7 Years

Today marks Nate and my seven year wedding anniversary. I can't believe we've been married for seven years already! God has provided many trials these last seven years; but I would not have had it any other way. That's because I believe they are the reasons our marriage is as strong and wonderful as it is today. I feel so blessed to have Nate as my husband, father to our three beautiful children and best friend.

Nate, I love you so much and everyday grow to love you more and more. Thank you for all you do for the kids and I. I look forward to celebrating many more blessed years with you. Happy Anniversary, Nate!!!

Fun Windy Activity

Recently the weather has been a little chillier and windier than normal, but not bad enough to ignore playing outside. That's right, the kiddos have taken advantage of these windy days by flying their kite.

Bike Helmets

Last night, Nate and I took the kids to Blaine's Annual Youth's Bike Helmet Fitting. It's a great program put on by the police and fire departments. I highly recommend any parent in the Anoka County to take advantage of this. The departments specialize in making sure your child has the correct size bike helmet for only $12.

Now to the funny story of the night...the police put a 3+ year old helmet on Caleb and the helmet was way too tight. She then put on the next size, 5+ year old helmet and it fit perfectly. Ironically, it was the same size as Elyse's helmet, yet the police said hers was a little loose but the 3+ would be too small. Well we are hopeful we won't have to buy Caleb a new bike helmet for a few years ;)

Celebrating Easter

This Easter was very simple, yet wonderful. We celebrated it by attending church and doing other traditional Easter activities.

We color dyed our Easter eggs

We read the Easter story and shared the story through resurrection eggs

Elyse and Caleb went on their Easter egg hunt in the backyard and then opened all their eggs of goodies

Opened Easter baskets.

Lastly, the least succesful activity...trying get good Easter pictures

We hope you too had a blessed and memorable Easter.

He Is Risen

We just wanted to wish you all a Happy Easter. We pray that you take a moment and reflect the true meaning behind Easter. We are so thankful for our Lord in Savior, Jesus Christ who died for our sins and rose again so we could be free.

So on behalf of the Klauser family, may you have a blessed Easter!

Couldn't Resist

Just before Kallen was born I came across two identical shirts in both Caleb and Kallen's sizes and totaling under $3, so it's no surprise that I couldn't resist not buying them. I don't plan on always matching my boys, but I also know this will not be the last time I do it. It's one of the many reasons it's great to have two children of the same gender.

Tot Time

Almost every Monday and Tuesday, our local YMCA hosts a "Tot Time" for kids under five. It's a great activity that involves an open gym with trikes, tents, tunnels, cars, balls and other gym activities. It's open for two hours and only costs $2 per child. We often join our friends which makes it even more enjoyable. I would really recommend attending a "Tot Time" if you live in Anoka County.

Elyse spent most of her time playing with the buckets, bouncy ball and running around.

It's no surprise that Caleb spent most of his time in the cars :)

And Kallen spent majority of this time doing what he does most, sleep
