Happy 1st Birthday Tyden!!

Our nephew turned 1 on the 21st. We had his birthday party tonight..The kids LOVED the cupcakes and balloons! Tyden really liked his basketball hoop he got from his mommy and daddy!

Swimming

Katelynn and Austin both enjoyed the water. There was a little bit of beach the kids could play in. We were thinking the water would be too cold after the weather we have had, but it wasn't too bad!!

Weslake Resort

We had our annual gathering with Craig's family at the resort. The crowd just keeps on growing and the weather keeps getting nicer every year. The sun was out everyday and it got warmer everyday. The cousins all had fun running around and playing in the water. Katelynn had a lot of fun...even found some little girls to play with! Austin even liked being outside and seemed to like splashing around in the water and trying to eat sand. We enjoyed our nights back at Connie and Steve's when the kids were in bed and we could play cards. Everyone had enough sun by this afternoon so we piled in the Peterson van and drove home a little early.

Thanks for all the fun!

One step closer

Katelynn didn't feed the goat herself, but put food on the shovel for Daddy to feed it....baby steps, right??

RRV Fair!! It was kids day at the RedRiverValley Fair...free admission and Dora and Boots were there. It was an absolutely gorgeous day. Craig and I and the kids and Heidi and the boys all had so much fun. We ate lots of fried food for lunch!! (yay!) and decided to go on a few rides. To my surprise Katelynn had a blast on the rides!! She wanted to go on this rollercoaster and I thought...no way....I went with her and we laughed and said "weeeeee" the whole time!! The dragon ride and ferris wheel followed! We decided next year we are investing in wristbands for unlimited rides!

We went to Craig's cousins wedding this Saturday. This is the best picture I could get of the kids dressed up. I didn't have my camera the rest of the night, but Craig's sister got some good pictures of the dance. Check out Heidi's blog from our links.
Katelynn had a blast with her cousins and would have danced the night away all night!! Austin was really crabby from the wedding on....he finally fell asleep after his bottle at the dance so we were able to stay longer. It was good that we stayed as we missed the storms on the way home!

Swimming lessons!!

Katelynn is having a great time at swimming lessons. There are 4 little ones in her class. I am actually surprised she even put the life vest on and got in the water....she is usually scared of things, but has done really well! It is 30 minutes at night and goes for 2 weeks! I think her favorite thing is taking a shower after the lesson in the locker room!

10 months!!

I have been so much more fun now that I am sleeping better! My naps have been getting a little better too! Katelynn and I loved playing with mommy's storage bins on sunday!

Eating is a complete disaster!! Austin won't take anymore baby food...he likes to feed himself which means...MESS!! It goes everywhere from head to toe to floor!! He does get a few pieces in his mouth..he has discovered his odds are better if he uses both hands and stuffs his face!

It was so beautiful on Sunday we had to get outside. Uncle Joel invited us to the zoo! I have to say the RedRiverValley Zoo is not the greatest and costs a bit to get in...but the kids enjoyed it. Katelynn's favorite was the cow!! I think we will find them for free next time we are driving around!

Brady's Baptism

We went to Alexandria for Brady's baptism last saturday. He is such a good baby...and so cute too!!
