we went to vero beach for the weekend with my family. it was such a nice get away. lucy and edy really enjoyed the tree swing grammie and papa have in the back yard. uncle matt got lucy a really cool bubble gun so she would want to hang out with him and it worked...she loved it! my brother, jamie, their huge dog charlie, jamie's parents and i took the boat down the river to the "redneck riviera" they call it or the inlet and anchored up for a few hours. the water was absolutely gorgeous and the weather was just right. kortney came over to do some shopping for the day and hang out. we had a great time.

today we went for a ride in the good old wagon that we had been missing when we were in minnesota. it was a pretty quick trip because it was extremely scortching outside, but it was fun.

when we got back the girls went in edy's room to play and they were having so much fun just being silly. they really are best friends and it's so much fun to watch their relationship grow.

man of the house!

i've started watching a friend of a friend's little boy, his name is lars and he's three months old and a real cutie. lucy and edy can't get enough of him. lucy is such a little helper...she helps feed him and burp him and she just insists on laying with him to play. it makes the days go by much faster and it's fun to have a boy around here.

i was in walmart this morning walking through the summer section and noticed this pool that i just had to get for the girls. when i blew it up it was much smaller than i imagined, but they loved every minute of it!

we miss you already daddy, hurry up and get back here!

it's gOOd to be hOme!

we had a blast while we were gone, but it sure was nice to be HOME! the girls went nuts roaming familiar territory and playing with their long lost toys. the best part was horsing around with daddy, they love that!

today was the perfect day, mother's day. it started when jd brought me breakfast and a beautiful bouquet of yellow roses and the sweetest cards from edy and lucy. we packed a lunch and went to a park down the road that overlooks a lake and has a really fun playground. we quickly ate our picnic and took lucy to the playground. the plan was to stay there, but the wind was so strong it was freezing us to death! so we went to st. paul to the children's museum for some inside fun. we had so much fun watching lucy discover new things. on the way home we had a scrumptious dinner at olive garden. i feel like the luckiest mom on earth to have lucy and edy in my life. they are truly the light of my life and so much fun. thanks to my husband for planning such a great day, it was perfect!
