Happy Independence Day!

I hope you all had a great weekend! We spent Friday night at the Twins game with the Hoelscher family. Brecken stayed home with a baby-sitter, and it was his first time with a "real" (non-relative) baby-sitter. I was pretty nervous about it since Brecken is very skeptical of "strangers" right now, but he did GREAT! The only bad part was that the tornado sirens went off and our patio table was shattered from the storm, so  it was quite an eventful night. The start of the Twins game was delayed about 2 hours due to the weather, so we were only able to stay for about 4 innings.

Then Saturday we headed up to Osakis to celebrate the 4th with the Hoelschers and their family friends, the Schorn  family. We went for pontoon rides, played bean bags, and Brecken had lots of fun in the kiddie pool with his friends Hank and Charlie. (He actually got to hang out with some boys instead of his many girlfriends ;)

We came home late Sunday night hoping that Brecken would sleep on the way home. Well of course he didn't fall asleep until about 30 minutes before we got home :( Luckily at least he stayed asleep when DJ transferred him to his crib, AND he slept in until 8:30 this morning :)

Today DJ mowed the lawn and we had some extra family time which included a trip out for ice cream :)

Happy 4th of July, everyone!

We're going to head out on the deck to enjoy the fireworks of the neighborhood.
