Vikings!!!!!

Last weekend Eric and I spend a fantastic weekend in Minnesota with family and great friends.  For his birthday I got plane tickets and Zack and Jessi got us all tickets to a Vikings game.  

Friday night Jake and Kari picked us up and we went to Surly Brewery, 

We met Zack, Jessi, Cruz, Jon and Melissa at Haute Dish for dinner.  We had a lovely private room and the food was delicious. 

The most important part of the trip, meeting Cruz for the first time!!!  We are smitten. 

Jessi let us watch him for a while on Saturday and we took a beautiful (and a bit chilly) walk with Cruz and Charlie.


Onda warming up our bed.

The sun and the trees and the chilly weather made everything seem so clean and perfect.


Zack and his mini me.

Saturday night Zack and Jessi had some friends over they brought their kids. It's so fun to see Eric's friends with kiddos.  Chole is 9 months and just starting to crawl. Jon was tempting her with food to get her going.

Eric and Chole. 

Roman, Chole and Macy.

Eric and Jon's oldest, Roman.

Tony and his mini me, Macy.  It makes me smile just thinking about all of them!!

And Sunday, Game Time!!  We had an awesome breakfast at Lowery's and then headed over to UofM.


Our seats were perfect.  And in the sun which made a huge difference!!  An amazing day and game! 

It was military apprecation day and they brought out all of the branches for special presentations, that stuff always brings a tear to my eyes.  The cheerleaders were even dressed as the 4 branches of the military.



Sometimes you are lucky enough to have friends that turn out to be family.  That is Zack and Jessi and now Cruz to us. 



I want to go back and relive every moment of this past weekend, it truly was so so fun!!  We are lucky to have such incredible friends and family.  

A shout out to my handsome dad for Veterans Day.  And a huge thank you to both of my parents for watching the boys while we were gone and putting up with the puppy.

October 2015

When we have clouds the sunrise and sunsets are amazing!

Ty took Auggie to school and he was a big hit with the ladies.



Luke's hair is getting so long he loooks like one of the ladies!  I can put it in a pony and he keeps growning it.  I love it!

Game time chatter.

I was channeling my brother in law Jake with some awesome pizzas on the grill.

A little halloween shopping.

This kid loves his books so much!

PSHS game with the boys.  Ty has gone to a few now, he has friends that are freshman...it's a matter of time.



The twins getting Reagan in the team spirit.


We went to Reagan's Oc2berfest birthday party last weekend.  It's weird now having the older kids at the party.  Everyone said what good babysitters Luke and Mason will make,  they loved playing with the littles. 

He loves to lay right where I am working in the kitchen, I'm guessing he's anticipating falling treats.

Another new friend and the first little dog.

Tash and I got to spend a lovely day wine and food tasting at Agua, we had such a blast together!




We all got a kick out of trying on Tash's halloween wig.


A Sunday walk to the donut store.

Two sick boys and a sick dog on our anniversary.  Spent in bed eating take out Thai watching the world series. 


The boys scooped the pumpkins then got bored so it was up to Halloween Spirit maker Eric to finish them.


Lord Voldemort and Draco Malfoy, Ty was an Angels player but not coorperating for my photos. 

I don't know who we look like with these on but I like it!

My little mini me Luke.

Sunday a bunch of us took Niko to a drag show brunch for her birthday.  Eric was less than thrilled.  FYI, if anyone comes to visit, this is NOT on the list of things to do, according to him. I thought it was awesome!


After a long weekend and a time change, it's always nice to fall asleep on the couch in an awesome outfit.  Happy November!!
