Independence Day

I absolutely love the 4th of July!  This year we combined Henry's birthday with a pre-fireworks BBQ with friends...so red, white, blue and teenage mutant ninja turtles. Land of the free!

We enjoyed a ward breakfast at the bishops, fun BBQ and party with friends followed by fireworks - where we lucked out with a not to busy or loud spot with an easy exit. Jackpot!  

Celebrating Henry's 4th on the 4th was a hit!

















Best friends reunion

Best friends are just better than anyone can describe. I absolutely love our annual get togethers with the Colgroves!  My kids look forward to it all year, as do I!

We had a blast boating and swimming, meeting baby Alice, getting shaved ice, watching movies, eating Sweet Tooth Fairy and reliving our college days. 

Can't wait until next year!










MN State Fair

Last year my parents were in town and we did the state fair for the first time. Fun, a definite experience, overload of fried everything and money-sucking rides but a good time had by all.

We weren't really planning on making it an annual thing and going back this year, but Madeleine won tickets at our local library - so off we went!
