BFF

I am super behind on what we've been up to so I'll try to catch up. My BFF, Brennan, and her family came to visit us on their way to a family reunion in Wisconsin. We were SO happy to see them and have to give her husband, Kevin, major props for driving them here from Austin, TX. Bren and Kevin are Micah's godparents and we are godparents to their kids, Collin and Liam. Noah and Collin hit it off immediately whenever they are together. Being with them reminds me just how much I miss that awesome chica- another reason to plan a visit to Austin...in the fall.

Brennan and Collin recently had birthdays so we had to celebrate with a cake. :)
We took a trip to the Science Museum and it seemed to hit all the right notes with the boys.

Slip N Slide

I found a slip n slide at Target and we broke it out yesterday. The giggles and pure joy on their faces made it $10 very well spent.

This is why I LOVE my brother Tyler. He gave them both a demo.

Birthday shopping

Shopping at Toys R Us for a birthday gift sure is fun.

St Louis Park Parade

Our new house sits in the most fabulous location. We are two blocks from St. Louis Park and this year we walked to the city's annual parade. The boys loved it, especially the candy.

Haircuts

Shortly after I had Celia a friend told me about her hair stylist who does house calls. Sign me up please! Yesterday she came over to do my hair and give the boys a summer cut. My girlfriend, Jenny, and her daughter Syliva came too. We let the kids watch shows during their cuts and rewarded them with lollipops just like the kid salon. After all was said and done I am left debating the benefits of at home saloning because despite trying to stay on top of the hair it went everywhere. What a mess.

Play

We finally got our the baby playmat last weekend. Celia approves.

her playmate.

New wheels

Noah had outgrown his bike so we started looking for a 16". Shawn scored a well used but perfect for Noah option on craigslist. Noah is pretty excited and enjoying our nightly family walk/ride more than ever.
