Minnesota March Birthdays :-) Celebrations

March 6th, Bruce and I packed up and left for Minnesota to celebrate birthdays for Kman and Kcowgirl. We had a tailwind all the way and enjoyed a beautiful trip. We didn't see any snow until we got over halfway across South Dakota. When we landed, the whole clan was there to greet us. It's so funny, when we were coming in to land, I could see kids bouncing......with excitement. We took Kman and family out for Chinese, his favorite place to eat, for his birthday celebration. He opened his gifts when we got home and we ate wonderful chocolate cake. We got to play "Ticket to Ride," his new game - it was really fun to play but be prepared to sit for a couple of hours.
 Ready to open up the goodies.

Birthday boy with his sisters....

 Kman with his new #24 popcorn - Jeff Gordon.
 Princess K-brown eyes
 and Princess K-Sis
 9 YEARS OLD!!! next year we are in double digits!
 Papa and kids ready for nighty night.
 Mommy and the girls baking some bread. Carrie gave me some bread instruction.  I need lots of help!
 K-sis at gymnastics. Boy has she improved since last year....
and K-cowgirl is an awesome gymnast already! Papa and I were so impressed... 
 Kman and Papa putting together a Nascar he got for his birthday!
 they also go to swim and gym.  They had lots of fun...
 and K-cowgirl turned 7.... She is such a sweet girl!!
ready to let 'er rip!

 and then we went to the Fargo Air Museum where all the airplanes actually fly.... Was really nice, but I thought we would never get Papa out of there!
 K-girl trying out the jeep in the air museum. She had a lot of fun on her birthday!
 Even daddy got a little hands on in the helicopter!

 Then we went to Sheels where they have a big ferris wheel. Everyone rode but mommy who stayed on the ground taking pics (really she doesn't like the ferris wheel but don't tell anybody!)
Daddy with the two younger girls. This is the first time K-brown eyes got to go... She has grown so much!

Nana and Kman had fun until Kman started to rock it a little!!! so  not fun!
The day we went to Fargo, it warmed up to a balmy 45 degrees, and since we left - it has gotten lots warmer. Makes you wonder what the Spring and Summer will hold!

Tried to upload video of the girls at gymnastics, but wouldn't let me upload.... was taking FOREVER...... sorry about that!!

We are all so glad you guys were able to come up and celebrate with us! We had a blast and I don't think we could have fit any more activities into our schedule.

The kids really miss you guys and want to know when you can come up again.
