Memorial Weekend in Minneapolis!!

Some highlights from our FABULOUS weekend!!

We ate just about every meal outside....it was cloudy, but mild. Here we are at the 8th street grill downtown for lunch. Bryant wanted us all to go to one of his favorites...Cane's, but it was closed for Memorial Weekend! He was excited to take Katelynn there because it only has chicken strips...her favorite.So, we ended up going near our hotel downtown. At least we got a peak at the Gopher football stadium..beautiful!!...and I love driving through that campus!

Gma Cella and Gma Penny babysat after the Twins game so we could go out for Craig's bday. We hung out at Hard Rock Cafe on the patio....Rachel was proud of her non-alcoholic fun drink! :)


More patio eating....Noodles & Co...which apparently we are getting in Fargo! :)

Waiting for the bus to take us to the game (raining)...Tyden could hardly stand the excitement!!
We were going to take the skyways because it was raining, but Tyden had been talking about the bus ALL day...we couldn't dissapoint him!

Here we are at Target Field...the rain stopped and the sun came out just when the gates opened!!

Pre-game nap! We walked around the stadium for awhile...Austin sat in our seats for awhile while Craig went up to get his free hot dog....He fell right asleep...about 20 minutes...woke up just in time to see T.C.'s homerun contest..I couldn't believe it!!

Check out these seats!! The boys had awesome seats....really close to the action! The girls sat a section closer to home and up further (Connie and Steve's tickets again!) Craig had bought a random family section ticket since we needed one more..he got a free hotdog. The seat next to all of us was open the whole game, so Katelynn didn't have to sit on laps! We had seats 9-12, the family next to us had 7-4...so 8 was a single! Perfect!!

1. Denard Span was signing autographs just before the game just down from them...didn't make it down to their seats, though!
2. Had a couple catches right in front of them!

3. Bryant got a foul ground ball hit by Denard Span in the 3rd inning!! Got on the jumbo tron and TV! AWESOME! He was so exited and did a big fist pump for the camera! Luckily I had brought a spare ball last minute so Austin could have one too, or there is usually tears if one gets a ball and the other doesn't....Austin is now telling people "Daddy got a ball too, in the 5th inning!!" hahah...totally made that up!! :)

Beautiful night at Target field! Gma Cella's first Twins game!! She had a BLAST! 4 generations at the game!Katelynn was concerned it was getting past her bedtime...she didn't want the game to go into "overtime"!! :) However, it did! Twins won in the bottom of the 10th 1-0!!! It was SOOOOOO exciting! We cheered soooo hard!! I thought Thome was going to hit a walk-off in the 9th when he pinch it..guess we had to wait one more inning!!

Hung out at Edinbourough Park in Edina on Sunday...Craig calls it McDonald's playland on steroids...it is huge and fun and super tiring (especially for adults trying to crawl around in there)!!

We had a great weekend! Great weather, great game, great times!!!

New Piano!!

We got a used piano from the Concordia Music Dept. on Wednesday! Katelynn is soooooo excited as am I!!!! (actually she said she is MORE than excited!). Thanks to Todd, Emily, Bryant, and Uncle Kris for helping us move it and get it safely into our house!!!

Great Mother's Day Weekend!!

Saturday was about as perfect a day one can have....we left early and headed down to Gustavus (back roads of course!) to watch the Cobbers....absolutely beautiful day!! We camped out on our blanket and watched a double header. Cobbers lost 2. As you can see, Austin got a little baseball in too! After the game we went to one of our old favorite pizza places in Savage...the Tin Shed. Katelynn loved the story that the last time I was there I went into labor with her that night!! The pizza was GREAT!! We made a quick stop to see Craig's Aunt and Uncle in Hopkins (Austin got a little more baseball in and a helmet from Alec)...then on to our hotel! Apparently our room wasn't ready at 8:00pm so they upgraded us to a suite!! It was fantastic!!

Sunday wasn't so perfect......rain, rain, rain. The Cobbers were suppose to play in St. Cloud, but it got rained out. My family had drove down to meet us and we all had to head home. However, the Redhawks had an exhibition game that we all went to. It was fun to get out to Newman (we got into the game even though my mom brought Mondays tickets instead of Sunday!)...Austin remembered all the players and their numbers!!

Thanks for a great weekend! I got 2 fabulous gifts from my 2 fabulous kids!! :)

Meet the newest memeber of the Gulsvig family.....

Hazel Kae (stolen from Becky's blog) :)

My cousin Becky and Tyler had a sweet adorable girl!! She is the newest addition to the Gulsvig's and we can't wait to meet her! (PS...there will be another addition to the family in December..Rachel is pregnant!!)

Easter at the Lake!!

Austin played baseball all day Saturday and some of Sunday!! We were so happy to be outside...Alec did a great job pitching!

We had a new guest for Easter this year.....he was strange! :)

Austin and Zoe dyeing eggs!

Austin and Zoe doing a little fishing (with the baseball helmet on!! haha!)

Katelynn stayed locked in this room because there was a dog there...however, she discovered she loves playing piano! Eli and Katelynn spent most of Sunday playing...we are now in the hunt for a piano and hoping to do lessons next fall!! YAY!!

We had a great Easter!
Good food, good weather, games, family, easter egg hunt, and finding Easter baskets!! FUN!
