Happy Thanksgiving

This is so cute I just had to share with the rest of you. Grace brings home a recipe for a Thanksgiving meal from school that she wrote.

Buy a 6 pound turkey. Before cooking the turkey, put it on a pan. Then stuff it with baste. Cook it for 6 hours at 2 degrees. Other foods to eat with the turkey are mashed potatoes, mac-n-cheese, milk and ice cream. Grace is thankful for sandals.

That whole sandals thing cracked me up she is definitely like her mama!! If it didn't snow here in SD I would wear flip flops year around.

On another note had a very nice day, we went to the farm and ate an amazing meal with great family. Nothing beats Marys homemade buns and Grandmas Rosies stuffing. YUMMY!!! We are now back home and relaxing before the hockey filled weekend. Hunter plays here all weekend while Sean and Logan head to the cities all weekend. Welcome to hockey season I guess you could say.

Happy 13th Birthday Hunter

Little Hunter Man came into this big world unable to breath on his own. Weighing 7 lbs 5 oz he looked so big compared to the other sick babies in the NICU

Hunter loved his pooh bear

Best Buds

Officially a Teen now, Bring it on!!!!

Wow so hard to believe that 13 years have gone by. Seems like yesterday he entered this world and shortly after we found out how sick he was. Swooped off without ever being held he was off to Sioux Falls. After 19 long days in the NICU Hunter was able to come home and join his big brother. I still believe a lot had to do with his stubbornness!! Hunter is one strong willed child that is for sure. But that is him and we love him so much. Hunter has a heart of gold and a work ethic that will get him so far in life.

I look back at these pictures of Hunter and really notice he hasn't changed much in looks at all. He was a beautiful baby and as he went through his toddler years with his chubby little cheeks and innocent smile. He is now a handsome young man... Happy Birthday Hunter Man we love you so much!!

First game of the PeeWee season under our belts!! Rangers bring home a win 6-1 with first two goals coming from Hunter!!

Elf on the Shelf

This is "Addison" our new Elf that lives with us. She will officially come out the morning of the 24th. Each night while the kiddos are sleeping "Addison" will fly to the North Pole and report to Saint Nick. She will tell him if they have been good or been bad. The news of the day will make him happy or sad.

The next morning after the children awake, they will discover "Addison" had returned from the North Pole and is now resting in a new and different place. There's only one rule that they have to follow and that is they can't touch her. See if you do her magic might go, and Santa won't hear all she has seen or that she knows.

Grace is so excited about her and can't wait for her to appear!!! This is the first year we will have done this but I am excited to see how Grace does. Our Elf was named by Miss Grace of course :)

Life has sure been busy for the Lesnars. We are now going into our 4th week of hockey practice. That consists of 6 nights a week at the rink and 3 of those nights we are there until after 9pm. Games start this coming weekend with Hunter traveling to SF and Pierre. Grace also has her first competition this weekend in SF. It is all a bit exhausting but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Today I cooked the majority of the day and got meals prepared for the whole week and in the freezer. I am hoping that will take off some of the pressure in the evenings.

We also have three birthdays sneaking up on us pretty fast. Hunter will be 13 on the 24th and then Logan and Austin have birthdays in December. We will officially have two teenage boys in this house. I will have to say I still think it will be easier then when we have one teenage daughter!!

My best friend

Sean and I went away last weekend mule deer hunting. We had an amazing weekend together and I got to see how truly dedicated he is to his hunting. Archery hunting is definitely a challenge and that I believe is what made it so much fun. After 9 hours of hunting the first day I was wiped out. I don't think I have ever climbed so many hills in my life. I would do it all over again in a heart beat!! We saw lots of mule deer, antelope, whitetail, jackrabbits, deer sheds and even a snake!! I can't wait to go back next year. Sean thanks for an amazing weekend of hunting I had so much fun with you.

Happy 13th Anniversary

Today is the day I married my Best Friend. What an amazing 13 years we have had I will have to say. We have been through a lot over the years that is for sure. Every milestone has grown us closer to one another!!
Happy Anniversary Love
