4-Wheeler Time

 Jason stopped by with his 4-wheeler and the girls had to get a ride.  I only got Aftin on it, but Bailee also got a turn after.  They love going on rides, thanks Jason!

Team McNelson - Park Time!

We got together with the McNamara family for a little Cherry Berry and park time a few weeks back.  The weather was amazing and the kids had a blast.  They were running around so much it was hard to get pictures, so this is the best I could do.  Luckily Teddy is available with his cute little face when the bigger kids are running around. 

 

Tommy, Maggie and Aftin

How adorable is this little guy!

Two peas in a pod on the playground.

I had to get one of Tommy and Bailee.  I love this picture!

Dad Jeans

I had to post this because I laughed out loud for about 5 minutes when I saw Lance grab his "work" jeans (I call them his dad jeans) and Blake was excited because he had the exact same jeans.  I swear these two are clones of each other.

Nana's Birthday

We celebrated Nana's birthday at our house in early September (just catching up now) with dinner and Packer football game.  Happy brithday Nana!

Football Time - GO PACK GO!!

The first game of the season was on last night and we were ready to cheer the Green Bay Packers on to a victory.  Unfortunately they lost to the Seattle Seahawks, but it's a long season and many more victories to come I am sure.

The girls showing off their new packer gear.

Aftin was showing her tough face to show how tough the Packers are.

Hanging with the Patterson Family

We spent some time with Mike, Laurie, Chase, Blake and Ashton over the last weekend and even though the weather was a little gloomy, we made it out on the water.  The little ones were a little stir crazy but it was great.  Plus, we had Captain Chase driving the boat so that was fun to see him driving us around.  He did great!

These two are so cute!

Lance having fun with Blake.

Another Day, Another Park

Before heading up to see Patterson's over Labor Day weekend we went to a park in Hudson and the girls had a blast.  We headed to Cherry Berry after since the weather was pretty warm.

Play Date Time - Azlynn

The girls and I spent a beautiful day with Cara and Azlynn over Labor Day weekend.  I think the girls would move in if they could.  We headed to Starr Elementary for a little playground time and the girls got a lot of energy out.

They kept yelling, higher, higher, higher.

Fort/Camper Time

The girls wanted to play in a camper/fort so Lance got a couple blankets and they were in heaven. 

Stoli wanted out obviously.

Labor Day Fun!

Over Labor Day weekend we spent a lot of time at home getting projects done and in between we headed to a few parks.  The girls LOVE parks and climbing stuff is one of their favorite things recently.

Lance's Pre-Birthday Fun!

Lance's birthday is today but we celebrated last weekend with cupcakes that Jason brought over.  The girls had to have their own cupcakes with candles too.

Bailee, Aftin, Jason and the birthday boy.

Some pics that Jason took of Bailee being goofy.

Soccer Time!

The girls have been in soccer for over a year now but this is the first time we got to see them practice.  Normally it's during the day at daycare and we just hear about it after work, but the soccer coach invited the parents to come watch their last practice of this season.  They start again on the 10th of September and I am so excited to be able to see how much more they learn after this next time.  I was so impressed at how well they listened and how many moves they actually already know.  It was awesome!!

I love the little jerseys!

Daddy's Little Helpers

Lance and Jason spent the weekend finishing up the back shed/garage.  The girls wanted to "help" as well, so we gave them tape measures, pencils and siding.  It was more practice on knowing our numbers than anything.  They were so proud of themselves which made it so cute!!

Fair Time!

A quick picture of Lance and I at the MN State Fair on Saturday.  We were relaxing to the soothing sounds of acoustic guitar.  Next year we will be bringing the girls and it will be a whole new experience for us.

Cousin Time!

The girls got to spend a weekend with their cousins and here are some pictures of what it was like at our house while they were there.  Just wait until Kennedy and Megan graduate, we are going to have some great pics for their parties.

Two peas in a pod!  I think the camo goes well with the outfits.

They had to add pillows to their bellies to make it even better.

Park Time!

We got together with the McNamara's for a quick park play date at Mary Park a couple of weeks ago.  The girls had so much fun seeing their besties.  I had so much fun holding Teddy!!  I also found an old blog post with the girls on the same dino.  How things have changed, but stayed the same. Dino Fun

These girls and the dino!

Just love holding this little guy!

Tommy was loving the slides!!
