Jackson's Cherry Pie

Tonight we had the pleasure of enjoying one of Grandma's homemade cherry pies.

Uncle Andrew was bummed he couldn't be here to enjoy it so we decided to give his piece to Jackson.  This was Jackson's reaction.



Here's the YouTube link as well if you need it.

Michigan Vacation - June 2012

Hey Family!
  So for a class I was taking this summer we were told to create an iMovie using videos and pictures.  I put together a video of our Michigan vacation we took last summer.  Obviously we have expanded our family by a few (3) so it doesn't have everyone in it but it is still enjoyable to watch.  It was such a wonderful time and it makes me anxious for our vacation next summer.  Hope you enjoy!




Here's the YouTube link if the video doesn't play.

June 2013

The month of June has been an enjoyable start to our summer.

Minneapolis
  June 6th was our 5th wedding anniversary, so Pete and I took a mini vacation to Minneapolis.  It was such an enjoyable time.  We spent some time at Mall of America and treated ourselves to some long over due shopping.  Pete and I are not shoppers, but when you have two kids at home, it makes it virtually impossible to do any shopping for yourself.
  After shopping, we spent the evening at Target Field relaxing at a Twins game then enjoying some beverages at a popular British themed bar called Britts.  On Saturday, we adventured to the race track and watched a friend's family horse race.  Our bets never cashed in, but it was a great first time experience.  We keep reflecting back on the weekend saying that Minneapolis might be our new favorite city.  It was a wonderful getaway for the two of us.

Kansas City
  The following weekend, we took a last minute day trip to Kansas City with the boys and my mom to visit my brother, Andrew.  Tommy experience his first baseball game, which he loved.  Baseball is now his new found interest.  We can't go anywhere without his bat!
  The baseball game took up most of our day but we did have the chance to eat dinner at Fritz's where our food was delivered to us on a train.  It was so funny to watch Jackson and Tommy continually watch the trains move around the room.  They were completely enthralled.
  Before we made the short trek home, we treated ourselves to ice cream from Murray's which was out of this world!  We're hoping to return to Kansas City in the next few weeks for a family day trip.  I can't wait to treat myself to another waffle cone!
