Hanging with Family

Since our time in Wyoming the kids and I have been busy. Thanks to many prayers we safely made it to Des Moines, IA to see our friends without any problems. The highlight of the drive was watching my kids sound asleep from the rear view mirror. I couldn't resist taking some video. I was laughing out loud to myself.


The next stop after an amazing time hanging out with our good friends was Grandma Suzanne's and Papo's house in St. Cloud, MN. Here we also got to see Uncle Jon, Aunt Lacey and new baby cousin Ahna, as well as, Aunt Tina. We had so much fun holding new baby cousin, going to water parks, and seeing uncle John playing Softball. The best part is that we get to go back and spend
some more time with them. Next time I need to get some pics with Grandma Suzanne!



After spending 5 Days it was back to Minneapolis to spend some time with Boppa and Grandma Jane. We have kept hoppin with a shopping trip to IKEA (Yeah!!!), a shopping trip without the kids to the outlet mall thanks to Uncle Johnny and one of his girl friends. And a July 4th spent at a local park with lots to do and a kids concert by the "Splatter Sisters" one of them was my old director of a kids singing group I was in. Then of course, we went to a BBQ at friends lakehouse and topped the night off with Fireworks. And if it sounds like we have been busy....it's not even nearing the end of the agenda. We are going to the Science Museum to see the Star Wars Exhibit, fishing on Boppa's boat, and checking out a couple of movies the kids have been wanting to see, not to mention catching up with friends. We will head back to St. Cloud and spend more time with Grandma Suzanne, Papo and Family. So needless to say we have been to busy to even think about blogging. I am so happy to be spending time with family. Although we all are really missing Daddy! We can't wait to start having some BBQ's of our own with all of you back home! Here are some more highlights from Boppa and Grandma Jane's!
