Sara and Justin's wedding

Sara, one of my roommates from college, got married in Ely, MN this weekend on August 16. These are some of my friends from college: from the left--Ginny, Lisa, Sara, and myself.

What a gorgeous outdoor ceremony!

The happy couple!

Sunset on Miner's Lake....supposedly this lake was once a mine, and then they hit a spring and it filled up with water!

Erik and Melissa's wedding

Our friends got married in Southern Minnesota this weekend. It was absolutely beautiful! Everywhere you looked, there was a magnificent garden. Erik and Melissa got married at Berwood Hill Inn.......a farm turned into a bed and breakfast/banquet hall. It was so fabulous and the weather was fantastic for an outdoor wedding!

Here are the four college roomies: Ben, Erik, Tim, and Noel.

The barn at sunset.......breathtaking!

The happily married couple! Congrats you guys! Your wedding was a blast!

"Papa Bo Ko Ko"

I think it's really cute how Evan says motorcycle (bo ko ko)! Here he is on my parent's motorcycle.........totally loving it!

Stillwater Adventures

My mom, sister, Evan, and I went to Teddy Bear Park today. It's such a cute park right in the city! Then we had a picnic lunch down by the water and watched all the boats go by. Evan loved it! :)

the sacred cheese buttons

My mom made cheese buttons for us on Sunday. This is my favorite meal that I get usually once or twice a year. I think it's a German thing that my mom grew up eating. Unfortunately, Evan didn't care for them. I loved them! Thanks, Mom!

tee ball

On Sunday, my parents came over and brought Evan a tee ball set. The two hand thing is still a bit difficult for him. He likes to hit everything with one hand.

Mr. Procrastinator

Evan could care less about bathtime. I never knew 2 year olds could procrastinate, until I met Evan! He loves wearing my slippers around the house!

tubing

Forget the water.............Evan likes riding on the grass much better!
