Randoms & Memorial Day Weekend

Life has been busy with many things on the agenda.
*Vacation Bible School is coming up and thus my job has been extra demanding. However, I love it! It's my favorite week of the year and I love the preparation for it!
*I had a garage sale with 3 other friends and it would seem that we have a prime location for garage sales, as we all seemed to do rather well and are even opening back up one day this week to try to sell off the rest!
*Jeremiah has had softball, "Men's Night," and other random side jobs (fixing/maintenance on small engine things for people) keeping him busy.
*Jonah started t-ball a couple weeks ago and seems to be enjoying it a little more than last year. But we'll see if that continues when they start to do coach pitch and the games get super long (and boring!!!!).
*We are wrapping up the school year and I'm finding it hard to believe that next year I'll have one child in first grade and one in pre-school.

**We had a great Memorial Day Weekend!
Jeremiah's mom came on Friday and Saturday to do projects with us!!! Friday night the two of them put on the storm door that I had wanted for Mother's Day. I LOVE being able to have my front door open and a breeze going through the screen! Then on Saturday we were able to move the swingset from the neighbors yard to ours (Grandpa Rob and Grandma Bonnie bought it for the kids for Christmas). We were so thankful to be able to get a really nice one that was already assembled and only needed to be moved from the people who live behind us!
Saturday night we celebrated with my brother Michael and sister-in-law Susie who recently graduated from St. Thomas University with their Master's Degrees! They had a big 'ol grand party and it was lots of fun!
Sunday we took it easy after church and I napped for 3 hours!
Monday we headed to Shoreview to spend the day with Grandma Judy, Uncle Josh, Auntie Stephanie, Hannah, Emily, Auntie Becca, Ryan and Addi. On Monday night I was EXHAUSTED from a busy, but very fun weekend!


Here are a few pictures from our time at the park on Monday.

This was the best picture we could get of the 5 of us. I guess that's how life is with three small kids... or should I say 4? Jonah and Aphia are looking at the camera, but the biggest and littlest kids aren't :)


Here are the cousins on the slide, oldest at the bottom, youngest at the top!

Hannah, Emily, Jonah, Aphia, Addison, Isaiah
