Gopher/Twins weekend in Minneapolis!!

Great weekend get away!

Everybody randomly decided to go to this weekend's Gopher game!!

Tailgating with Lynne Kovash before the game!!! What an atmosphere!!

Great time!!

And yes, I am proud of myself for learning how to merge photos and get the best picture of everyone!! :)

Bryant's brother Brett and Heather joined us as well!!

Discussing the statistics of the game I'm sure!!

Awesome seats, Craig!! Way to go!!

Super Super fun game! Gophers win!!!!

Look familiar? (Seattle?) HAHA!!

We stayed at Bobbie Jo and Derek's friday night! They are fantastic hosts and went the EXTRA mile and picked us up at the hotel where we left our car and dropped us off at the stadium while they went to Derek's aunt's house to park! We were going to walk to our hotel after, but instead we walked with them to the car and they brought us to our hotel! They are the BEST!!

Our evening downtown stroll and the Stone Arch Bridge!

Craig wanted to walk after the game over the this bridge....since Bobbie Jo and Derek dropped us off we decided to walk across it after supper at the Old Spaghetti Factory! It was a few blocks from our hotel and and an absolutely BEAUTIFUL night to hang out!!

Seats with a view!! Twins game Sunday (way up high!)

Since our East Coast trip, the kids think it's fun to sit WAY up high! We were three rows from the top!

The very top corner of Target Field! I have to admit it was fun to look at the city!!

LOVED the nachos in a helmet!! :):)

Running the bases!! Austin and I stayed after to run the bases, while Craig and Katelynn rode the light rail back to the hotel to get the car!

 

Austin and I walked out of the stadium just as Craig was turning on to the same street....we couldn't of even planned it better...they picked us up and we headed right onto 394!! Picked up a "Jimmy's" pizza in Albany on the way home...(the restaurant search called it Jimmy's, but they answered as Albany's pizzeria!!) It did taste like Jimmy's!!

What a FANTASTIC weekend!!!!

Cobber football!

A new season has arrived! Everything has switched into football gear!! The boys were sooo excited to play on the hill!! It was a beautiful day for Cobber football!! (Katelynn stayed with Papa to help with Tate!) :)

First Day of School!!!

Can't believe my baby is going to school! I was glad I had to work early so there were no tears shed by me (I had plenty the day before!!). The week was full of trying to get to bed early and adjust our schedules and routines for back to school! Katelynn loves her teacher and loves school...Austin is still trying to get used to being gone all day. It's been a long week for him and gets sad when Craig drops him off! The organizing of drop off/pick up has been really unorganized at Austin's school! Craig found Austin in the bus line the first day and that's what his card said on his backpack!! yikes!! So we didn't have a very good start on the first day! We have heard many horror stories from other families too!!

He seems to have a few stories at night, so hopefully he will find his routine too! I am hoping for a better week this week!! He got a $dollar$ from Craig on Friday for finally remembering his coat and lunch box to bring home!! :)

I thought we would "practice" lunch for Austin the day before school starts...we had to make sure he could open everything in his cold lunch! What a great idea to have a picnic at the park......OR NOT! We were immediately surrounded by bees which I can't stand! So, we ate in the van and played after!! Good thing was, Austin could open everything!! :)

Labor Day Weekend!

What a great end to a GREAT summer!!

We spent the day on Lake Jewett in Gpa Steve and Gma Connie's new boat!

Kids took a break swimming and jumping off a raft!

Campfire time! The kids thought it was pretty funny to switch shirts!!
