PBS Magazine

Jude is going to be on this month's PBS magazine cover. We thought he was the cutest kid there....obviously we were right!

Grandma's Marathon Weekend

Sweet Moves

We had a great Sunday fun day. We celebrated our friend Milan's birthday and the end of another Grandma's marathon weekend. It was a great weekend filled with lot's of friends and family. We made the most out of Grandmas weekend with playing at the whippersnapper races on Friday with Judes cousins and then watching the marathon on Saturday morning. Saturday afternoon we danced at the tents to GB Lighton and topped it all off with a bbq on Sunday. Summer is here and we could not be happier!

Happy Summer is here!

Jude has been really busy playing outside since the weather has finally warmmed up. We love our new yard free of rocks and ponds. Lot's of room to run around, it is the best. Now if we could just keep him from running away from us and into the street that would be even better!

Party on the payground

Boys

Some of Jude's cousins came over for a pre-Grandma's marathon party on Friday. We went to the whippersnapper races had pizza and played outside. It was a really fun day for all of the kids. The dads broke in the new keg-a-rator, so it was a fun day for them too.

Happy Family

Here is the happy family! Brian is giving me his best "Blue Steel"

Baby Cal

A week ago today we welcomed the newest member to out ever growing family, baby Cal. Amanda, Brian and Cal make a beautiful family!

Elmo Elmo Every Where

Jude's Auntie Sweetie sent him an Elmo costume among many other Elmo items from CA. Jude really thinks he is great when he wears it. Thank you for all of the Elmo stuff Auntie Sweetie.

I Love My Swing Set

Nana and Papa visited on Sunday and brought stuff down for the Park Point garage sale next weekend (yuck!) Liesl came over and everyone had a fun time playing outside!

PBS Kids Club Circus

Jude had a great time at the PBS, Kids Club Circus on Saturday. He was so excited he did not know which way to go first. He played games...ok, he walked right in front of the kids waiting to play games, grabbed the toy and ran off to the next event. Oh well, we are still working on sharing. No one said anything about standing in line and waiting your turn. I guess that's next. He went inside a fire truck, played with bubbles, ate ice cream and popcorn and fell asleep in the car on the way home. What a great day!

Wow a Boat

Nana took a cute picture of Jude and Liesl watching the big boat go through the canal.

Patio in the making

Jude had a blast watching the cement trucks and all of the guys working!

The framing and rebar

Pouring the cement

There it is, the patio that was just under 5 years in the making. Not to mention Burke's handy work with the play set.

There is nothing like eating your first corn on the cob of the season outside...on your patio! No more rocks, ponds or plants just concrete and grass, just the way we like it!!!
