Some Friends, Some Family

So, a couple months back we were so fortunate as to be able to get together with some wonderful, old friends of mine (Kim and Jess) and their growing families.  Here are all (except one) of our kids having fun together....it was so fun for us girls to see all of our kids playing together...I don't think we could have ever quite imagined that when we all were in our prime college days:)

Gavin, Sophia, Caden, Henry and David

Funny faces!

Myself, Jess and Kim....so good to see these wonderful ladies!

Kim's (and Kyle's too) newest little guy, Cammen.  So fun to meet him!

Here we have Nana Sandy and Papa Jim, who happened to be around one night, dancing with the kids....so cute!

Sophia and Gavin "playing house" in their play nook....don't you love the vase with flowers as their table centerpiece:)  Sophia does take after me a little bit:)

 

Little G.

The kids with my Uncle Keith who is staying with us after just moving here from California.  We all love having him here and the kids treat him like they have known him forever...sometimes it can be quite scary...I never knew they could get so wild!!!:)



Last Day On The Water

In late August we had one last lovely day on Lake Waconia.  It was one great family day to remember!

Nana Bobbie & The MN Zoo

 



Way back in August my mom came down for 5-6 days to help watch the kids and just to visit!  What a treat for us!

We took the kids to the MN Zoo and had a great time!  We actually got to spend some quality time together and didn't have to be so rushed...it was really great to have my mom around:)  And we sure appreciate her help!

I just love this picture of her and kids at the Zoo:)

My brother, Lane also was able to meet us out for a fun Zoo excursion:)

Love this one of Lane and Gav:)

 



We got to see the dinosaur exhibit too!  Here S is at the entrance....

All of us adults thought that the exhibit was pretty darn cool....the kids were not so sure about it:(

 

Yikes!

Lane, my Mom and G.

Priceless shot!

Sophie finally made a friend:)

 

Not a dinosaur but another pic that I liked:)
