B-E-A-utiful!

The kids after church on grandpa "vrooms" motorcycle

What a weekend! The weather was beautiful!
We got some flowers planted on Sunday, fertilized the grass and had a grill out for dinner with grandma and grandpa!
What a great way to spend the weekend!

(pictures to come tomorrow. I have plenty of invitations that won't make themselves and deadlines to meet, so I will catch up with blogging tomorrow.)

all in a day's fun!

Abby with her puppy...she loves to just hang out with Bauer and lay on him...they are buddies!

Chase asked today if he could see himself as a baby. I got out his baby book, that I made him and both him and Abby looked through the whole book. They laughed at a lot of the pictures, like Chase's first Twins game...they thought that was funny. What a fun thing for them to do.

This week I had to do two...Nephew and Niece...

Like mother...Like daughter!

She takes after her mama!

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY!!

Happy Memorial Day!

We spent out Memorial day swimming, at the park and grilling out with friends! We had a blast and so did all the kids!

Playing baseball in his new helmet!

Swinging, what else would she be doing?!

Swimming

Today we went swimming in Nick and Sara's pool. It was definitely not a sunny swimming day, but that didn't stop the kids. It was windy, but the water was warm, like bath water. Chase finally figured out that his life jacket makes him float and he doesn't have to hold onto people to stay above water, he even jumped off the side by himself!

Our little fish

Have to add a football into the mix of things

Abby, attempting to get in with daddy

Hanging out with daddy

Ready...set...

...jump!

He loves his uncle Nicko!

Jumping in!

Sleeping beauty!

Abby decided to take an early snooze tonight! I definitely soaked up the cuddle time!

An adorable outfit that I couldn't resist, when I went shopping this weekend. I am crossing my fingers that it is a boy! We'll find out in December...I hope I can wait that long!

The Twins game!

We got to go to the Twins game tonight with NO kids! We had a lot of fun with Katie and Adam...thanks for the tickets Adam!

Kid-free parents!

Joe Mauer...this one is for Chase...his favorite Twins player

TC the bear, then Twins mascot

I had to take a picture with him, to show Chase that he isn't scary

Chase's present that he waited up for us to give him. A Twins batting helmet with Tony Oliva's signature on it. (Tony played for the Twins a long time ago and was a great player and is retired now) He sat right behind us, so I asked him to sign Chase's helmet I bought.

Pretty cool!

He even slept with it that night!

Stacking pegs...

I have these fun peg boards, that the kids love to build towers with. They see who can buile the highest one without falling over.

Then...when they fall over, they dance around in a circle.

It is really funny!

She loves her puppy...just not sure how much he loves her being used as a pillow and sometimes even a step stool.

Nap time came early for our little princess. Good thing she has SUCH a GREAT brother!
