Two peas in a pod

These two make me giggle.

They are too cute together.

Maddie lives two houses down from us.  Our backyards are all connected.  And when one of them spots the other one out playing it is a direct bee-line to each other.

We constantly hear "Can I play with Maddie!"

Maddie will be 4 this summer.

She is so great with Carter and definitely has been teaching him things like "sharing."

I tell her parents constantly that Carter is ten times easier to watch when she is around.

He stays very entertained.

Carter even put his arm around her by the fire-pit and said, "I just love you Maddie."

(Maddie's dad wasn't too impressed with this comment :)

Here they are at the Albertville Carnival

hehe way too cute
Both with their orange pop mustaches

Baptism

Our baby girl was baptized on June 17th, 2012.

What a wonderful day with family.

She looked so darn cute in her beautiful baptismal gown.

Made by her Nana along with a matching bonnet.

It looked like a mini wedding dress.

We had a great celebration afterwards at the Lundeen house.

Thank you everyone for sharing in her special day!

As they are pouring the water Carter says,
"Are they going to give her a bath?"
And as the Pastor carried her down the aisle he said,
"Bring her back to me!"
Josh and I definitely could not keep in our giggles.

We bribed Carter with a four-wheeler ride to get this smile out of him

Meeting the Weier Side

Grandma Alfaro from the Massachusetts came to visit this past week.

She made the special trip for Reese's Baptism.  My Grandpa Weier also made the trek.

The Friday before her baptism we met up in Shoreview to have lunch at my Aunt and Uncle's house.

This was the first time Reese met my Dad's side of the family.

My cousin Remya and Carter

Remya said to her Mom after seeing Carter, "That boy thinks he knows EVERYTHING."
Well Miss Remya...there is no arguing with a 2 year old :)  You probably won't win.

Soon to be Mrs. Kollar!

2 weekends ago I made the trip to Rochester to celebrate Miss Bekah's Bachelorette Party!

Her and Joe will be getting married this week in Jamaica.

I will try not to tear up writing this...but unfortunately the all inclusive resort (where josh and I actually had our honeymoon) does not allow little 3 month old babes to come with.  Boooo

So I will be thinking of the two of them while and sending them lots and lots of love from MN.

Bekah and I have been close friends since the 9th grade.

She is going to make such a BEAUTIFUL bride and I cannot wait to see all of the pictures.

We love you Bekah and we wish you all the happiness in your new life with Joe!

"The Brunette side"  Molly, Sheri, Bekah and I.  No lie...we sat this way at the table ... Brunette side and Blonde side.

The "Blonde Side"   Rachel, Leslie, Cassie and Sally

The Bride to Be!

Love this pic of Mols and I

Such a fun night!  This winery has a place in Rochester where you can have the entire space to yourself.  We bought a case of wine and the owners left leaving us girls in charge :)

After the wine 'tasting' we met up with Joe and his buddies at the comedy club.

All of the girls

Bekah and her sister

I had to include this pic....the end of the night....and yes we are "cheers-ing" our food!
