Faribault Aquatic Center


Curtis LOVED jumping off the board!


And, going down the slides!
Johnny loved the bucket!
Of course, so did Curtis!
Andrew loves going to the pool! Who am I kidding, he loves his Mama too!
Ready to hit the waves!
Megan came with NO kid or hubby! She took advantage of Kyle having his wisdom teeth removed, and sat and read a book in the sun all day! (Oh, and went down some slides with her godson as well!)
The first hour is for 6 and under. Since is was a Sunday, the pool was EMPTY!
Since it was the last day of the summer at the pool, the Soda was FREE all day and snacks were discounted! The kids thought it was GREAT!!!!! (So did we!) I think if I let Johnny drink pop, he's have an IV with it! My lil' junk food junkie!
How cute are those rolls....until he's about 30!
Can you believe my baby is starting Kindergarten in two weeks?
The whole family!

Packer Fan

My brothers were asleep for the night and I got to stay up extra late. Do you think I get any attention in my neighborhood?
I know this number looks better in green than in purple...but we'll still watch him and cheer for him!
Go Pack Go!

Baton Rouge

Last week, I headed down I Baton Rouge to help my friend Lynne, from the Netherlands who moved there. I took Andrew, and Curtis and Johnny stayed at Megan and Kyle's house for two days with Granny in town watching them!

Then Erik and the boys packed up and went to Grand Marais, MN for a four day weekend! Here they are at Gooseberry Falls!
Lynne moved the the USA from Holland in July. She just got in her house a week ago Friday, and the shipment of her goods from Holland got there that day too. She was also due to have a baby, and her oldest would be starting kindergarten all in one week! So, Andrew and I flew in to lend a few helping hands. Lynne had Baby Ryan on Saturday, August 15th! He weighed 8lbs 11oz. It was the first time she's EVER had an epidural, as they don't use pain meds much overseas. The quote of the day was, "Katie, why would anyone NOT use an Epidural?" Remember, she has NO friends or family anywhere near her...so please keep her in your prayers if you are the praying type.
Emma, and Callum going to see Ryan for the first time!
Emma headed off on her first day of school! What an emotional week for Lynne!
Andrew enjoyed his visit to Cajun Alley looking for Alligator heads to bring back for his brothers!
Getting in a little baby time! And NO, it did NOT give me ANY sort of itch!
Who doesn't love a naked baby?
Lynne the night before the baby came!

We had a busy week with hanging pics, getting the house unpacked, shopping for curtains, getting cell phones, freezing meals, watching her kids, etc. I'll miss her, and hope she has a good USA experience!

Soccer

The boys are on the same soccer team this year, which makes Monday night much more fun!


Busy Body

My mom doesn't get much of a chance to sit down at the computer to blog anymore.
She says I'm into EVERYTHING!
I just like to explore the house...
and let everyone know WHO'S BOSS!

I Scream....

Johnny gave me some ice cream last week and I LOVED it!
Then he took it away from me, and I wasn't very happy!
Crying sure worked, because he put it right back in my face! This is the life!
