Spring is finally here!

I have to blow the dust off these keys.  What a long long time.  But it is spring once again and I am loving the sunshine!  The one day of it at least.  :)  Many things have happened since September.  I am working full-time as a customer service rep, I am also still trying to do a little photography.  In between there is always cooking and cleaning, laundry, and most most important being a mom to Jason and Mia.  They have grown so much.  Josh also is working a couple of jobs.  He is working for Verizon also being a customer service rep.  In the time he isn't at Verizon he still works for Quest Advertising shooting and editing commercials for local businesses.  He is also excited about helping to shoot some video for a few weddings.  Jason is almost done with his first year of kindergarten, he is ready to be done with school.  :)  We have some fun things planned for the summer:  soccer starts June 3rd, we have a family mini-vacation in Iowa, and a family vacation in Virginia.  I have two cousins getting married.  And who knows what we will come up with to keep life fun and interesting.

North Mankato Fun Days

These pictures are in no particular order.  Later I'll probably be posting some of the 4th of July. :)  Oh well. This was such a great family outing.  We recommend it to anyone in the Mankato area.  I don't think we did all the activities.  We always love parades!

 Jason was wondering when the parade was going to start.....

 I noticed this couple across the street reading their papers.  I thought, "how cute!"  They were just enjoying the beautiful day waiting for the parade reading a paper. :)

 Then we found a little petting zoo at Wheeler Park.  Jason and Mia were having so much fun petting the animals until.....

 One kitty grabbed on a little too tight.

 Mia spotted some horses!

Jason

During the summer months we try as much as we can to go to the park and play outside.  So we tend to get a lot of park pictures.  These were taken at Seven Mile Creek at the request of Jason. :)  He is growing up so fast!

June

June began with Josh's birthday and Jason and Mia staying for 2 whole weeks down at my parents house in Missouri.  So we got to do fun things, just the two of us.  We played tennis, ran, went to the beach, it was a wonderful kid-free stay-cation.  Don't worry we missed them too.  We called almost every night. :)  One of the things we got to do was frisbee golf.

 We are intense frisbee golfers it looks like! ha! :)

The end of June brought another move.  The week or so before we moved the pool was finally open.  We couldn't NOT swim before we left.  I am in love with how these turned out!! They are so some of my favorites of the summer!

 Top fav below!

 He's so die-hard.  He's freezing but won't stop swimming. :)
