End of June

We sure have had a busy June! We went to pick strawberries this past Monday and then I made strawberry shortcake from scratch. It was delicious! 

Asa and Greta and their friends helped out at the concessions one evening during a baseball practice for Eli. They were happy to make a bunch of tips!

Yesterday Greta and I had high tea together at The Mad Hatter Restaurant and Teahouse. It was fun to get dressed up and spend some special time together. I love seeing big smiles on my girl's face.

It was delicious! 

I framed these baseball pictures of the boys and put them in their bedroom. It has been such a fun season for them! They both won their last season games this week and they will have their tournament games next weekend and the weekend after. We love cheering them on! Brian has done an amazing job assistant coaching both of the boys and their teams.

At Eli's game last night Brian told Asa he could help out in the dugout and be the team manager. He took the job seriously and he was very helpful and encouraging! It has been great to see Eli do such an awesome job with pitching and playing catcher this season. Asa has made many double plays and his coaches tell the other kids to have an "Asa attitude". He is always so positive and happy!

Asa did an awesome job playing catcher too!

The other day I took Asa on a lunch date to Key's Cafe. He brings joy to everyone he meets.

Last Friday we had a fun afternoon walking around the Coon Rapids Dam with Papa.

Our associate photographer Autumn is getting married next June and she asked Greta to be her flower girl! Greta is so excited to be a flower girl again. She asked her with pretty cookies. Brian will be photographing her wedding and we will all be attending her wedding. We are so happy for her!

For the past two weeks the kids have had swimming lessons. They did great! Eli and Asa completed the swim program and Greta will finish the swim program soon.
