Just a few cute pictures

Meredith with a gun in one hand and a doll in the other! 

Babysitters for the night...Dave and Ann.  A little popcorn and watching "Swiss Family Robinson" with grandpa and grandma makes for some happy kiddos.
 

Luke is going to be quite a handyman.  Here he is putting together his new desk.  I was working on it alone when he came up and said, "Do you need some help with that, mom?"  So sweet.
 

Ben and Luke are in a big-time Ninja phase!  It started with Luke's love for Legos.  Lego has a line of Legos called Ninjago.  There are 5 or 6 ninja warriors that live in Ninjago.  Luke and Ben spend hours playing Ninja, building Ninja Legos, and begging to watch Ninjago cartoons.
 

Mer-bear went with daddy on a delivery to auntie Eryn's store a while back.  She loves that place and always finds lots of pretty bracelets to try on!


 Mer is pretty good at relaxing in front of the fire. She laid this way for a half hour watching a show with the boys!  And the picture to the left in her pink shirt is showing off her Addidas shoes.  They were a hand me down for the boys but now they are Mer's.  She's a tom-boy just like her mom!



Hannah and Joe offered to watch the kids a few weekends ago.  Paul and I went on a date...we are so grateful! And it's safe to say the kids had a blast without us, too!




Cute Mer and sleepy Ben...
 

 

Benny looks like a grown man in this picture below!  And one Friday over Christmas break, when Luke went with Paul on a delivery to St Cloud, they stopped by Richmond on the way home and went to Haffley's for Happy Hour with Grandpa Ernie.  So Ben and Mer and I decided to have our own happy hour.  We cranked up the tunes and had pop, chips and dip, and a cocktail for myself.  Cheers!
 

Luke is reading and snuggling with Meredith.  And we went bowling to celebrate Luke's star chart being filled up with acts of kindness.  Way to go Lukey!

Milestones

All three of my little babes are meeting milestones like crazy this summer.  Let's start with the oldest of the crew - Mr. Luke Ervin: Milestones of note for LUKE : 1. Biking (previously mentioned in a blog post) 2. Swimming without a lifejacket, in the deep end.  Diving, cannon-balling, sommer-saulting, 360'ing off the diving board, and more.  He is amazing!  Just a month ago he wouldn't jump in the shallow end of the pool and get his face wet.  We are extremely amazed at and proud of him.  The picture below is from the auqatic center in Willmar...since the time of this picture he has completely stopped needing a life jacket but I wanted to add this picture b/c it's so cool. 3.  Teeball'ing as a switch hitter; catching a baseball like never before.  One day he hits right handed, the next left.  What will he be???  We've determined he will just be a switch hitter!  We are so proud of him for playing and improving and enjoying this game on his

What a year....2020

 My posts these days are few and far between.  Maybe it's because life is busy.  Or because I'm working more.  Or because, as always, I find it hard to keep up with all the moments that I want to etch in my memory and so I get overwhelmed trying to document them here.  Or maybe, just maybe, it could have something to do with 2020 being an absolutely wild and unprecedented year!  Despite it all, we are thriving, still smiling, still laughing, still fighting (I guess a lack of fighting would be cause for concern among 3 kids, right?), and we are definitely still counting our blessings.  My friend Julie and I say multiple times a day "Jesus take the wheel."  :)   Spring 2020 quarantine couldn't have been more awesome.  The weather was gorgeous, the kids were thrilled to be home and playing outside, and we spent almost everyday clearing out our woods, burning (my favorite past time, as many people know), and golfing in our yard and at the course.  Ben spent hours on t
