Bre's Oct in MN

Minnesota is gorgeous all year round... I love it soo much. We spent a week with my sister and did so many fun things. The kids went fishing, on adventures, played at parks, went to a huge fun center, and even made a jaunt to MN largest candy store... it was truly massive. It was such great weather for Oct. We were blessed. The kids even caught a few fish and got to go on a private guided fishing trip. It was great to hang with Bre. We loved her house, the company, and MN. We had such a good time, it was hard to leave!

 Observatory walk

I feel like this pic belongs in like national geographic or something :) 

 Kai and Mei each caught a fish this trip :)

Lazer tag was a serious favorite!

 so were these! and I totally felt my age the next day! haha

 hunted some frogs before we left, turned out to be chocolate ones...!!!

 Peace out MN! Until next time...

SEPT & Grams

my birthday was awesome the kids made me 31 chocolate covered strawberries and we all chowed down. I have a sweet husband and beautiful kids and even though we didn't go out or do anything fancy, my hubby still made me feel special and I love these babies :)

 Kai and Meili on their first days! Kai's in 3rd and Meili is Kinder! So fun :)

 T is doing preschool 2 days a week for 2 hrs it is perfect for him and just enough time for me to run a few errands!

 We even had a couple of trips to Gram, which was sooo fun! She is so spunky! We stayed up late playing cards and just laughing! She told us all her stories about travels over seas and how she met bud and her feelings about life and she is just amazing, we are so blessed to be so close to her and we will get back there soon. So many good times with Gram.

 Mom and Dad even met us there one trip!

 Leave it to dad to be the only one not looking :)

 We have been trying to soak up the last bits of summer just Darci & T & I. These days are good days... :)

 Life is good

Darci 1yr

Little miss Darc turned a year, she is just the yummiest little thing! We can't get enough of her. She is an absolute joy :) She has 4 teeth, 2 of which are vampire fangs on the top and the other 2 came in first, her bottom front ones. She loves balls, says uhho, hi, ball, thank you & peek a boo, she dances, is standing and has taken a step or two, she gives open mouthed kisses with occasional tounge, and pats me when I hold her. She is so snugly and always wants me... and I love it :)

T wanted in on the 1 year pics :) they love eachother

Made her a giant cupcake that matched Mei's

She liked it for a bit, took a few fistfuls and then was done. I think she didn't like the mess on her hands.

Her favorite gift :) This girl always has shoes on her hands, so I thought i'd buy her clean ones :)

 oh and I thought I'd take these just for fun, looks a whole like like miss mei :)

Meili's ...
