Per Caleb, “I like when you are super loud at my sport games.”

Let us not forget that these were Caleb’s exact words on my Mother’s Day gift!

I love eating sunflower seeds, I love cheering AND I love doing both of these at Caleb’s baseball games!!

“BBBBBIIIIIIIGGGGGG HIT”

“GIVE IT A RRRRRIIIIIIDDDDEEEE”

 

“HUSTLE”

 

“LOOK ALIVE, LOOK ALIVE”

“JUST PLAY CATCH CALEB.”

 

And one can imagine how loud Caleb’s mom is when he throws strikes, forces outs, hits doubles and triples…and dare we imagine the decibels for in the park homeruns!!

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CALEB!” Such a fun season!

Best Deal in Town

We are pretty sure our swim pass pays for itself in the first week of summer!

We go ALL of the time, and we LOVE our “private” North Fargo Pool!

Why are we warming ourselves on the concrete??  Could we not find an open chair in the background?? 

  

 

 

 

 

Brynn’s first year of doing the waterslide alone!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A splashing good time!

It is all about the shoes!

Jayne and Annie had a tappin’ good time at summer tap class.

At the performance, the teacher spent a good five minutes talking about how to find a place for your child to tap in your home…Mom has to admit, she was not listening to this part of the performance.

The tappers did great and looked adorable in their tappin’ tulle!

Have you ever went to a bowling birthday party, LEFT the bowling birthday party, ARRIVED at a Target errand with your mom only to realize you had forgotten to take off your bowling shoes?

Mark has…

We “loove” our dad!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brynn ~ I “loove” you Dad!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Caleb ~ I “loove” you Dad!!!!!!!!!!!!! (but I do not have time to make you a nicer card because I need to get back to timing myself running 100 feet.  I am trying to see if I can run 100 feet and beat the fastest 100 meter dash time…you understand because we are EXACTLY the same…right Dad?!*)

Jayne ~ I “loove” you Dad!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I also love the zoo so every art project I do has a zoo theme.

Luke ~ I “loove” you Dad!!!!!!!!!!!!! Luke’s loove took hours to capture.

     

 

Mark ~ I “loove” you Dad!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, I said loove with thirteen exclamation points!

 

Our dad truly is a super dad…our google calendar proves it!

Thanks dad for being so super all day and every day!  We loove you (13 exclamation points)!

5 Little Fish Swimming in the Pool!

Yay it feels like summer!

5 little fish went to the Elk’s Splash Pool.  The big boys and Dad went to Raging River Water park.

A great way for all to spend a hot and sunny summer afternoon!

Thumbs up to a great Bismarck weekend of Caleb baseball, family (Papa, Gramma, Uncle Greg, Aunt Cece, Uncle Bob, Auntie Melissa, Bro, Kate, Uncle Zube, Auntie Sarah) and fun!

Uh Oh…The Monkeys Are Out!

Bismarck Tribune, Bismarck Tribune…Monkeys on the loose at the Dakota Zoo!

 

 

Thanks to Gramma, Uncle Bob and Auntie Melissa the little Yokom monkeys got to go to the zoo today.  They were very happy to skip watching Caleb play baseball (again)!

Do you hear what I hear?

   Jackpot for our tummies!  First ice cream truck of the year!     Ouch, for mom’s dad’s wallet!

Doesn’t daddy look nice carrying his pink floral Vera Bradley wallet?

Nothing says “Happy Birthday” like a loaf of meat

Come and get it!

Meatloaf, corn on the cob, salad, “moon bread” and watermelon per the birthday boy’s request!

And don’t forget your team spirit!

Go BISON!

 

Go PATRIOTS!

  

Go PACKERS (GG was even brave enough to accessorize her Packer’s jersey with matching socks!)

 

Go VIKINGS and Go new LEGOS!

Mark was SO into his new Lego that he basically missed the whole party!  We had several “football” games planned, but they could not compete with the new Lego!

Go CUPCAKES…Yum!

A super nice family birthday party…and can you believe not ONE complaint that the birthday meal was meatloaf!

I guess it is true what “they” say, “Nothing says Happy Birthday like a loaf of meat.”
