The kids...

Morgen in her turtle jammies...

(I stole this from my sister Bekah's blog) 

Morgen recently went to Jess and Bekah's house and they did Microsoft Paint together.  She learned that from her daddy : )  This is supposed to be Morgen in her pink turtle jammies.  Too cute!  It so looks like all her stick figures she's been drawing.  It even includes her capital "I" and lower case "i" she's learning at K-4!

Stances

Yesterday, Morgen wanted to know how to be a ballerina, so I printed off the ballet positions(because I know nothing about ballet).  I didn't want Carsten to copy her so I printed off the football stance(notice the papers on the floor with their demos).  It was fun to see them work on their stances (or positions for Morgen) : )  Thank you Google.com!!

Carsten's boo-boo

Carsten fell at the neighbor's house today and hit his forehead.  I don't think the picture actually shows the true size of it.  It is quite huge.  No other problems at the moment, so we're just watching him.   A little Tylenol and Ibuprofen will hopefully keep the pain down.  

3 amigos plus Carsten...

The neighbor girls got new bikes this past weekend.  Morgen's been the only one with a bike for awhile(now she's praying for a bigger bike like them), so since they all can ride together, it's been non stop action!  Carsten felt left out without a helmet, so we went inside to get his Tonka helmet.  He raced up and down the road right along with them.  He either would ride his 3 wheeler or push the truck. He almost prefers the truck because he can run faster than pedal! : )

Visiting Grandpa and Grandma Markgraf

Grandma Markgraf got a new swing set and the kids really enjoyed it. 

(Notice fat old Snickers in the top picture-- Snickers used to be our dog until I got pregnant with Carsten.  Then I decided I didn't need 3 babies/toddlers all at once.  Grandpa and Grandma Markgraf graciously adopted him) 

Baking cookies

We went up north this weekend.  Morgen helped Grandma Markgraf make cookies.
