Random Stuff

I've got all kinds of pictures from the last month that I have been wanting to post. I'm too tired to think of any creative posting themes, so here's a bunch of random snapshots of the last month.

A nice family photo from Halle's dedication and our last Sunday in Winona.

Kaia at the Minnesota Zoo a few weeks ago. She had a really good time. She liked these goats. We didn't buy any food pellets, but they licked her hands anyway. She kept trying to get them to lick her face like Kylie does. She kept saying "Kisses, kisses". Thank goodness the goats weren't into it. Gross!

Kaia has been practicing on Daddy's guitar. Mark my words, this girl is going to be musical when she grows up.

Kylie is sleeping with her tennis ball. She rarely gets to play with a ball in the house because she's naughty with them, so I think she was cherishing the moment and keeping a close watch over her treasured toy.

Finger paint!!! Need I say more?

Halle Gets No Love

I decided that Halle does not get enough attention on the blog. She's so darn cute, but she just doesn't do things that make for good stories, until today. Halle slept through the night last night! Yay! Now, I am aware that it could be a fluke and she won't do it again for months, but I appreciate the good night's sleep I got last night. So this blog posting is in honor of only Halle.

Mall of America

This weekend we met our friends, the Motz family, at the Mall of America. We hung out at Lego Land, rode some rides, and had lunch. For the first time ever, I went to the MOA and bought nothing but food. Crazy!

This is for Adam Swift

Adam Swift and Mike came up with the "funbrella" addition to The Rock during their hard working days at Fastenal. It's the funbrella, get under it, you know you wanna....

A Beautiful Fall Day

Last week when it was still warm, Kaia and I enjoyed some time outside. These are pictures of our street. Isn't it beautiful? On the way inside we found a caterpillar on the side of the building. Kaia didn't really understand what the fuss was all about.

Kelly's Pictures

Kelly took these pictures at the park about a month ago. Aren't they fabulous? I would have guessed they were professional. It's too bad Kaia had that big scab on her forehead. I've already asked Kelly to do another photo shoot when it's healed.

Going Away Party

Bob organized a nice going away party for us before we left Winona. Good times were had by all. Here are some pics. To give credit where credit is due, some of these pictures came from Heather's blog. Thanks, Heather. Please don't sue me for violating copyright or something.

I know we don't look it, but we're sad to go. We miss everyone already!

Heather and I. Why does Mike always have to ruin a good picture???

Mike and Eric Falls along with Marcus's head.

The Saukes bought Mike a milkshake maker as a going away gift. Mike is notorious for ordering a malt at a restaurant whenever they are available. Oreo malt if possible.
