Greta is 10 Months Old!

Our Greta is 10 months old! She is a sweetie who is always on the move. She is standing on her own and she is so close to taking her first steps. She still has no teeth, though I am sure it is only a matter of time before they come in! Greta loves to say mama and dada. She also enjoys clapping along to music. 

End of September

Greta is standing tall and getting so close to taking her first steps!

Eli loves Greta

Yesterday we went to visit Auntie Kristi and her horse Brandy. The boys loved grooming Brandy and they both got to ride her twice!

It was Greta's first time meeting Brandy!

Greta LOVING her dinner!

Last week we had fun exploring Thomas the Train at the Children's Museum.

Greta and I wearing mommy and me matching headbands. I could not resist.

The other evening Brian and I were commenting on how quiet the boys were playing upstairs. That was the problem. We found them dragging their mattress to the stairs and using it as a slide! 

I love the blurry picture of them sliding down looking so happy with themselves. At least no one got hurt.

On Sunday afternoon my good friends and I went out for lunch at the Mad Hatter Tea Room in Anoka. We had a great time with lots of laughs! 

Amy had the idea of us all holding flowers in the picture and we thought it was kind of funny. I kept laughing because Cole kept saying, "I do not know about the flowers..." Now I see what they wanted to do! Laughter is good for the soul.

Enjoying the Beautiful September Weather

Earlier this week my cousin Jordana and fiancé Simon came to MN to meet with the University of MN in order to partner with them in their endeavors in Africa. It was great to meet up with them for a double date! It has been so long since we had last seen each other. We had a great time with a lot of laughs!

I think we do look related.

Brian took a few engagement pictures for them.

Monkeying around with Daddy

Brian caught a picture of our everyday controlled chaos.

After church on Sunday we went out to eat at the Olive Garden. The boys enjoyed playing by the pond, it was a beautiful day.

Daddy helped the boys make a treasure map to their buried treasure in the backyard.

Uh-oh Greta got ahold of Daddy's ice cream cone

Sunday afternoon Grandpa, Grandma, and Uncle Jason brought over their new puppy named Lacy.

The boys loved it!

Greta liked watching the puppy run around too.

Bath time bubbles

Last week we went to the Pine Tree Apple Orchard. We had fun on the wagon ride and enjoyed all of the declines apple eats.

The boys helped me make apple crisp, well they mainly ate the apples.

Happy girl!

Greta has figured out how to make noise by blowing on her hand, so cute!

Love her smile

Last Saturday we went to my parents house for the day. The kids enjoyed playing in Uncle Dave's old climbing ropes.

I love this picture that Eli's teacher sent to us. Last week his class got to make chocolate chip cookies. Look at how excited the kids are as they are ready to eat the cookies!

I love these pictures of Daddy and Greta I took after church. So sweet!

Eli looking for the buried treasure.

Asa and Daddy laughing!

All three kids in the bath!
