Wedding No. 453

Okay, so I'm exaggerating, but we spent this weekend at Rob and Angela's wedding, our 7th of the summer. Natalie was able to come to the reception because grandpa and grandma were with us. But she found the toys more exciting! We have one more wedding on Labor Day weekend, and then I think the marathon wedding summer is done! We were able to show Natalie at a young age where her food comes from! Natalie also got to "meet" uncle Matt again, she took to him right away, walking around saying Mah, Mah, Mah!

Cabin Adventures

Natalie and I just got back from a week at Judy's Cabin with the Gustafson Clan. It was mostly just the girls as all our men had to work this week. We had a great, busy time. Joey thinks Natalie grew and learned so much in that week! She followed Ev and Emilia around all week, so she learned a few things about being more brave. She even walked into the lake on the last day -- big step which Evelyn was there to witness!

Too much fun

We had a great time at the beach at Lake Minnetonka Regional Park this morning with a ton of cousins. Alana and the girls, Lucy and Molly, Ingrid and Mattie were all there with us. Natalie started to fall asleep on the way home, but of course once we get home, she doesn't want to nap. It's been an afternoon of whiney pants. Thanks Alana for the great pic of Natalie shoving a sandwich in her mouth!

Busy weekend

Natalie is a crabby little girl today, probably because she had such a fun-filled weekend of haircuts, Twins games and whatever else she could convince Mom and Dad was a good idea.

Hope you had a fun weekend too!

Cabin Trek

We had a good time at the cabin this weekend, even if the weather didn't cooperate (at least not until Sunday). Natalie did a good job of showing Grandma Lee and Grandpa Kent all of the nooks & crannies at the lake place. I'm pretty sure I caught a bunch of fish and won every game of cribbage but my memory isn't what it used to be so it's hard to say...

My Husband's a Rock Star!

Joey completed the Lifetime Triathlon Olympic Distance race today! He swam .9 mile, biked 25 miles and ran a 10K. He did awesome. Natalie and I are very proud of our man! Oh yeah, the other pic is Natalie giving him a pep talk at dinner the night before the race!

Rocky Weekend!

The weekend started nice, with great-grandma stopping by for a visit on Thursday afternoon. It took Natalie a while to warm up, but by the end of the visit, she let her read a book! Then Natalie, Joey and I headed up to the cabin for what should have been a long weekend. Carl brought his girlfriend Ashley, Karin brought her boyfriend Andy and Craig and Linda were going to meet us there on Saturday. Well, we lasted about 24 hours. Natalie wouldn't sleep on Thursday night, not until Joey drove her around at 4 a.m. She was then cranky all day Friday, working on 5 hours of sleep, a crazy excited dog and some people she didn't know very well. When we tried to go to sleep on Friday night, she cried from 9-11 when we finally drove home. So we spent the 4th at home. We made some tasty steaks and, because I'm the most competitive person ever, I had to show up my brother and make pop-overs. They were AWESOME! Today was a good day, we went to the new Robbinsdale Splash Pad, which Natalie really likes, painted the steps, went to the Y and now are getting ready for summer school tomorrow. Hopefully we'll make it up to the cabin again before the summer's over! Hope everyone had a good weekend! There are more pics in a new album for your entertainment! =)
