Family Time

Last Sunday we got together in Cosmos with Jesse's Lietzau/Meyer (mom's side) relatives.  It was so fun to see everyone and as always had wonderful food!  Jesse's aunt, MaryJo is visiting from MT so Sunday we had the picnic and then went to Bruce and Nancy's for fireworks, Wednesday Allie and I went to Valleyfair with his aunt, mom, sister and her kids, and last night I got to go to Chanhassen to see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat with her.  It has been a fun week (and Allie had bible school in there too!).  Now I am off to working nights this weekend.  Here's a few pics from the picnic, I have really no pics from the rest - MaryJo has pics that hopefully I can get copies of!!  :)  Photos taken while everyone was eating...sorry!

Kara says "CHEESE!", Sorry Greg!  ;-)

A Mages Wedding

Last Saturday we had a Mages wedding.  Hillary Mages got married in Minneota.  As always, it was a good time!  A little different this time as we had the little ones to chase after and get home.  Allison and Kara had soooo much fun dancing!  They might have been exhausted, but they didn't slow down until we got in the car!  Then I think they were both out before we got out of town.  And Minneota is a small town!  :)  So congratulations to Hilary and Corey!

My baby brother turns 30!

Yup, hard to believe my brother and I are both over 30 now!  Right mom and dad??  Ha!  KerryAnn threw Dan a surprise party at the cabin on Friday, August 2 (his actual birthday was Sunday, Aug. 4).  It was so fun and Dan was definitely surprised.  Success!!  :)

Surprise!!

T-Ball Fun

Allie was also in T-ball this summer.  I think she enjoyed it...but she was definitely the one picking grass in the infield (no one is in the outfield in t-ball!  :)  She was a suprisingly good batter, but even at the last game of the season had a liiitttlllee trouble with base running!  "Go to FIRST BASE (everyone pointing at 1st base) Allison!"  "Run to SECOND (or third, or home and with lots of pointing again) Allison!"  On picture day, her favorite part was taking pictures.  Yea, so far this one is ALL GIRL!  We'll see what she picks for next summer!
