

Christmas Eve 2008

2009-01-12T19:14:00.000-08:00

We spent the evening at my sister's house. I had to work till noon that day. Wesley had his afternoon nap and then we headed out to Rosemount, MN. We had a very nice ham dinner and after were able to all relax. The kids had a great time with all of the presents. Sydney got the Mia American girl doll so she was on cloud nine. Tristan got lincoln logs and lots of other fun toys that he had wanted. Wesley got a cool new truck that has a handle that you can push and a new work bench. He got lots of other great toys also.

Having fun with Toilet paper...

2009-01-12T19:12:00.000-08:00

My attempt for the "perfect" Christmas card.

2009-01-12T19:05:00.000-08:00

Obviously my son would not cooperate and sit nice in front of the tree so after 20 minutes I just gave up and we used photos from this summer!

20 month's (12/3/08)

2009-01-12T19:00:00.000-08:00

Wow, where to start. Wesley is doing so many things now it is amazing. He LOVES music. He dances all around the house anytime we have music on. He knows what sound every animal makes and he can identify every animal. He is so into tractors (still) cars and trucks. He is talking so much now too. It is really fun to see his little mind in action. He learns something everyday. He STILL is not good at sleeping thru the night so that has been hard on us lately. I hope that we can get things figured out soon as the lack of sleep is catching up to me.

Thanksgiving 2008

2009-01-12T18:47:00.000-08:00

I apologize but it has been along time since I have updated Wesley's blog! I have been so busy juggling work, being a mommy and a wife. We celebrated Thanksgiving this year at our house. We had my parent's over, my sister's family over, my Grandpa and Grandma Barthel and Grandma Klersy. Here are a few photo's of the day.

19 month's (11/3/08)

Here are the numbers: Height 33 1/2 inches tall (95th percentile) Weight 27 pounds (75th percentile) Wesley is a big kid! He is wearing almost 2T at 19 months. He is doing very good. He can tell you what sound almost every animal makes. He can almost count to three. He gets stuck at 2 everytime. He can tell you where his eyes, ears, nose, mouth, chin, hair, fingers, toes and belly button is. He can say lots of words now. He loves to say "Moon, Cracker, Tractor, Momma, Dah dey (daddy) Papa, Tibby, Jakie, Nin-nee (Sydney) Nam mee (grammy)He loves to sit on my lap and look at all the picutes on the blog. He woke up the other day and the first thing he said was Jakie! We had to go to the computer and see his cousin Jakie. It was really cute! We have had several tough months with him and sleeping. He has never been a good night time sleeper but lately he has been out-of-control. He wakes up 2-3 times in the middle of the night and won't go back to bed till I go in there. It has been a work in progress. I am trying now to let him cry it out but it is SO TOUGH! I am such a sucker. When he screams "Momma" I go running! I know my hubby would like to hold me down and not let me go in there as it is what needs to be done. I am working hard on it but like I said it is a work in progress. Wesley is getting his I-teeth now so that has been part of the problem too. He has 13 or 14th teeth now. He is just so busy! Each day he does something so darn cute that just brings such a smile to my face-makes the long nights worth every second!

The last gorgeous day of 2008 we spent over at my parent's house. My sister, Sydney, Tristan Wesley and I hung outside and played in the leaves. We had a blast. Wesley loves to follow his cousins everywhere. It was really cute.

Halloween 2008

2008-11-10T13:30:00.000-08:00

What a beautiful night for trick or treaters! FINALLY!! Well our night didn't start out that great. Ronnie and I didn't get home till after 5:30. Ronnie has been working lots of long hours lately so we didn't get a chance to carve the pumpkins Thursday night so we (or should I say Ronnie) carved the two pumpkins on the back gate of the truck till almost 6:30. Wesley would only wear part of his costume (black sweatpants and a black onesie) so we handed out candy for most of the night. Wesley LOVED all the kids coming to his house. After a while I said "Let's go downstairs and get your pumpkin" We went downstairs and got his pumkin. He carried it up stairs and went right to the candy dish by the front door and put a piece of candy in his pumpkin bucket! It was so cute! As you can see Ronnie struggled with Wesley to get his costume on. He screamed and carried on so I took the Nemo hat off and he was better with the hat off. We went to a few houses then came back and handed out candy to the trick or treaters, Maybe next year it will be better?

I tried the Nemo hat on Wesley a week before Halloween. To my surprise he loved wearing the hat so I was thinking that putting the costume on him on halloween would be no problem....boy was I wrong!
