Roman's Birthday

Roman's birthday- Todd was out of town, and my mother-in-law was staying with us.  She and I took the boys to pump-it-up, then dropped Lance at preschool.  We then went straight to Toys R Us where Roman wore the crown and picked out a dinosaur and a Scooby Doo stuffed animal.  After grabbing lunch at Salad Creations, we picked up Lance and headed home.  Later that evening, we grabbed dinner and had cupcakes in ice cream cones at grandma and grandpa Michalski's.  It was a great day.  Happy 2nd birthday, Roman!

Dakota Homecoming Parade

Today was the Dakota homecoming parade.  It goes right down Heydenreich, so we sat in our backyard and watched it go by- and the kids got a bunch of candy that they threw!

Thomas!!!!

Today we went to Crossroads Village or Huckleberry Railroad to see Thomas the Train.  It was a Larger-Than-Life experience.  Lance and Roman were thrilled, but we had a blast too!  Check out that train!

Tongue Tied

Poor Roman!  He fell off a chair (anyone who knows Roman knows this is a common occurrence).  Oh, Roman fell again.  But this time he's crying- a lot.  As he walked toward me I saw the blood pouring out of his mouth.  On further inspection he had almost bit completely through his tongue.  It was crazy.  I have never seen so much blood.  It was a huge cut, but thankfully not completely through, so therefore not off.  It has healed miraculously in a weeks time- and never seemed to bother him past the initial impact.  Actually, he seems pretty happy to show it off.  What  trooper!

Playing at Metro Beach

Today we went with our moms group to Metro beach.  We played on the jungle Gym for awhile, then headed over to the splash pad for some water fun.  

Great Lakes Steamers

The Great Lakes Steamers are a group of train aficionados that run their 1/8 scale trains ina park in Royal Oak.  The tracks are a permanent addition to the park and have been there since the early 1980s.  The first weekend of every month in the summer, they run the trains and allow people to ride on them for free, although they accept donations.  We had a blast!  The yellow one looked like a diesel, while the blue one, Lance's favorite, was a real steamie with a real firebox that the engineer shoveled coal into!  It was awesome.  We must have ridden at least 5 times!

Another Loon-y Game!

Our first Loons game of the year!  I don't even remember what the score was, but I think the Loons lost.  Either way, we had a great time.  Check out the balloon hats the boys got, and the fireworks after the game.  Thanks to Grandma and grandpa Holman for such a nice time!

Dr. Evil

Look at my Crazy HAT!

Todd and Moose in front of the Sausage Shack- I'm sure the attendants get this all the time...

Roman in his hat.

"My new invention... hot dog-on-a-stick!"

"Hey, YOU!  That's MY hotdog-on-a-stick idea!!!"

Towing...

Thought this was a cute pic of Lance towing Roman.  Ah, brotherhood...

Proof that Roman is male...

Only testosterone makes you fall asleep in this position.  Now the question is, does he get this from his dad, or from his grandpas? (and yes, that hand is INSIDE the diaper!)
