Running around.

Running around

just about sums it up.

Vance is now 1 month old

& he's been just about everywhere.

Big Lake Spud Fest parade.

Our niece Kylie had her graduation party.

We ate, enjoyed beautiful weather, & had a good time with family.

Hanging out with buddies.

Tummy time.

Naptime with Olivia.

The boys were VERY excited to be in the Watercade kiddie parade.

Erickson family reunion.

We all had a great time.

More good food, beautiful weather & visiting with extended family.

Being pirates & finding their treasures. Arrr.

I have a feeling the boys will want to be pirates this year for halloween.

I guess we'll wait and see.

Naptime with dad.

Adler's buddies...sparkles, ducky, & blue bunny.

Then it was Riverfest in Monticello....

so more festivities were had.

Remember how I talked about that 'dang train'.

Well like I said, it's everywhere & it was at the

downtown Block Party!

SO of course the boys had to ride it,

but there was at least ONE fantastic change to the train.

Well the change is a new simplicity lawn mower

was hauling the trains.

THANK THE LORD ALMIGHTY!

Because what you can't see is the head jerking that usually

occured when the very old,

I mean VERY OLD

lawn mower pulled & it jerked the trains so hard

both kids would hit there head,

every time!

SO this was a vast improvement

to their train experience.

p.s. but I wonder where the old guy who drove the old lawnmower

went?

Vance enjoying the Block Party.

The boys getting popcorn from the ACE Hardware booth.

Don't we just love our local hardware store!

When we are mad at Home Depot & just want

1 or 2 screws versus a whole package,

we head to ACE.

Then the next day it was Luke's late day at work

but it was also Fun at the Park.

So I ventured out with the 3 boys

all by myself!

They ate some McD's.

(which might be their last time. more about that later!)

They rode the John Deere tractors.

And took their Home Depot projects home

to finish with dad when he got home.

They built tool boxes

& have been playing with them ever since!

Here's to more busy weekends coming up!
