Family!

We had a great weekend with family! My sister Kari and her kiddos came for a visit (We missed you Roby!) Loved spending time with them!

We don't really look related...do we?? :o)

Marshmallow Mouths: Noelle and Carson!

Something must have been interesting over there! :o)

Our beautiful niece and Goddaughter Noelle!

Cousin Carson...taking good care of little Eli! :)

On the Move!

Our baby boy started crawling today!

I happened to be at the right spot...at the right time...so we caught it on camera! :)

Eli!

Here are a few pictures baby Eli!

Stretching? Celebrating?

How did Eli get way over on the grass?? :)

Keepin' Cool

Grace and Eli were keeping nice and cool by taking a dip in their pools!

Hmm....Looks like Grace was trying to do a somersault in this picture? :o)

A silly smile from Eli!

You can see his new top tooth if you look really close! :) And a smile from Gracie too!

Beach Day!

What better way than to spend a hot and toasty afternoon at the beach! :)

We LOVE summer! Can't believe August is already here... :(

Our little beach baby!

We love Eli's little scrunchy nose smile! :)

And one more Eli smile!

Kisses from Daddy...

Grace loves the water!

Shovels are tasty! :)

Cousin Time!

We're spoiled and we got to have some quality cousin time twice in one week!

The boys stopping for a quick picture for Auntie Heather! :)

Grace taking a peek!

My wonderful sister Kim! :)

Carson giving a nice big smile!

Rice County Fair!

This afternoon we headed to my hometown for the Rice County Fair!

We enjoyed the day with Aunt Kim, Uncle Chad, Cousins Carson, Ryan, and Grandpa Greseth!
Our favorite parts of the fair were the animals, FOOD, riding machines, and the racing monkeys!

Grace learning how to milk a cow! :) Didn't take her long to figure it out... :)
Seeing the real cows...

Looking at the kittens...

Goats...
Carson and Grace looking at the ducks!
Eli enjoyed seeing all the animals too! :)

Making animal sounds....

We also saw some sleepy pigs...

And baby goats...

Tractor tires...

Carson and Grace were all buckled and ready for a ride!

Carson was ready to roll!

Next we took a break to watch the banana derby!

Grace got to try some cotton candy for the first time while we waited for the monkeys!

Cousins...

The two racing monkeys!

Monkey #1

Monkey #2

And there he goes... :)

And that about sums up our day at the fair! :)

8 Months

Eli is already 8 months old! (WOW!)

He's getting REALLY close to crawling! He's trying!

He just figured out how to get from his stomach to sitting up TODAY! (Uh Oh! Time to lower the crib mattress! Soon this little guy will figure out to pull himself up to stand!)

We love his little scrunchy nose smile!

He thinks it's funny when Grace sits on him (Crazy boy!)

Eli still thinks his big sister is the greatest!
He chews on anything and everything he can get into his mouth!

He still loves jumping in his jumperoo!

He makes the cutest and funniest little noises!

He's such a sweet and happy little boy!

Big Smile

This little boy gives us some of the biggest and best smiles!

Here's a classic Eli smile...

Break Time

Grace took a little break from playing this morning and sat behind Eli...to watch a little Elmo!

Eli didn't seem to mind... :)
