Road trip to Minot!! My cousin Sarah got married last weekend so Mom, Katelynn, Rachel, and I drove to Minot! It was fun hanging out with my Aunts, Uncles, and cousin Maggie!

Katelynn and Maggie dancing away!! I actually thought Katelynn would have a lot more fun at the dance then she did! We had dinner and then a bit of a wait before the dance and Katelynn got super tired!! Rach and I had fun dancing with Chuck, Dar, and Maggie...many times we realized we were the only people out there!!
Sarah and Mel

My favorite wedding date!

Sarah looked soooo beautiful! It was a beautiful ceremony!

Swimming Lessons for Katelynn!!

It took us a few years to get Katelynn to try swimming lessons again, but she did great this year! She was ready and willing to do everything! She went underwater many times AND even went off the diving board the last day!! The teacher had to drop her in the first time but she went back and did it by herself again and again! The teacher wasn't in the water to catch them, so I think that made her a little nervous but they all jumped in and just swam to the edge!! Her favorite part was at the end when they got to go down and watch the teachers swim underwater and do tricks through the window!!

Austin's Birthday....fun in the (hot) sun!

With the hot hot forcast for the day we set up the slip n slide and pool for Austin's party! It worked out great and had lots of fun!! Austin had an absolute blast and asked when we can do it again!

Zach, Tyden, Austin, and Eli....these boys had lots of giggles in the pool! Austin had fun pushing Zach and Eli in! But didn't like getting splashed himself!!

Nora and Elsie

Anniversary/Wedding weekend.....

Kyle, Chris, Mark, and Craig

We had WAY too much fun at the wedding reception! We were they VERY last people to leave the dance...headed back to the hotel and ordered Gina Maria's pizza (one of our fav's when we lived in Eden Prairie!)....and drove by our old house and it's for sale for about $75,000 less than we sold it for! WEIRD!

It's been a LONG time since we've seen these guys.....but it seemed like yesterday we were all hanging out at Concordia! (Casey, Kyle, Mark, and Craig) Chris and Aileen had a beautiful wedding in a beautiful rose garden!

Married 10 years! Can't believe it! This is all I came up with for a gift! Sad I know!
