Softball Tournament

This last saturday Perry, Tim and Andy played in a softball tournament. It was cold and windy and it even rained a little bit during the day. But we all survived and even enjoyed ourselves. Evie and Micah enjoyed playing in the grass and dirt and didn't mind that it was a little cooler, they just loved being outside. The guys did very well, they got 5th place.

Enjoy the pictures!!

Labor Day

On Monday, September 3rd we went to Baker Park with Andy's parents and Krista, Micah and Ben. We had hotdogs on the grill, chips, carrots, watermelon and homemade cookies!!! yummy! The day was so beautiful, there was a nice breeze and it wasn't too hot. After we ate lunch we played on the play ground for awhile. There weren't any little swings so Grandma B took Evie for a swing on the tire swing. Then we walked down to the beach and put our toes in the water. Both Micah and Evie really wanted to put their whole bodies in the water, but we didn't bring our swimming suits. We had a wonderful day together!!:)

Evie is 11 months old!

Sorry that it has taken me so long to write on our blog. We have been busy hanging out with family, Andy started a new job, and Evie and I just got sick this last week. But I just wanted to post some pictures that I took last week of Evie when she turned 11 months old. It is so hard to believe that she will be 1 at the end of this month. She is just a little thing and doesn't weight much at all. But she loves exploring around our house and getting into anything that she can. She is also working on her 5th tooth, I think that is why she isn't feeling good.

Enjoy that pictures!

MN State Fair!!

Yesterday we went to the State Fair! The day started out overcast, windy and a little cooler. But we didn't mind, it was nice not to have it be so hot. We went earlier in the morning and left in the early afternoon. We had a great time looking at all the animals and tasting lots of good food:)

Here are Andy and Evie all set to walk around the fair!

Our first stop was the birthing barn, Evie got to get up close and personal with a pregnant cow.

Evie even got to see some sheep!

Evie enjoyed seeing everything from up high on daddy's back!

Evie's first taste of french fries, she loved them and wanted more!!

We took a stop to take a rest and make a diaper change.

Evie waving at daddy.

Evie got tired from all the fun things that we did, so she decided to take a little nap. While she was napping we got to watch the lumberjacks! It was loud so Evie didn't sleep very long.

At the end of our day we found a grassy spot to let Evie out and stretch her legs. While we sat in the grass, Andy had to get his footlong hotdog and bottomless glass of milk. yummy!!! We had a great time taking Evie to the fair for her first time. I even think that we will go back next year!

Mall of America

This past Saturday we wanted to do something outside, but because it was raining we decided to go to the Mall of America!! We had a great time walking around, looking at the different stores and people watching too. Evie had a great time because there were a lot of new things to look at and who wouldn't want to get pushed around in a stroller all day!! We didn't really buy anything but lunch and some ice cream, it was more fun to just look.

Just before we went home we had to stop at Lego Land so that I could take a picture of Evie and her daddy! Aren't they cute?!

Another Family Reunion

This last weekend we went to wisconsin for my mom's family reunion. We stayed with my mom's younger brother Jeff and his wife Janet and their two kids, Matthew and Rachel. We had a great time seeing them again, and seeing all of our other family too.

Como Zoo

On Wednesday August 8th, we went to the Como Zoo. We went with Grandma Bailey, Krista and her boys, Micah and Ben. We had a great time looking at all the animals and watching all the people too! Evie and Micah sure had it great, they got to ride in strollers. Ben got a ride from his mommy in the carrier.

Here is Evie just taking it all in!

Micah and grandma B had lots of fun together. Micah was a little overwhelmed at all the things to look at. I don't think that he said two words the whole day, he was just busy lookin!!

Evie and Micah got to sit in a train together.

Here we are looking at the monkeys.

There was also a little park with lots of rides. The kids were a little too small to go on any, but we found something for Micah to play on. He thought that these trucks were so much fun. He didn't want to get off and go home!!! We had a great day at the Zoo!!
