Hot Summer in Minneesota

We have enjoyed the hot, sunny weather we have been having. We have spent a lot of our time at the local Anoka Aquatic Center where we have a summer pass. The boys love going down water slides and splashing in the water. We have fun meeting up with my friends Cole and Tracy often. The boys love to play with their kids! Yesterday our friends from church Kari and Jeremy and their boys met us at the pool for some fun!

The boys enjoyed some naked time while watching a show after going swimming at the pool

They love helping Dad mow the grass

All Pregnant with Baby # 3!

I go to a Moms Group through my church every Thursday morning. There are five of us who are all pregnant with baby # 3! We had to get a picture together. We have so much fun!

Our Anniversary/Baby moon Vacation!

Brian and I had a fabulous time on our vacation up on the north shore earlier this week. We stayed at Larsmount Cottages, which are located about 20 minutes north of Duluth. The weather was beautiful the entire time! We enjoyed hiking at Gooseberry Falls, dining out, campfires, and of course lots of relaxing time by the lake. 

We visited Enger Tower where we got married 8 years ago on the 21st and ran into our friend Megan! We used to work with her at camp!

We meet up with our friends Drew and Bekah in Moose Lake on our way up. It was great to catch up!

This was the landscape outside of our balcony window. So peaceful!

My favorite spot

We found a perfect bench to sit on in Duluth

Happy 4th of July!

For the 4th of July we went over to our friends Erik and Angela's house. They also had our friends Rick and Crystal over to join in the festivities. We had a total of 10 kids running around together and 2 more on the way! We barbecued, played with water balloons, had a bonfire with smores, and played with sparkers. It was a fun time!

Eli caught his first butterfly with his net! He was so proud and I was impressed with how gentle he was with the butterfly!

Asa decided to try on a little backpack. He looks super cute, I am not ready for that though!

We are sporting blue and red for the 4th of July!
