There is some Minnesota in their blood.

Can you spot the
Aren't they supposed to come out at night? This one was bold enough to approach during daylight and only moved away when John approached it.
Gemma yikes broccoli
It's daddy's birthday!
We are grilling burgers and have an ice cream cake to celebrate. Then, it will be business as usual as we have gymnastics and Mama needs to work tonight for the graduation ceremony. Busy busy!
This picture is from our weekend hike at Cuivre river state park. It was in the upper 80's and daddy carried Gemma for close to 3 miles. What a trooper! William and Amelia also get some recognition- they hiked the whole thing as well. I was impressed by the lack of complaining from our oldest child until I realized he was getting happier and happier to be in the woods. The more his sister complained, the sunnier his disposition became.
Happy birthday John!

Behind, behind
We have been running around like crazy.
The weekend before Memorial Day, we traveled to Des Moines to attend John's niece's confirmation.
The next weekend we drove to Minnesota to visit my parents and help them pack for their move across town.
The weekend after Memorial Day was Amelia's Big Dance Show. She was amazing and wonderful! But, a busy weekend with rehearsals, show times and a bonus soccer team pool party.
This last weekend we attended Boy Scout family camp with William's Boy Scout Group. We camped out Friday-Sunday and had a wonderful time.
In between, we squeezed in the last day of school for the kids and have been attending outdoor concerts in the park, eating from food trucks and composing summer wish lists. It's been busy and it's been fun.
The laundry is finally getting caught up and it looks like we are going to be home this weekend. All this to say, I know if has been quiet around here and I am hoping to change that up soon.

Happy 3rd Birthday Gemma!
Gemma, the Bean, is 3! It is just a little unbelievable that she is THREE!
Gemma was the first one up today and informed me "Get up! It my burpday (birthday)!"
Yes, it was. So I got up.
She requested a pint (pink) birthday cake, so we made one for her last night. She received many, many generous presents from family and friends.
She heard many, many rounds of "happy birthday" from her siblings, parents, grandparents and one plucky great grandma.
All in all, it was a very fun day to be Gemma and we were so lucky to spend it with her.
