Random Summer Pictures

A few random pictures that I never got posted from the summer months!

Express Game



My buddy, Avery, and I at the Express game!



Brenna never slows down at home, but take her to fireworks and she's out cold!

              We finally made it to the Mall of America!  Steve had a training in Cottage Grove and the kids and I decided to tag-along. We spent the day at the mall while Steve was at a training.

Hayward

Finally posting a post or two that have been almost ready to post for quite some time.....

We spent a four-day weekend in Hayward during the final weeks of my vacation.  It was SO nice to get away!  We enjoyed time in the hotel pool, the go-cart track, mini golfing, the lumberjack show and a little fishing.



Brenna loved feeding the fish at Wilderness Walk!



Brody loved the goats

                            Brenna liked the goats as long as they were not jumping up on her.

 The hotel had a pontoon to rent so we took it for a short ride. Brody was extremely nervous about it, but he ended up enjoying himself.

 It was fun to fish where the fish actually bite!  I didn't mind putting worms on a hook when I was little, but now it grosses me out. 

Serious fishing look..love her profile.

We went to the lumberjack show.  My pictures from that did not look right when I tried to transfer them from my phone to computer.  Brody was excited that there was a lumberjack named Brodie who he got his picture taken with. 


We enjoyed going out to eat and eating outside!



Three Birthdays and an Anniversary!

In August, we helped Papa celebrate his birthday with dinner and Dairy Queen cake at his house.

Brenna and Brody's great-grandma, De-De, also celebrated a birthday in August.  I don't know what I would do without my grandma! 

Lastly, Jaxon turned 6! He had a foam party at his house.  The kids had a blast!  Watching the kids in the foam was entertaining for the adults too!  I had fun taking pictures.

 

The whole gang!



   We also helped Nana and Papa celebrate 50 years of marriage. Nana said she was especially happy to reach this milestone as she doubted that she would a few times during her month long hospital stay.  Since Nana was not up to going out, we brought Famous Dave's to our house.  Steve's sister, Sheri, who was visiting from Illinois, and Darlene's sister, Zona, joined us.

Happy 50th!
