Summertime in Minnesota ...

Swimming with friends, outings with dad on family day & hangin out on the patio trying to stay cool (our hose was broken, so the tub was the best I could do, lol! It has since been fixed!). Just some random pics of summertime here in MN ... I love the way summer is savored here, every ounce of it!

Father's Day with Dad Treg

Since Nate's dad helped us drive back from MD, he got to stay and be with us for Father's Day weekend! 1st week home and Nate broke out the smoker and smoked some DELICIOUS ribs for an early Father's Day rib feast. It was a beautiful day, great food, and a tremendous blessing to have "Poppy" here with us for that special occasion. Here are a few pics ...

Army Crawl Cal

Cal is 8 and a half mos and has been mobile since

about 6 mos! The other 2 kids didn't crawl till they

were 10 mos old. He is starting to get up on his knees

and crawl, but this is his preferred mode of transportation.

He is even starting to try and pull himself up on things as

of this week! And I thought Chason kept me busy, lol!
