Day 2 in Minnesota!

Day 2....we went to the zoo!  When we first got there I went to put the brake on the double stroller and my flip flop BROKE!  I almost packed up and went home....thankfully Bridget had an extra pair of flats in her car....they worked but gave me blisters!  Bridget was nice enough to switch shoes with me half way through the zoo which gave me some relief!  The zoo was great...they had a new dinosaur exhibit which was very life like, however, it scared Kyle and he cried and clung to me the whole time!

Clara, Kreighton, and Julianna!

Kyle...he was ok with the dinosaurs that did not move! 

Kreighton petting the goat...she is currently trying to talk her dad and Grandpa into getting some of these!

The splash pad was a huge hit!

The only picture I got Lauren!

Julianna was/is a mother's dream!  She is so great with the kids and interacts with them perfectly!  At one point I think I saw her "counting kids" having her there made things so much easier!  

Driving the Boat

Sissy and Nolan...they got there late on Friday night!

Kyle was in heaven James and Bridget have a family in their neighborhood with 4 boys that were more than willing to share their tractor/toys with him!

Clara at gymnastics

Kreighton got to go as well

Sissy and her nieces

Family Picture...both babies are asleep...but it works!

Kyle helping Uncle James with the fire

I think under his breath Kyle was calling Uncle James a "townie"

And this is where my blog ends...Nolan got baptized on Sunday and I forgot my camera battery at James and Bridget's so I got no pictures!  It was a neat ceremony and they even dipped Nolan into a pool of water...then the priest lifted Nolan up (which was a little scary because Nolan was wet and had oil on him)  It was a great weekend and so fun to be with family and friends...James and Bridget were great hostesses!

Trip To Minnesota...Day 1

Last weekend we went to Minnesota for Nolan's Baptism....Kreighton, Kyle, and Myself went up a day early to spend some extra time with everyone!  It was a VERY interesting 1st Day to say the least!!!

This was my van getting towed...we barely made it to Allison's!

The tow truck!

Ice Cream Break!

Kyle loved it!

At the park!

This is Kyle saying "I Buzz LightYear!"

Kreighton asked when we got there if she could put her toes in the water before we left...

All was going well.....

Until Kyle fell and couldn't get up and I had to go in after him

And of course the Toyota dealership called me  as soon as we were out to tell me that they wanted to keep the  van overnight!
Thankfully we had roadside assistance so as long as I could get a ride to the dealership they could give me a loaner van (thankfully I had Allison to drive me) they didn't tell me that the new van would smell like smoke!!!!!

A Budding Romance....

By these pictures I would say so.....

Kreighton-"I do think we can make it work, would you consider a move to Iowa? I am not so sure I can be a Gopher"
Jack-"Well, if I move to Iowa would you consider being a Cyclone Fan?
Kreighton-"Well, I guess my mom did marry a Clone so it is something I would think about?"

 What Kreighton is really thinking...get him to Iowa I can "change" him into an Iowa Fan!

Kreighton" So Jack we are really going to do this...move to Iowa and be Hawkeyes, Pig Farmers, and plant Pioneer Seed Corn"
Jack- "Kreighton if that makes you happy let's do it"

Kreighton "Ahh Jack Tetzlaff....I love you"
