11 Years

Patrick and I celebrated our 11 year anniversary on August 28th.  My mom was in town and watched the kids for us so we could go out for dinner.  She also took some pictures of us before we left....
I am so thankful for these 11 years that we have had together and the life that we have made. I love you Patrick!

Daddy's Birthday & Time On the Boat

We celebrated Patrick's birthday on August 17th and went out to dinner.  Here are the kids with their pre-dinner kiddy cocktails cheersing to their wonderful Daddy!
 
 One absolutely beautiful hot August summer day, we last-minute decided to meet Patrick after work and go out on the boat on Lake Waconia.  Jim and Sandy were able to join us too!
Here are Soph and Grey hanging out on the tube...
 



 Grey loves to drive the boat with Papa Jim!
 
 Love this one!
 
 Nana Sandy with Soph and Gav.
 
 Sophie tubing with Daddy and doing some risky tricks...
 
 Wow!  Look no hands!
 
 Just a little swimming in the lake...
 


 Fun time on the boat!
 
 The boys were fighting over who gets to drive the boat with Papa...boys will be boys:)

Trip To Dickinson/Hope & Eric's Wedding

 
The last weekend in July, we went to Dickinson to visit my parents and also to attend my cousin, Hope's wedding.
It was a great weekend!  Very busy but able to see so many relatives!
Here are Gavin and Greyson enjoying one of our quieter mornings having fun on the trampoline at my parent's house.
 
Grey loves to jump on the tramp!
 

My mom bought Sophia some great pieces to make a fairy garden.  Here is the one that she made out of the pieces that Sophia gets to take home with her....how fun!


Gavin had fun playing some bat and ball.....he sure had some good hits!
 

Grey got a new basketball from Nana & Papa (basketball is his obsession) and won't let go of it:)
