TIGF - Nisswa Style!

We're almost done with our trip by now, we'll be home very soon, but this week I'm thankful for family trips to the lake. I won't know until after you read this how it went with 4 kids under the age of 3 but I know for sure I will have enjoyed myself! Shopping, fishing, turtle races and mini golf are all part of the plan so even if it's chaos it will be great. I'm only sad that this might be our last time at Lake Hubert. We are outgrowing the house and they are kinda phasing out renting the place we normally stay at so hopefully we can find SOME place that will compare! GREAT memories there!!

Trips to the Park

I know I have posted about Josh taking Riley to the park on nights that I work before, but he took some really great shots the last time he took her. This was a park that is a lot farther from our house, but it's kinda his special park to play with her at...he jogs there and she rides in the "buggy" and they play before he jogs back.

(Don't worry, Linda, I'll get these on snapfish as soon as I can.)

More Pics from Mike and Pat's Visit

I think i'm almost all caught up now. These are the tail end of the pictures from when my aunt and uncle were in town. I think they were amazed at how bubbles can make kids SCREAM!!!

Softball Break in the Action

Today is Josh's last game for his Eagan League and Monday is the last of the regular season for Booyah! Team...of course there's still Fall ball and Duck Soup on the horizon, but at least there will be a few nights that w can call our own again. Hopefully the blogging will stay regular from now on! I forgot the camera so no pics of the season finale though...

I do have some pics of our play date with Jess and Noah on Friday though...

A Visit From the South

Again, I'm running about a week behind, so bear with me...Last weekend my aunt and uncle from Arizona headed North to escape the 115+ heat in the desert! Well, actually they had planned to come over the 4th, but that trip had to be rescheduled last-minute. We had the fam over for dinner at my parent's house so they could meet all the kids and we could spend some quality play time on the deck.

TIGF

I know I missed one last week. I thought about it, but I wondered if I was going to be repeating myself. I'm thankful for play dates and a healthy kiddo this week and I know that both are repeats. But my sister's neighbor had a 5 month old who may be dying so that always brings my perspective back to my own healthy kid. And I'm thankful for play dates because I know of at least one person who has a 3 year old and she doesn't have anyone to play with and it makes me sad that Riley is her only real friend. So sometimes, I'm thankful for the same things over and over again for different reasons! Yeeesh...kinda a downer day...I promise happier subjects to come!!!!

Last of the Teddy Bears

Here's the rest of the good stuff from TBB on Saturday last weekend.
