Our holiday weekend

Our weekend started out like this....

Grass!!!

Ellie was so excited we found her like this.....

The following day, July 4th, we took a road trip to Brainerd. Abby and Ellie celebrated with their extended cousins on Lake Sorenson.

Bye Bye Beer Lady

On Thursday Abby, Ellie, Jade(steph's child), Bear, and I went on a walk around the block. As we were coming home our neighbor lady was outside having a beer. I chatted with her for a while then we made our way home. Our neighbor lady brought over icecream for the kids and we offered her a beer. As she was leaving, Ellie of little words SCREAMED out, "Bye Bye Beer Lady"!!! Ryan and I turned to each other and said, "did she just say bye bye beer lady"????

Our neighbor turned around and almost fell to the ground laughing.

The best part of the night is that our neighbor could not get a word out of her all night!

Summer

Our summer has been extremely fun and extremely busy!

Abby is the only girl on her soccer team. At first I was a little nervous that she would be left in the dust. Boy was I wrong. I think she is more aggressive when she runs with the boys! In fact, she scored her first goal last Monday! Of course we had to celebrate, so Culvers it was!
