these kids make me do such crazy things.....just so i can see them smile! i decorated the house, made everyone homemade valentines, made the kids a special valentine's garment (second year doing that....so much fun!!), and we even ate heart shaped ravioli for dinner....ha ha!!!

our first music video "thank you"

after dragging my feet with a traditional "thank you", i felt obligated to come up with something quite spectacular....because it's important to be thankful:) a new tradition, you ask.....i'm thinking so!!

we went up to minneapolis last weekend to watch cohen wrestle, the kids LOVE watching him! cohen did a super job, and has such an amazing sense of true sportsmanship....we were all extremely proud of him!

after the tournament we headed into uptown minneapolis for the mangerson tradition of finding a sweet coffee shop, playing at the walker, and the newest addition to our uptown tradition, burgers at burger janes.....such a fun day!!!

on the car ride to mn we worked on a few signs for cohen....and cheers:)

"c-o-h-e-n, cohen, cohen, get the pin"

ryder trying out a few of his moves....ha ha:)

quinn coming in for some love:)

the weekend flew by, and was way too short. both the boys were in tears when we had to leave, wishing we lived closer to eachother. here's to having awesome cousins!!!
