Saturday we helped my dad and step-mom move from City life in Duluth to Country living in Gibbon. I am just so excited to have them closer. Instead of a 6 hour drive it's only an hour. Needless to say i didn't help out to much yesterday because of Abrielle getting into everything but Jason worked hard. I just enjoyed taking pictures of their lovely home. It actually reminds me of the Brady Bunch home from the outside.

Living Room upstairs

Dining Room

Kitchen...the first on their to do list is updating the kitchen. They have new appliances ordered..and laying Ceramic Tile. I agree this kitchen is a tad outdated.

Hallway to 3 bedrooms and a full Bath

Basement...is HUGE!!!

Fireplace that has never been used

This is a picture from a room in the basement that my dad is going to use as a woodworking shop..but as i look at it.I call it my ghostly picture..just seem like spirits are in the picture...call me crazy..

Now isn't this a kodak Moment. As the boys were bringing the Fridge downstairs they realized they have to take the handrail off before it will go down. So here is Jason and John holding on to the fridge while my dad takes off the handrail.......

Hunter Waving down the Fire Truck. They were giving rides around town.

Me sporting my new Sunglasses Jason's sisters helped me pick out the night before..i know i am a "Rockstar" HA

Walker....in Training!

So my little girl decided she needed to keep up her her brothers and learn how to walk. She just grabbed that walker and took off. I couldn't believe it.

Lakes & Parades

June has been flying by. We have been enjoying the beautiful weather. Granted it has rained alot but these 90 degree days are making up for it. We have also been busy attending the area parades Windom's Riverfest and Mt. Lake's Pow Wow. Ethan and Hunter were so lucky to be in the Pow Wow parade with Grandpa and Dad. We also spend alot of time out at Cottonwood Lake trying to cool off. Even Abrielle enjoys taking a "dip" in the water.
Hope you all are having a Great Summer! Take Care

June already?!?

So, i thought i would write a little update. Seems to be a once a month occasion i write a blog. Hope to get better (i say that everytime). School is winding down now for Austin and Ethan. Tomorrow is their last day. Can't believe it. Next week they both have Vacation Bible School and Day camp so that will keep them busy for awhile. Austin won 1st place in his Bike Rodeo at school. Ethan won a new helmet in his class. So, they have been pretty lucky. Maybe i should have them buy me a powerball ticket ;)

I enjoyed chaparoning Ethan's Field trip the the US Fish and Wildlife Center. It was actually alot of fun and very educational. We went for a walk down the paths to find the Trumpeter Swans and i have never heard a group of Kindergarteners so quiet in my life! It was so relaxing listening to the nature and of course we did find the Swans!

Hunter ohhhhh he is just the same little boy. He has been begging dad to take him fishing. He loves to sit in the boat and pretend.

And then there is little Abrielle, where do i begin. She is growing everyday. Learning how to stand up holding on to things. We even have her first tooth coming in. So exciting! Well, i honestly can't believe it's June already. This year is sure flying by. I decided to do a little Daycare makeover and paint my walls. Needless to say i am not quite finished but hope to get it done during my vacation week. *fingers crossed* I had my daycare relicensing last week and passed so pretty relieved by that. Good for 2 more years! Jason has been busy at work as usual. He is already counting down to Bear Hunting season. Checked his hunting cameras for the first time yesterday and had mommy doe and her baby fawn. So adorable.

Hope you are all doing well.
