Weddings!

Dear Amelia and Max -

This summer has been filled with weddings!! The last 2 weekends have not disappointed!

I headed down to Kansas City on Saturday the 15th bright and early. You guys had a sleepover at Kiki's house. When I arrived, I went over to Lizzies and out to brunch with her. She has lived there for awhile after graduation from KU so it was fun to catch up! 

I met Glamma, Cookie, Robin and Emo at the Plaza in KC. Didn't spend any money but its such a fun shopping experience! 

Then it was wedding time. The wedding location was the coolest venue I've ever seen! Shannon married Nate in front of a beautiful pond and then on to the reception in a restored barn! 

The Minnesota Gang won the fun contest!! Duh :)

 Last weekend, Glamma and I went to Kella's wedding to Bryan. Glamma and Karen worked together back in the day. Kella and I were childhood friends. The wedding was lots and lots of fun!!

 I bet you are wondering why Daddy isn't in any of these pics? I gave him the option of coming along but he doesn't really care for weddings. He cramps my dancing style anyway...hehe...he hates to dance!

I missed you guys like crazy!!

Love,

Mom

Swimming Lessons

Dear Amelia and Max -

Amelia, you had swimming lessons yesterday. Remember your first swimming lessons? You LOVED it this time. You said your favorite part was going under and floating on your back! 

Love,

Colton & Owen's bday and a Vikings Win!

Dear Amelia and Max -

On Saturday, we made the trip up to Albany, MN for Owen (7) and Colton's (3) birthday party! They had a bounce house...Amelia loved it! Max, you were perfect as usual. 

On Sunday, Daddy headed to the Vikings Game with Aldo and Cookie while we stayed home and the two of you looked ADORBS!!!

 AND THE VIKINGS WON!!! SKOL!!

Love,
Mom

Nickelodeon Universe!

Dear Amelia and Max -

Monday we decided since it was Labor Day, we wanted to do something fun. We gave you a few options but decided on going to the Mall of America!

First, we started on the Log Chute.

You were all smiles as the ride started...by the time the big slope came up, you were straight up scared. I had to crop myself out of the pic because I looked equally as scared, as an adult...its not as cute.

 

 Daddy took you on a few rides, you had so much fun!!

 Max, you had fun too!! Look at your hair coming in! :)

 Maybe we'll start a new tradition!!

Love,
Mom

Glo Run

Dear Amelia and Max -

When Ashley told me about the Glo Run, I knew it had to be done. Running a 5K. Right. SO, I made her promise we could walk it :) And walk it was what we did!!

Daddy and Aldo joined us! We met at Krugers for a warm up beer on Saturday. The race started at 820pm in Bloomington. 

They had a DJ at the start and finish, black lights, strobe lights and a tunnel with more lights. It was SO fun and I can't wait to do it again next year!! 

You guys had fun at Kiki's house for the night!

Love,
Mom
