Fun with Tabby

Hunter loves to be spiderman. When he is in the van he hangs from the handles by the window and I have to yell at him "Hunter sit down". He then yells back, "no I'm Spiderman." Kids and their imaginations!!

A Day at the Zoo

Well below is a long list of pictures of our day at the Niabi Zoo. We had loads of fun and the kids loved all the animals. Hunter fed the ducks in the water and the goats at the petting zoo. Dirk and Aunt Erin had to take him into the reptile area because mommy is too scared to go in. By the end of the day both kids were fast asleep in the car before we hit the interstate.

Lexi and Hunter were playing on the little car machine. Lexi thought she was big stuff and of course big brother Hunter had to help show her how to drive it.

Daddy giving Lexi kisses on the cheek. Check out those blue eyes, and 2 teeth.

Lexi and Emma on the Rhino. Too cute little girls!

Hunter and Lexi look so much alike in this picture. All Swanson!!

Our family picture, not too flattering of me though.

Aunt Erin was tired so she took over in Hunters wagon for a little while.

Aunt Erin and Hunter are on their way to the Zoo. They were soo excited.

Update on the house

We finally have walls for the basement. I wasn't as brave as Dirk and Carl. They walked around on the walls. It was too high for me.

Dirk and Brian had to haul wheelbarrows full of gravel to put around the foundation. Look at all that mud! What a mess.

We have a hole dug! Finally some work is getting done.

Hunter at the park

Aren't we cute!

I helped Hunter across the monkey bars. He laughed the whole way. He kept just hanging there wanting me to hold him in the air. What a turkey.

Hunter loved playing in the tunnels. He kept wanting me to chase him through them. As you all know I am not a small person but I did it. Of course he laughed that I could never catch him.

Wisconsin Trip

Dirk took me on my first fishing trip. I was pretty cold in the morning but fun. Dirk caught the big catfish of the trip. I think it was 16lbs. I would get all freaked out when the big ones where in the boat. Ryan and Tina went with and Ryan horned Tina in the arm with one of the catfish. She was a big girl and didn't even cry, it burned liked crazy she said. Carl and Cheryl were in their boat and she caught some big fish too. Carl said he had to do all the work though. It was a fun trip.

First Cabage Patch Kid

Lexi got her first cabage patch kid! Her name was Lexi! She loves the doll. It came with an ice cream cone and when you put it to her tounge she licks it and gets sprinkles all over her face. Then you use the magic washcloth and it cleans her face. She is too cute with her.

Hunter's 3rd Birthday

Hunter just had his 3rd birthday party! Cousin Jonathan came over and they had so much fun playing together. Hunter got a tent that we had to put up and both the boys got into it with the sleeping bags. Hunter also got a 4 wheeler! Jonathan has the same one and once Hunter got his they both rode around in the Andrews yard. Jonathan had brought his to ride too. Such a fun day. My little boy is growning up.

Emma Time Again

Lexi and Emma love playing together. Emma likes to take the toys away from Lexi because she is bigger and stronger. Lexi just lets her do it. They are so cute together. It is hard to believe they will be 1 in August.

Happy Girl

Lexi was sitting in her highchair and thought she was such a big girl! She smiled the whole time I was cleaning the kitchen.

Uncle Ben's Prom

Uncle Ben went to prom tonight. He looked so handsome. They look so cute together! Hunter wanted to share this picture with everyone even though he is not in it.

New House

Well if the weather stays dry they will start to dig for our new house. Because of the rain it has pushed the concrete guy back but hopefully it will start 2 weeks from today. Can't wait. This is a side view of the lot. I couldn't get the whole lot in the picture from the front. I will keep you updated by pictures the whole way. What fun!!

Playtime again!

This picture was taken on one of Emma's many visits to play. These girls love their toes. They just won't leave them alone long enough to get a picture of them.

Nice Weather

We went on our first walk this weekend. Hunter had to wear his cool shades! Lexi fell asleep 1/2 way through the walk. The picture above she was giving me this look like, mom get the camera out of my face I want to sleep.
