A Little Catchin Up..

I realize I may have lost some readers b/c of my inconsistency but for those of you still checkin in, thanks... here is a much needed update of our end of Summer into Fall... First of all, Wes turned 5!!! It was his 'Golden' Birthday (Sept. 5th) of which he took very seriously. He had a gold top hat, gold '5' balloon, gold candles and gold coins everywhere- the plastic kind unfortunately. Also, he chose 'Spongebob' as his theme which he informed me was 'also gold'. We did his first special Birthday outing to 'Adventure Park' where he invited his closest buds and they all had a blast! Later that day, we had family over to celebrate his big day over a meal of spaghetti and choc. cake- his second favorite only to pizza. It turned out to be a fabulous day and special celebration for a little boy who means so much to us. :) By the way, notice Wes's 'marine haircut'... that is the result of an emergency visit to the barbers that morning after an incident w/ him getting stickers in his hair and trying to remedy the situation w/ scissors. Apparently I was an absentee mom that day b/c I found out after the fact when he was walking around w/o a care in the world sporting a huge gouge of hair missing from the top of his head. Guess I missed the runnings for 'Mother of the Year' award... AGAIN.

Shirtless Monopoly has become a fave. family pastime as of late.... well ok, the shirtless thing is optional but Reese is obsessed w/ Monopoly. :)

The highlite of Reese's Summer was a week at Science camp where he got to make experiments everyday- solor oven, periscope, battey operated fan etc... It was in Edina (an hour away) so Wes and I got to spend some great one on one time in a foreign land for a week. So fun.

The boys were highly entertained w/ the crazy mirror.

One game at the Twins so far this year... It may be the last one in the metrodome b/c by next year they'll have built an outdoor stadium. Should be interesting in MN. I'm no expert but I think the covered stadium was originally built for a reason..

We also got in some fun time in Spicer @ my folks cabin. Such fun memories for us and the boys. They each got in some one on one time w/ their GiGi and Papa. Good for them, good for everyone. :)

Whew! Well, next time I'll catch you up on 1st day of school pics now that they're 3 weeks into it. ;)

Its busy but we're grateful to the Lord for so many things.

Till later.
