This is a "boat" that Chris put together for the kids. He is such a great Dad! It has taken a beating in this picture and has since headed off to a recycling plant. Fun times!

Krystal came out for a visit before leaving for Guyana (Peace Corp). We took her downtown to visit the Special Olympics opening ceremonies. It was cold, but fun!
More pictures of Aunt Krystal and the kids. We had fun making faces and dancing, the YMCA in particular!
Ellie's jammies are getting a bit too small in this picture. :)
We went to Island Park over President's Day weekend and had so much fun with the Beckstrand side of our family. We spent time sledding, sleeping and preparing and eating food. Of course, we spent plenty of time chatting as well. It was an eventful weekend that we couldn't miss.
Chris' 33rd birthday. We had a fun party with Dave n' Am and Quinn. When I asked Chris what he wanted for his birthday, he said a "dart gun". I had a good laugh at that one. He said he wanted to be able to play with Caleb. So, Caleb had fun picking out the dart gun and I got him some much needed pajama pants (preferably some without a whole in the bum!). He is much more modest around bedtime now. ha.
Yes, I wrapped Chris' gifts in the Wall Street Journal. I was out of wrapping paper and Chris is all about frugality anyways. I guess it was a win/win!
Caleb started playing flag football in March and loves the practices, but not so much the games. He has only one game left and it is finally starting to warm up a bit. They have not won a game yet, but they don't seem to mind as long as there are snacks afterwards!
Grandma and Grandpa Keller came for a visit and made it to a game. Grandma kept Ellie warm while Levi slept under a borrowed blanket. It was a chilly day!
Again, what a good Dad. Chris was an assistant coach for the season and worked so well with the boys.
This is Ellie on "Crazy Clothes Day" at preschool during Dr. Suess birthday week. She looked so hilarious! The second picture is a bit of "crazy" under her skirt...some fun tights!
Levi decided he liked Ellie's "get-up" and tried on a few things when she returned home.
Ellie all dolled up for a fairy birthday party. What a beautiful lady.
In March, Levi was at a friends house and their play kitchen fell over on him and smacked him in the nose. He needed 3 stitches. Here are the pictures of the stitches with and without the strips. He was a trooper!
Levi (with stitches) in some underwear. He came out dressed like this. I think he found the underwear and then Ellie helped him make it even more crazy by putting it up on his shoulders. We won't say whose underwear it is...
Five days later, no more stitches. It should heal up well, if not, he has a great "battle wound".
Easter weekeknd. Grandma Keller organized a egg hunt for the kids. Can you feel the excitement?!
