Burkemper Life: February of FUN

The month of February was filled with FUN at home (and one weekend trip to the ranch)! It was nice to just be home and hang out as a family. We spent the majority of our evenings with the TV on, which is rare, but we were soaking up the Olympic Games. We hosted a BBQ one weekend, it was nice to meet all the husbands of my friends from the mom's group. It was interesting playing goalie with 8 toddlers as they tried to gain access to the BBQ pit. Carsten had some trouble "sharing" his toys and had a HUGE problem when momma held another baby, COMPLETE MELTDOWN. He is a tough little booger and knows what he wants when he wants it...and, nothing will stop him. He thinks he is a 10 year and on top of that he is one of the smallest kiddos. I love his head strong attitude, but oh goodness I am not looking forward to picking him up from the principals office because he beat up someone on the playground.

At the end of the month we visited the Stone's at their ranch just southwest of Forth Worth. Scott had training in Dallas all week, so Carsten and I drove up on Friday morning. We picked up daddy from his hotel room then went to visit Jen Matson who was in town for a trade show. It was AWESOME to see her and catch up. Hope it happens more often! After our visit we headed to Stonecrest and had another amazing weekend! The pics and video below can tell the story of our weekend.

Fun times with Jen

Carsten loves all the puppies, but Annie always comes in for a quick kiss and then dashes away. And, he loved this little rocking chair.

It was a bit cold in the morning, so we had to bundle up in our fleece, hat and gloves. He will actually help you put on the gloves because he knows he gets to go outside.

Bisquits (or toast) and gravy at Mary's

Carsten wasn't scared to hop on up with dad.

Harley is the oldest of the puppies (13) and is never far from Carsten's side. Before we left Carsten was trying to give him a kiss, Harley kept turning his head, so Carsten bent down and gave him a hug.

We went for a long walk to feed the horses. On the way back, Carsten wanted to hold daddy's hand...then I his little legs were tired and he wanted a ride.
