Anything you can do, I can do better.  I can do anything better than you!

No you can't...

Yes I can...

Soft landing

Wow that was fun!

Wedding at Green Lake

We went to Spicer for a wedding and spent some of the day at Green Lake.  A lake that means a lot to Grandpa Mike as he grew up on this lake.  

Taking some time to play at a park before getting all dressed up.

A fish rock climbing wall...only at a park by a lake in Minnesota :) 

Wowzers!  These kids are adorable!

And they get along! Our boys are best buds!

Coming in the final stretch with Dad offering words of encouragement!
He did such a great job, tying for 2nd place! (sorry for the weird pic, not sure why it copied like that)

On Sunday morning Kallie, Matt, Shawn & I ran a relay marathon.  Kallie was the 1st to take the course.  Shawn and Matt cheering her on!

Then it was my turn to get us through 1/2 the race.

Matt, our 3rd leg.

And then the big man sporting his UMD pride finishing it up for us

Dentist & Wolf Pack

Cullen smashed his tooth again at school so we needed to take him in again because this time it started to change color.

We thought this might be the last picture of him with his tooth, that he might have it pulled because it was dead.  But lucky for him it's not abscessed, causing him pain, or causing damage to his adult tooth.  And it might go back to it's original color (after 3-6 months) We'll see! 

Breck planted a tomato plant at school and took it home to grow.

It produced 1 tomato and he was pretty proud!!  I was just happy we didn't kill it.  

Made homemade donuts....

And they were pretty good!

Breck and Cullen are in a group of boys called the Wolf Pack where they will meet once a month to do fun things, explore Duluth, learn, do community service, and strengthen friendships! 

Here they are playing a "pack" game where the wolves get lost from the pack and they have to howl until their pack finds them:)

Duluth's Beauty

I had the boys for the weekend and we seriously spent every second outside.  It was gorgeous out and we wanted to see everything!  So we biked down to Canal Park, went to the Museum, watched a ship come in, played, and chased the seagulls.  

Then we went home and hiked Chester Creek.  Here Cullen is scaling the rocks!

Breck working the rocks down by the water.

The lovely and beautiful creek in our backyard (almost!)

The boys in Chester

Another adventure with the Eberths....biking, running, and rollerblading down the Lakewalk, dinner at Grandmas, and Ice Cream to end the day!!  So much fun.  

Wake up the next day and decide to head back into Chester and do it again!
Boys being silly!

Taking in the view and throwing rocks.

Handsome little dude trying to find the most "dangerous" way to get around.  Ninja warrior style.

My little cheeser! 

Exhausted boys after an amazing hike!  Man we had a great time.  I wish we could do it everyday

They had just enough energy to throw a few leaves in the air per Mom's request.  
Cute!
