MN Zoo

We just love the zoo.

Such a fun place to bring the kiddos to!

And we love going to the zoo on a weekday when we there aren't nearly as many people!

Ely Weekend

I think my favorite thing about MN is cabin life!
A couple weekends ago we made the trip up to ELY.  We survived a 4 hour car ride with Nana, Uncle Bran, Carter and Reesey.  It wasn't all that bad!  Especially because we had Nana to entertain the kiddos in the back seat!

The whole hour on the way home of bloody murder screaming from Reese in the back seat wasn't the most pleasant experience...but hey....we survived!

My Aunt Debbie and Uncle Bruce own two cabins in Ely and so nicely invited us to stay!  
The weather was PERFECT.
We spent the days playing volleyball, playing in the sand, jumping off the dock, riding the jet ski and tubing!  

Uncle Brandon is soooo funny!


Boat ride with cousin Kelly!

Jenny, Kayli and Teagan tubing!

Carter took a picture on the tube but was a little nervous about actually going on it behind the boat...maybe next year!

House Update!

Well we have made some progress.....

Alllll done!
Now we just want to move in!

Hopefully, crossing our fingers, next week.
Each day we go to our new home and we just walk around and admire everything!
It has been such a fun process building.
Everything was picked by us!  Makes us very proud homeowners :)

The landscaping, trees and sod just made it feel complete.
CedarCreek Sprinklers did such a great job.... (and in only 2 days) wow.

LDK has been amazing, we couldn't have picked a better builder!
They made it worth it to move out of our first home!
 What a great group of people to work with.

My absolute favorite part about the main level (other than the gorgeous floors)
Is the evening light!
Our windows just let it pour in.
You don't ever need to turn a light on :)

Welcome home

There is that light again.

This kitchen makes me want to cook or bake. :)  Or at least attempt to.


Reese checking out her room!

The kids having fun on the new carpet!

tackle!


Lily even got to come check out the new place!




Cute pic!

Silly faces!




 Hoping the next time I post I will be sitting in my new house doing it!

We are feeling very blessed and cannot wait for our kiddos to grow up here!
