minnesota

a.k.a. one million pictures.

again.

here is my hot hubby driving us to minnesota.

me. so excited to see family and friends.the girlies. they both got to sit in the back!

mallory felt like such a big girl.cute kale. what is sweet face!sleeping beauties.a fabulous photo to show to any boy who wants to date her.

we are gathering ammo already.

we got to stay with our favorite friends, allison and dave and their two kids, adam and emily.

these kids LOVE eachother. adam and emily have made several appearances on this blog.

i use to watch the kids while allison worked and they are the girls best friends.

it was so cute to see them get to know eachother again. of course, right when we got there the party begun. we had pizza and another family, the jacksona came over. allison and dave have an awesome house with a great backyard, so the girls where in heaven. kids and grown ups playing and eating outside.adam with the chex mix we couldn't get enough of. allison i still need the recipe!!more ammo.the little girls at the park. we went back to the "mom's group" park we use to ALWAYS go to. it was so fun and nice to get out and play. we still love that park.
so cute. love the glasses.

liv and adam. i don't think they fought once!

i just love that face.

thanks again to the pattberg's for finishing the basement just for us! lol. it was so nice to see you again and you were the best hostess/host. thanks for everything! we miss you already.

we also got to stay a couple days with uncle greg. he was also a fabulous host and we had the best time with him. mallory is still asking where uncle greg is!

mallory had greg read to her every spare moment. thanks greg.

we got to see the ehlerts too. after a fabulous sunday dinner, the kids (including brett) went out to jump on the tramp and play. xander ended up pulling out a little pool, turning on the hose and filling up the pool. he is such a boy. liv and mal were loving it, needless to say they got all wet and then brett threw them in the pool. him and joey even ended up in the little pool. it was very entertaining to watch!

we had a great time in minneapolis and want to go back already. it was so surreal for me to be there. i felt so at home in wendy's house, our old neighborhood and old ward that i thought our life in indy might just be a dream. i thought we could just go back to our place in coon rapids and life would be normal. not so...but it felt like we never left. we also got to go our old ward and a ward party. it was so nice to see everyone and get caught up on all the new happenings. minneapolis is definitely a place we would move back to. thanks again to allison and dave and greg for letting us stay with them. we had a GREAT time.

to end some sweet pictures of our babies.
