My boy is growing up......way too fast!

Picnic with friends

These days it's sometimes a lot easier to just let the kids run around while we eat with friends. When we've felt we've worn out our welcome at some of our favorite restaurants we give them a break and go to the park.
"Mom can you stop taking pictures and feed me!!"

Char Char and Reagan

Reagan was the official swing-ER of the night. I'm glad she enjoys pushing everyone else now bc my arm was about to fall off every time we went to the park. For some reason she never got bored with the swings and I'd have to push for what seemed like an hour.

Happy Birthday Brock!!!

Brock's only request this year was to go to one of his favorite restaurants, North Woods Inn, I thought he was doing me a favor when we stopped going to "The Sizz" but I had no idea what I was getting myself into...when you walk in you are welcomed by floors full of sawdust. I tell you there is something in the water in Apple Valley that somehow makes you fall in love with the craziest things.

Grandma was teaching Reagan how to play London Bridges. Grandma is chuck full of all those great songs and games. Thanks for teaching Reagan all the classics that I've forgotten about.

I invited the whole Ebmeyer crew to surprise Brock and join us for one of their family favorites but at least a few could make it!! I know the others would have made it if they didn't have so much going on...they're good like that! Thanks G&G Newman and Hugh and Sharon for making my boy's day (and your's) a special one.

Happy Birthday Daddy! We love you!
