exhausted

By Sunday night we were all exhausted after a busy weekend! Friday night while I was having my 1st pedicure, and then attending a surprise party for Alice, the last of the CL's to turn 30, Bruce and the kids went over to Timmerman's house to play. The kids loved playing with big Jenna and Issac all evening, and it sounds like they were fairly tuckered out by the time they made it home.

On Saturday we went to a wedding for a family friend up in Elk River. Due to the shortened planning time frame I think that it was smaller than it would have been had she been able to keep her original date, but it was still lots of fun. Her husband will be shipped out to Iraq sometime in the next 6-8 weeks, hence they moved the wedding up. There were a lot of little kids (under 8) at the wedding so it was a blast to see Andrew and Jenna play/hang out with everyone (even tho they had never meet). Jenna made friends in church with a little girl that just turned 3, and kept saying 'Hi' to a cute little boy that is 6 months older then her through out the ceremony, but he was too shy to say "hi' back. Andrew had fun playing with a few of the 'older' kids, and they happily played ball on the dance floor before the dance started. It was an amazing kid friendly wedding. We didn't leave until 10! By that time Jenna had fallen asleep (thanks to dancing with Uncle Nick), and Andrew was definitely showing signs of being tired. Both kids were sleeping by the time we made to the interstate (which was only a few blocks).We wish Jenn & Bryce the best of luck in their new life together!

On Sunday we went to the Timberwolves game. It was the 1st time I'd been to an NBA game and it was fun to go as a family. I'm not sure that the kids understood any of it, but they both enjoyed all the other things that go on at sporting events. Melissa (daycare) asked Andrew how the game was this morning and he told her that they had good hot dogs, pop & mini doughnuts - at least he remembers the food!

Wow - did you see that! :

Bruce and I were only 1/2 joking this morning when we said we should all stay home today & take naps!
