Celebrating 41 and 12

Over the weekend I turned 41 and Paul and I celebrated 12 years of marriage.  We spent a couple of days in the beautiful town of Ely, MN.  Better yet...Paul planned the whole weekend and surprised me by having our good friends join us!  (Mom....THANK YOU for babysitting!)

There were definitely comments made about the name of this establishment.

Deer Ridge Resort....Perfectly Peaceful

We sat on the dock for a couple hours and truly enjoyed the sunset.  

If you look VERY closely...I was able to catch the heat lightening

Tball - learning how to field the ball

After 3 weeks of tball,  Carson is getting the hang of 'fielding'.  His reaction time needs a bit of work, and the whole 'pig-pile' thing needs to be the topic of an after team meeting I think.  He is #11.

 

We Love Summer

For anyone following this blog: no comments that it has been 11 months since my last post! Here are a few summer pics:

Carson's PreSchool end of year picnic. Can be traumatic trying to get the three of them together for a picture. Especially when there are creeks to hike, kids to play with and other assorted adventures to be had.

A trip to the Lake Superior Zoo with Friends Gabe, Evy and Ava. Thanks to Joe for getting us a behind the scenes peek at the Polar Bear habitat!

Ready to hit the parade in Michigan. The kids got to go camping with their grandparents for a few days over the 4th of July holiday. 3 kids, 2 grandparents and one chihuahua in the airstream trailer. Priceless.
