NUSLP: WE LOVE MINNESOTA part 1

The last couple weeks have been a blur to me since Casey left. We took Casey to the Base on Friday, July 13th at 7:00, took Bullseye to the Vet in Crete, then back to Lincoln to go to the zoo with my friend Heather and her son Lane (sorry no pics...Casey has the camera in Guam). Then we met CAsey's parents and friends at a fundraiser concert for our church (which recently burned down...80 year old :( ) and got home at 12:00 am. I got up the next morning to get the boys and I packed for Minnesota. Before we could hit the road, Kenner and Patton played at the Bruha's house, while I went to my first Pampered Chef wedding shower. Once that was through (1:30 pm), Annie met me in Sprague, we packed and then picked up the boys and off we went.

We spent our first night in Fairmont, MN and we went swimming to burn a little energy. Kenner is into pointing where he wasn't people to go these days...Can you guess where he wants me to go? That's right the pool. Did he follow....NOPE only 30 minutes later!

Patton did go in the pool! It is the twins! So many people say that Patton looks like Annie...I might have to agree here:)

Kenner finally braving the waters! *Note Annie's suit...no she does not have children yet and when she does she might need to invest in a bit stronger shoulder straps!

Look at someone getting into the pool by himself...only 30 minutes later!

Someone was even brave enough to blow bubbles

Annie and Kenner "ikin" (translates to kicking!)

Baby Patton after a refreshing swim and bath!

We have arrived in Minnesota and the bear wanted to help feed PAtton. Thanks Mr. Bear!

Look who found Great Gpa's hat and look how it fit...PERFECT!

Kenner's loving the boat this year...and the Nemo's!

Kenner has learned to not only steer the boat but use the throttle...Annie and Mommy have neck aches...thanks Kenner:)

Lovin' time with great gpa. (not pictured: Patton loving with Great Gma! Thank you Gma for taking Patton so we could have a nice boat ride!)

Is he watching me push the throttle?

I don't think he knows what I am going to do...

HERE WE GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and now we STOP!

Look at my new "do" with out my hat on!

Kenner and Patton were put on show when I put them both in the tub together. Gma and Gpa couldn't believe I could bath, towel, and then proceed to carry them both at the same time into the bedroom to clothe and diaper them...that if life with two children 15 months apart!~

Kenner entertaining himself with Gma's newspapers...thank goodness that they had been read or we might have been sent home after being there for less than 12 hours.
