This weekend we had a house full of visitors....
College ladies:myself, Tara, Meghan, and Shannon.
After two years (Shannon/Mike's wedding) of not seeing each other, us college ladies had a sleep over along with our little people.
We made a trip to the Willmar pool then pizza and hanging out/catching up!
Calvin came to play w her son Kaleb and Breck played (was jealous of) her lil man Cam! We missed out on seeing our buddy Arlo,but was under the weather so stayed home with his dad.
Like always we were sad to say goodbye...but promised we would TRY harder to see each other sooner!

Strike!
Last week on a rainy day we went bowling since our local center has free bowling for k-12th grade everyday from 2-6!
Great deal...
And so much fun!
It was Brecks first time bowling.
His first game first frame was a spare
And second game first frame was a strike!!
Breck had A LOT of extra help too.
The best was the last few frames Breck was over it....
So being the clown he is
He decided to use his head to push the ball down the lane :)

My little scooter...
Breck got a scooter for his birthday and just recently learned to ride it
after watching Calvin ride his new scooter he got for his birthday too.
Now he's on the go go go!
I recently took a trip to the Albertville mall and to have lunch with a good friend and her cute baby boy. On the way home I looked back to a little boy snoring and found this....
He slept like this all the way home!!
The other night while camping out at the lake I was putting this boy to bed in the cabin,
I noticed that he falls asleep by putting the blanket over his head!
I told my mom about it and she laughed and told me that is exactly what my brother used to do!
Soooooo funny.
Sooooo much in common (looks and acts)
Soooo scary....for me!

Fathers Day weekend
This weekend we made a trip to Mankato to celebrate a friends 30th birthday!
It was great...dinner out, stayed at a cabin, boat rides and bonfires!
(I thought these pictures of him sneaking into our picture explains just who is...a big dork we love! Or maybe we just love hanging out with his wife and two adorable kids with a new little one on the way!)
On Sunday the boys hit a round of golf at North Links in North Mankato before hitting the road for home. ALWAYS hard to at bye.
That night we had dinner with my dad then a stop at the lake to see Jerod's dad then home for snuggles, books, then bed.
We ended up waking up Breck n hour later because of tornado sirens going off then a 2nd snuggle time and back to bed!
Always a busy entertaining weekend :) I heart summer!!
Happy fathers day to a couple best dads & grandpa Tommy's I know!!!

Picnic
Today we had a picnic lunch at Lake Ripley Memorial Park.
It's kind of a bummer that
a). The beach area had chiggers and isn't kept up like it should be
b). The playground equipment is older then dirt, not kid friendly at any age, and is/ looks dangerous.
It's such a nice play to go for a picnic and cool of with the lake breeze.
I remember loving to play on the ole anchor and army truck just as much as they did today. Just wish for a better park for our kids and community....
Well some wonderful friends/parents are doing just that!!!!
A petition is being signed to have a community built playground (like the amazing one in Spicer)!

Much thanks ahead of time!

Cooling off with a car wash!
The kids informed me today that we like to have a lemonade stand this summer...
That's do..able!
Then they added with a car wash..
Not so sure about that!
Running around chasing each other with the hose for hours + a semi clean car = win win!

Fall like summer days!
Today is nice.
The type of weather I adore and wish for it all year long....70 degrees.
So for lunch we built a bonfire in the back yard and used our new hot dog roaster and flipper that is like a fishing pole that grandpa "tommy" (that's what Breck has been calling him) got for the kids while in his fishing trip.
So we made hotdogs and for dessert s'mores! It was so fun!
The kids claim"this was the best say ever"!
I agree!
