Jerins Reveal their Secret!

Heather and Ben are expecting their first bundle of joy in August.  They found out the gender of the baby on Ben's birthday but kept it a secret for the family to find out together.  They hosted a great gender reveal party for the immediate family members.  

The black poster is the old wives' tales.  The white page was for us to guess boy/girl

Spring Break 2014

The boys were so great during most of our spring break while I cleaned closets etc.  So we were finally able to go to the Science Museum and the awesome dinosaur exhibit.  We had a great day, lunch at Cossetta's and fossils!

Charlie brought his journal and wanted to take notes of the dinos that he didn't know much about.

Disney on Ice - Lets Celebrate!

We were fortunate to go to Disney on Ice this year with the boys.  It was a great time and fun for Mom and Dad to see the classic Disney characters again.  Because the theme was "Lets Celebrate", we saw Mickey's birthday party, Valentine's day, Christmas, and Halloween.  The characters ranged from Mickey and Minny to Lilo and Stitch.

Ready for the action to start

Let the fun begin

Polar Plunge!

Tim, along with his BMI coworkers, took the polar plunge to support the Forest Lake Rotary.  They raised around $1,300 for the cause.  The boys were so nervous watching Daddy be cold but he lived to talk about it!  

   

It was below 0 with the windchill!
