congrats uncle KK

Uncle Caleb, cousin Seth and Braden are going to State this weekend! They had a great game yesterday. I did get to watch a little of it. As you can tell...Kenner and Jasa didn't get much watching baseball done. They did get to play in the dirt (just alittle though).

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.
Hanging with great gpa


Thanks to Gpa for taking the boys to the park, so we could get some 1 on 1 precious time with Gma (shopping!!)

Look who is sitting and eating real food....
look who is feeding brother? (note Kenner's mouth...how funny!)
Mommy and Kenner in front of the flag...thanks Daddy for serving our country...we miss you!
Ready, set....nope no jumping! I am just looking for Nemo's

Great Gpa and I hanging on the island.

I love my great gpa!
Hanging out on the dock!
GPA GOT OUT THE POOL!!! Mommy might have to invest in one sooner than later!
Mommy and Bubba! Love you Bubba!

WE LOVE MINNESOTA part 2

We had to keep Patton company while in the boat, so why not try a little grape twizzlers for the first time. Looks like he loved it!! Ahh! Kenner decided to take a nap. Finally a little calm on the seas...
Just kidding! I wasn't sleeping!
I am not sure what Kenner was trying to do, but he wanted the big person's life jacket on over his. Maybe he thought he really didn't have a life jacket on...when he really did with his slick one piece life jacket.
Patton admiring the waves of Rush lake.
Kenner wanted to have a picnic outside, so Patton and Annie and I joined him. Note that Patton isn't sitting in that seat by himself, we tied him in with a towel.
The "pooh"-ol Gpa brought out for us! Mommie realized what the little swimmer diapers actually hold...nothing! (including when someone goes #2)
You caught me!
Mommie wasn't very nice and tried dunking Kenner in the lake. Annie was much nicer than Mommie! He loved getting his hair wet though:)
Patton loved the lake! What's up homie!

Great Gpa and Kenner looking for Nemo's! There were plenty out there. Next year we will have to go with Daddy to fish!

Eating alone is now over...look who wanted my cone!
Look who got my cone!
Look who got their own, because that battle was lost long long ago!
Gma and Gpa enjoying a cone of their own...and now they are enjoying a peaceful time in their cabin without the two generals!
Hey look who is crawling!! What out brother! I have watched you too long to not pick up on ALL of your tricks...including taking my pacifier way! he he he

The photo opp in front of the sign! Nice Hair Mommie!!
Annie was concerned that you couldn't see our names...so here they are close up!
One minute in the car....
Two minutes in the car...(gotta love technology these days!)
