Mexico

i am off to mexico in the morning(yeah!!). I know that I am going to have a great time but I will miss my boys!!

Procrastinating

Why am I making all these new posts when I have so much to do to get ready for vacation?

Yummy

Frozen blueberries are Lane's favorite food! He will eat them for any meal or snack, like tonight. All he had for supper was blueberries and shredded cheese. What a great mom I am! Ha Ha!! He gets so messy and his fingers stay stained purply blue for at least one whole day. He knows a few words in sign language and one of them is 'more'. That is what he is doing in the third picture.

I love my cousin!

Melissa and Kory spent a couple of nights in Stillwater at a bed and breakfast, so Norah got to spend Saturday night at Grandpa and Grandma Driver's house then come over to our house Sunday afternoon, spend the night, then play all day Monday with us. I can't believe how lucky I got, both Lane and Norah took naps at the same time Sunday and Monday, and they went to bed at the same time and woke up within 15mins of each other! That meant I got to have a little break when they were down. I also tackled a trip to Walmart to buy groceries. Of course, there was more then one person who asked if they were twins. That always makes me laugh because they look nothing alike. We had a dance party on Monday, here are some pictures:

Girl's Night Out

A few weekends ago, some of us ladies went out for a rockin' night of dancing to The D Boys at the Willow River Saloon. We spent the night in the biggest dive ever, America's Best Value Inn. A few scary people actully live there and one was really trying to chat us up and gave us way too much info about himself!! Here are some pics courtesy of Nat:
(I'm not sure why the pictures are super tiny, get out your magnifying glass!)

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Here are a few of the pictures I took of Lane to surpraise Jason for valentine's day. It wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be. Here is what Jason got:

It says,"Happy Valentine's Day, Daddy!!"

Have a great Valentine's Day!

Love, Jason, Dawn, and Lane

Great Read!!

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

This book has over 500 pages and took me less than 5 days to read it. This is not typically the type of book that I would read but I have heard such good things about the whole series(3 right now and a 4th out this august) so I thought I would give it a try. I am so glad I did!! I finished it last night and called the library this morning to reserve the next 2. I am on the waiting list for both of them and I hope I can get the second one before I leave on vacation. So, about the book, there are vampires( see, totally not something I would normally be into) and a love story( something I am totally into). That is all I am going to say because you have to read it to find out the rest. I will post fun stories and pics from the weekend soon.

Future Girlfriend??

Addy and Lane

Sunday night we all went to Travis and Sam's house to watch the Superbowl. We had such a fun time. Lane really enjoyed playing with Avery, Teagun, and Addy(okay, and ALL of their toys!!). Lane and Addy played well together, he only stole her toys a few times. Isn't that what boys do? They treated us to steak, potatoes, and REALLY good scalloped corn. The kids dined on fine cusine, corn dogs and french fries. Lane actully ate some of the corn dog, only after he had ate all of the fries. French fries are his all time favorite food, who could blame him. During half time, we played guiter hero. It was my second time playing and I am proud to say I am improving, I only got booed off of one song! Jason played for the first time. Of course, he caught on fast. Travis and Sam sure impressed us with their skills. We made it back upstairs to catch the last half of the last quarter, perfect timing.

Here are some recent pics:

Watching the last minutes of the superbowl

Lane graduated from his highchair to a booster seat! He loves sitting at the table with us.Just catching up on the latest issue of Successful Farmer magazine

One of his favorite christmas presents is the mega block legos. Check out his extra tall faux hawk!

All that building really wore him out!!

This weekend, I have a girls night out planned in WI, Jason is going ice fishing at Lake of the Woods, and Lane is having a sleepover at Grandpa and Grandma's house. I'm sure we will have fun stories and pictures!
