Cullen and Breck trying their best to not look cold. The wind in the tower was crazy!

Ringing the Peace Bell.

Having a little fun in the snow!

Dad and Son, Mom and Son.....enjoying our family! We are really lucky to have one another :)

Best friends.....fighting partners.....teammates.....cuddle buddies.....

Love pictures from the back. Probably one of my favorites! Cullen enjoying the snow.

Our almost 4 year old, showing off his pearly whites! So cute!

The crazy family...known only as the BURNS!!!

Family Pictures :)

We took some family pictures this morning and I just couldn't wait to share a few with you! Here is Breck climbing in a tree

Cullen flashing one of his adorable smiles :)

Getting the boys to laugh a little and trying to have some fun! They were getting a little cold :) But it was so beautiful out!

How cool is the snow! We are happy we finally have some.

And all of us together! Thanks again, Amanda! We are super excited to see the rest of them! You did such a good job of capturing our lil guys!

Painting

The boys were doing some painting the other day and had a lot of fun getting dirty. We started out with brushes....

and ended up using our hands!!

Adventure Zone

Over the weekend we needed a fun activity for the boys to burn some energy and we could enjoy ourselves too. We headed to Adventure Zone (an arcade/game/play place) Shawn and Breck enjoyed a little air hockey. Cullen and I did some skee-ball, basketball, and games where you just pushed lots of buttons.

They played in the playground area where they crawled through lots of tunnels, run up a roller slide to come down a real slide. And had fun playing with other kids there too.

Cullen driving a hot rod!

Then we met this pirate. He was really funny....he said his name was Captain Hook. He ended up wearing it home and everyone we passed in the street really enjoyed it too :) But he always makes sure to tell and show you that "it's really me under here, I'm not a real pirate....See"

For whatever reason, clothes are optional at our house. Somehow when we got home Cullen took off his clothes and started running around the house in just his socks. Then he got on the couch and did some yoga! Nice downward dog, Culley!

Hoping for More!!!

We got a little snow last week, and the boys did their best to go sledding with the lil we got. They only got a few runs in before we were down to grass completely.

It was fun for me to watch them work together, decide who would go first and second, who would ride in front when they went together, who would pull the sled up the hill, and believe it or not these were all solved between the two of them! No fights, no crying, and no help from Mom!!

We got 2 inches last night and are very excited to get out and shovel :)

Valentine's Day Tea Party

Breck's school had a Valentine's Day party where the boys got to ingest lots of sweets.

Play games, do crafts, and hide from Mom. They were up in the loft and I was pretending I couldn't find them. They thought it was hilarious!! Breck expression shows it, Cullen's is always delayed ( or waits for Breck's reaction then mimics him)

Cullen giving Breck a hug, but I was too slow. Still cute though!

I guess I have to give in to technology sometimes. These boys are becoming quite good at finding their way through the ipad. Sometimes they play nice, like here. And other times, not so much! Happy Valentine's Day to the most incredible, wild, and funny boys I know! Love you, Bug! Love you, Bear!

G & G Burns Visit

Breck and Grandma Carol! Nice choke hold you got there, Breck!

3 Generations of Burns Skaters enjoying the ice together!

Such speedy skaters, who's gonna win?

Most of the crew taking in another beautiful day in Duluth

Cullen was spectating from the car. There were buttons to press, keys to play with, and it was warmer than outside.

UMD Game

So excited to see the Bulldogs beat the Fighting Sioux! The boys overlooking the arena and cheering!

Brothers! Love this picture! They were very excited to see the game, watch the zamboni, and meet my friend Junior!

Cullen with a front row view! He was a happy camper!

Its been a long time since I've seen Junior and we finally got a chance to catch up, I got to meet his wife, and even a got a few pics with the boys and even some autographs! It's pretty weird to have a college friend be so popular :) So proud of him!

Hobey Baker winner from 2004, Junior meeting our boys for the first time! He was so nice to them and I hope we get to see him more often in the future! Thanks, Junior! So good to see you!

HOCKEY!!

Cullen is enjoying playing hockey more and more each day. Since Breck likes playing goalie it works out perfect!

Following in the Burns' footsteps :)

Who do you think is going to win? I don't know but they had a blast playing together and NO fights!!

Boys will be boys

Giving each other wagon rides through out the house! Notice that Cullen did most of the pulling :)

Breck did some pulling too, but not as much as Cullen. He did have a fun time riding when he got a chance to.

Lately they think that taking off their clothes is hilarious! They just ran in circles laughing at each other and chasing each other. Pretty funny to watch.

Shawn was trying to take a little nap, but Cullen had other ideas in mind. Daddy was his trampoline!

Surprise, Stacy!

Steve threw Stacy a surprise birthday party last Friday evening at our favorite restaurant Que Viet. This is her shocked enterance!!

He had the help of some of Stacy's good friends Tom (back left) and Jenny & James (back right) and about 30 guests to help her celebrate!

Me and my date, Trista. And Stacy's roommate from WI Tamara, and husband, Kelly.

With help from Brent and Courtney too as they were the "only" people they were meeting there.

And no birthday is complete without Cold Stone ice cream cake!! Happy birthday Stacy!
