4th of July

We spent the 4th of July weekend out at Pelican Lake. We had fun going on pontoon rides and hanging out with the Vigen family. I even went swimming for the first time in the lake; it wasn't as clean as the pool, but I liked it!

We have had such a fun and busy summer-- filled with weekends at the lake, weddings and landscaping at home. I can't believe its half-way over. I am enjoying being outside, although I don't like the sunscreen that mom applies all the time! I am scooting all over... not quite the normal crawling, but pretty close. I am such a happy girl-- I sure make mommy and daddy smile! :)



HAPPY 4th of JULY!! My outfit that mommy got me last summer before I was born... it fit perfect!

Just picking the grass... I like to stick it in my mouth, which mom doesn't like too much!


Picking the grass again...



Waving the flag... how patriotic I am, even a tear!


I think I should be a "flag girl" for the Goldstar Marching Band... or not.. :)



All tuckered out... taking a nap on the pontoon... this seems to be a pattern this summer

Jake is holding the umbrella for me while I relax... I have him trained already!

What do you know... more grass!



Mommy and me floating on the lake


Playing on the pontoon




I am such a good girl!! (When there is no grass around)


Grandpa even let me drive!!


So happy!!



I love my exersaucer... I jump and jump and when I am done I get to play with all these toys!


Reading a book in the tub!


Now I am trying to eat my book!



I love bath time!




Hi Mommy!!!



Don't we both have lovely hats!!


Me and Grandma are the perfect pair... we both love to sit in the shade!

Jake is testing out my carseat!! Silly Jakey!


I was able to "swim" on my own!

Tim & Jenny's Wedding

On June 22nd, mommy and I made the long trek north to Buxton. We stayed there all week; it was filled with fun-filled activities getting ready for Tim & Jenny's wedding. For those of you who don't know them, Jenny is mommy's best friend. They live in Las Vegas now; we hadn't seen them since February when we went out there so it was fun to see them again. Daddy joined us on Wednesday. We spent the week going to bridal showers, swimming in Grandma & Grandpa Vigen's pool, going to the Newcomb's, and going to the wedding.


The wedding was so much fun; Jenny looked so beautiful! It was such a perfect day, with the exception of that hour and half that we had to sit under the Alerus Center bleachers for a tornado scare!




Mommy found me in a very interesting position one night at Grandma & Grandpas.... I didn't even make a peep! :)



Hanging out at the Newcomb's house... I loved snuggling with Tom-- you can tell he has experience!


Playing by the pool at Grandma and Grandpas!



Swimming with mommy... I loved this!!




Splish- splash... I was kicking my feet so much!!




Sitting with Grandma Doris... watching mommy and Grandpa float in the pool.

Our family!! My eye is a little droopy here... all better now though!!



Eating my fist... still one of my favorite things to do!




I had so much fun playing with Kadence! She loved to give me big kisses. Here we are with our daddies!



Me and Nancy




I found some new friends at the dinner...



Mommy with her friends-- Liza, Jenny, & Amber. Mommy kept saying how she was so happy to spend time with "her girls" all week! I sure hope I have friends like mommy some day!

Mommy with Jenny at the dance! They sure had fun!


Chilling with daddy in the "holding area" while the storm passed through GF.


All tuckered out... sleeping at the dance...


Wait a second.. I didn't get to dance with the bride!! I woke up about half-way through the dance and got a chance to dance with Jenny!

Summer Fun

More pictures from the lake and other summer fun...


Me with Grandma & Grandpa Jaehning; they came to visit the other weekend. We went on a fun pontoon ride together!
Playing with the toy that cousin Gogi got me!


My favorite thing to play with... paper!


Grant is sharing his tractor with me... how yummy this is!



We had a tornado watch about a month ago at home... I feel asleep under the steps in the basement! I guess the noise and all the rain made me sleep better.


Sleeping with daddy... that's the best!



Playing in my chair... not for long, I will squiggle out of it!



Mommy and me on the pontoon!


Uncle Brent has his hands full!



Happy Father's Day, Daddy... I am reading him his card!
