Summer Weather...FINALLY!

Oh how Raegan loves the water! We FINALLY set up the pool. Thanks to the solar cover, the water isn't all that cold! So happy to finally have nice weather.

Another Weekend on the Farm!

Uncle Josh is home for the summer so we went home to see him! We had great weather so we enjoyed every minute that we could playing at both farms. They chased chickens and pigs and rode the horses out at Dukes'! Raegan rode the pony for the first time, and Logann and Peyton got to ride Bonita the big horse...their first horse ride! Aunt Sky said that the girls were naturals! My camera battery died before I could get pictures of horse rides :(

4th of July

One of the blocks in our neighborhood area goes ALL OUT during the holiday weekend. They rent deep fryers, cotton candy, snow cone, bounce houses, etc and set up tents with bbq and the works! Some friends of ours, the Harrison's (we went to high school with!) invited us over to join the festivities. All the kids on the block decorate bikes, cars, riding toys and have a parade. Raegan hopped in one of the creations nearby!

Logann did much better with fireworks this year.

We had some nice weather over the weekend so we started up the sprinklers!

Cutest buns on the block! Oh how they bounce :)

LOVE LOVE LOVE this happy little girl!

Happy should have been her middle name!

Katie's Bachelorette Party!

We planned a day of wine tasting down in the Newberg area for Katie's Bachelorette Party. After wine tasting, we went back to the hotel to freshen up for the St. Paul Rodeo. We had tickets for the 7:30 show, but found the beer garden a bit more fun so we just stayed there! All in all it was a great girls day out for all of us!

Our favorite tasting room, Hip Chicks do Wine

All ready to go to the Rodeo!

Watching Katie ride the mechanical bull was as close to the rodeo as we got!

I don't think we spent a dime on beer...cute cowboys took care of that for us :)

The famous Keystone cowboy hat!

The weekend was a success! Katie had a good time!
