We took in our first Twins game of the summer as the Twins lost to the Tigers 11-9 after 16 innings. We didn't push our luck with the little man we only stayed for the first 9 innings. Last weekend we went to an area zoo, where there was a baby camel and many other great animals.





Construction has begun! Hopefully in a couple weeks we have everything cleaned up and getting back to normal. Kids have been great helpers as we have been putting in many late evenings framing, putting in windows, doors and digging.








Jay, Tydan and I went camping on Memorial Day weekend and did some hiking.

Grandma and Grandpa got chicks again.

Father's Day- Jay got a hammock, hopefully with all the house projects going on this summer he will be able to find some time to enjoy it.

Spring is here!











Mason hustling to get his homework done so he can get out and play. He loves reading to Tydan.




All three kids played baseball this Spring. Jay and the kids ran in the Minnewaska Warm-up a 5K race and did really well. Carley finished in the top five for the women!! Jay finished the race! :) Mason had a Boy Scout recognition day where he received his badge and was able to race some cars.

Family Football




After the baptism the family hit the back lot for a little flag football. Mom all time quarterback, and then Carely and Bailey were against Dad and Mason. Great to be outside enjoying the great Spring weather as a family.

Tydan's Baptism











Sunday, April 19th we celebrated Tydan's baptism. He looked so handsome in his satin outfit. Carley, Bailey and Mason looked equally sharp for their little brother's special day.

Camping Trip







Well we took the little guy on his first camping trip to Sibley State Park. We enjoyed some yummy camping food, beautiful weather, lots of hiking and seeing some wildlife. We stayed in a camper cabin which was nice considering it is April.

Well he is 3 and a half weeks old and handsome as ever. He is doing a great job sleeping through church and any trip we take to town to do some shopping.

At the Farm!


Carley, Bailey, Mason, Tydan and cousin Riplee hanging out at the farm. Boy can we make a mess of Grandma house fast and wear her out. Grandma and Grandpa still want us to come visit anyways. Grandpa Keith check out Mason's new haircut, a flat top! Cousin Riplee is nine months old.

Just laying around!


See my eyes everyone! Nobody saw them the first couple weeks, but I am much more alert now.

Daddy's new excuse to lay on the couch!


Perfect timing to have a new baby during March Madness. Tydan and I were able to watch the high school girls and boys basketball tournaments along with the NCAA basketball tournaments. He has attended and listened to a lot of games in the past 7 months.
