Awesome weekend!!




So I know it's already Friday but this week has been crazy busy!!! We have been at the ballpark every night until 10 and Eric has been out of town which doesn't make that easy! He will finally get home tomorrow. Thank goodness... this was a long one!!!

Anyway, my sweet niece, Kira, got baptized last Saturday. I think everyone was a little worried about the day running smoothly but we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. The baptism was awesome and later that night we got to spend some time with Kaitlyn and Kaijsa which is awesome. I cannot wait for them to come back for a few weeks next month. Many of you know that I have always had a really close relationship with my beautiful niece Kaijsa. I love them all but Kaij and I have always been pretty close. I miss her like the dickens but I am so thrilled to see her happy! Love you girl!

Anyway, mom and dad got a hotel (hello - we both live up here!!!) so the kids could all go swimming. It was great fun and an awesome day!

I need to go take a few pics of the house. Holy Cow it is really going up fast and I am getting so excited! I think they will be done framing by the end of next week. Mick, Macee and Maddog all have games Saturday. This will be a great juggling act! Oh well - I am still waiting on some cute pool pics (yes Annette, that would be your hint!) We have been spending an afternoon a week over at a friends pool. They are so nice to have us and my kids cry every time we have to leave!

Summer is in full swing. Loving it. I am going to put a few pics of Murph. I had his pics done this week and were thrilled at the outcome! Later!!!

SO Cute, out of all of your kids, one would honestly think that there would have to be an ugly one right? not the case with you though. Lucky! Maybe just good genes. hey I was hoping you could put in a word to Janet to invite me to her blog... Its ok if she doesn't want to but I am totally dieing to see what she is doing now. I NEVER hear anything out here. when she had a baby I was like WHAT? didn't even hear she was prgnt. I CAN'T Believe how old Kaijsa is. I haven't seen her since she was in the 4th grade and I still look at the pics and can't beliveve thats her! Sorry for the long comment.
