Ohhh...Well Hello Again!

It seems like my blog is getting away from me! I've been trying to take lots of pictures but it seems difficult when we're busy visiting friends, having birthdays, mowing the lawn, and trying not to move much so we stay cooler!

Monday was my 26th birthday so Dan took the day off work!! This was super exciting because that doesn't happen EVER....A whole day to hang out with him?!?!?! It was 95 degrees that day so we knew we wanted to be in air conditioning so I suggested the aquarium at the Mall of America. We had a great time. I loved seeing Kalvin's face light up when the critters swam next to him! I posted some pictures below. Kalvin really enjoyed it! (the pictures might look differently...) We ate at Ruby Tuesday where I got a giant salad and a glass of white sangria! For supper we cooked appetizer type food in our deep fat fryer (YUM!) and ended the night with a giant bowl of ice cream! The day was all about yummy food and amazing family time! It couldn't have been better!









Kalvin is getting more and more fun (and busy!). I enjoy the moments where he takes a second to give me hugs and kisses or just looks up at me and giggle. Both of us are currently covered in bruises. Kalvin keeps falling down and bonking his head and is getting lots of bruises on his knees from crawling... my arms and legs are bruised from Kalvin pinching me! Hopefully this pinching phase passes quickly! I'm not a fan!




I have a few more pictures that I'll be posting in the next few days so check back soon!!


Stay Cool!

A day at the Zoo!

A friend and I took our kids to the Minnesota Zoo yesterday. I was slightly nervous because the weather was a bit chilly but it turned out to be an awesome day! The kids were happy, the animals were out and moving, and it was so nice getting out of the house with a great friend!

Kalvin LOVED the tropical fish. He kept trying to grab at them which was pretty cute! Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures with the fish because I was too busy holding him up and smiling at him! The kids also really liked the ducks and the flamingos...basically anything that moved quickly! They were unimpressed by things like turtles and sleeping wort hogs... :)

Here are some pictures from the day:














My friend bought her little girl a maraca. Kalvin stole it away...







Isn't he sweet??


Ohhh Kalvin also learned a few tricks over the last few days! He can now wave ByeBye and he can also mimick us when we say "Uhh Ohh"...both are super cute!! He gets more fun every day!!
