When the band starts playing your favorite song..

When grandpa's band starts playing your favorite song, you have to smile! Even if you are the advanced age of 6 and trying very hard to play it cool.....

The progression is Amelia's face as grandpa's band started playing her favorite song!

Berne pizza

Grandpa's band was playing, the weather was gorgeous, the pizza was yummy1 it was a perfect night!

Pizza in a corn field it Minnesota leg, day3

Where else would you drive to a corn field, park and eat pizza?

Minnesota probably isn't the only place, but that is where I did it.


Grandpa Kevin's band was playing at a fundraiser in Berne, Minnesota. We don't usually get to hear his band play, so we jumped at the chance when we were in town. We went to this same event last ear and it was a lot of fun- we were glad to get to do it again!

All the kids.

Between us, my best friend from high school and I now have 6 kids. Aren't they cute?

Meeting baby Gaedke #3

My best friend from high school recently had her third baby. we could not wait to meet him! Don't worry, I got to hold him for an extended chunk of time and get my baby fill. I love newborn babies, especially when they sleep at someone else's house at night!

Anyway, baby Cal is already a chunky little guy and our kids were DELIGHTED to be able to hold him and coo over his cuteness. He is very, very cute!

Jessica and I were able to chat and catch up while our kids played in the water in the backyard. Based on their appearance, they had a lot of fun- mud was everywhere!
