Life just got a LOT busier.....

We've got a CRAWLER!!!!

At the end of her 8th month Lauren started army crawling



then a couple weeks later she was up and rocking and really trying to crawl....

 



 

 

Short Cabin Trip and the Pedal Pub

We decided to run up to the cabin on friday early afternoon for a short little stay.  We needed to leave sat afternoon to be home for a bday party.

 

 Drew brought up disc golf, so that kept the kids busy friday night!

 

 

Saturday lunch on the porch for Lauren...this is her hungry face!! FEED ME!

 

Lauren was not fond of the colder water, so daddy and Nanna filled up the Turtle pool!  (Nana snuck in some warm water from the cabin....SPOILED!) She Loved that ; )

 



That was it for cabin time, but we made the most of it!

 

Now off to the Pedal Pub to celebrate Sean Keatings Birthday!

Our pregnant bartender...

 



 

 

 

The whole Crew...what a fun night!!

 

VBS- WEIRD ANIMALS

This was the first time the kids have ever done Vacation Bible School

We joined Trinity Lutheran Church and they do a HUGE week of VBS- this year the theme was Weird Animals.  They sent us home with the BEST music CD, the kids absolutely LOVE it (and I enjoy it as well)

 

 

Here are a few pics I snapped for the memory books (or blog)

 

  This is the 2nd day, they were soooo excited to come back!!!

 

...and the last day! They did a performance of the songs and had an icecream social after.

 

 

Smooches for Sister

 

 TO say they enjoyed VBS would be a total understatment.... Every.single.day they went on and on about how much they LOVED it!!  We are still always playing the cd in the car and to hear Averys sweet little 3 year old voice sing the words so clearly makes my heart melt!!!  SO so sweet (not to mention seeing them both do the actions in the review mirror of the car....pretty awesome).

Already looking fwd to next year!!!!



Every day Summer fun

Its June and weve passed all the craziness of MAY (Birthdays, Graduations, wedding, baptism, memorial day....whew...SO, so fun, but incredibly tiring!!)

 

We are ready for some RELAXED Summer fun!! (until we start camps that is..lol)

 

Few pics of what weve been enjoying : )

 

This day we were off to the Keatings for a swim!

 

Sista loves her some watermelon!!

 

 

Lauren Turns 9 months Old!

 

More fun with the keatings! Park/beach then off to lunch downtown Wayzata!

The park was flooded due to all the rain and the really high water level, I think this is the most fun theyve had at a park...Ever!

Daddy was gone tonight so we ate

dinner at the bar and did a Sink Tubby!

Lauren LOVED it, but she also LOVES LOVES, LOVES to splash.... needless to say the floor was very wet and the kids plates were filled with water, but we cant wait to do it again!!

 

We plan to fill our summer with lots of Picnics and Park play!

Easy. Simple. Fun

 

Memorial Day Weekend

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND

 

 ALSO KNOWN AS CABIN TIME!!!

All the Reynolds Fam was up for memorial day weekend, so the kids got in lots of cousin time.  I didnt have my phone for the majority of the weekend, so I only have a few pics...but it was lots of fun and great weather!

 

    Lauren loves the swing                                       Avery and Elle...too cool for school

 

 

Will Work for COOKIES!!!!  Haha

 

Luke lost his 3rd tooth at the cabin (and I got to pull it out!!!)



 

Monday when we got home I cleaned the house spotless, washed all laundry and took the kids to cut these lovely lilacs from our bush!!

The house was quiet, it was humid and warm and you could only hear the frogs and smell these delicious flowers! 

Our house was pure SUMMER!! LOVE!

 







Welcome Canadian Family!!

 

 

May 16-18th was a BIG wkd for our family!!  The ENITRE family from Canada came and we made the MOST out of the weekend!  Quick Recap-- Thursday the Rents came and spent the night with us.  We watched Luke play Tball then had a pizza and movie night! Luke and Avery had Peanut butter and Jelly pizza from Carbones last time they were here. SO of course we had to get that again....may be starting a fun little tradition!!

Friday morning My mom and I got our traditional Pedicures...this started when I was pregnant with Avery and every time she visits we get one now!! Its a special treat!

 

Friday night Tricia had the Vossens at her house to see all the Canadians and celebrate Lillians Birthday! Summertime parties at their house are always so fun....bonfire, hayrides and night games!
