Mall of America

We beat the heat at the Mall of America today! The kids (and Eric) had a blast! Sadly, Christy had to work, so she missed out. I volunteered to be "keeper of the bags." I'm not as brave as the rest of my family. 😅

Nature

We spent some time enjoying nature yesterday. It was fun to explore new trails! 🌳

Buck Moon

I waited out back for about half an hour so I could get a shot of the full moon tonight, but my phone didn't do it justice. It was a lovely night, though!

Berry Yummy

I was a little too late today, but I found some handy-dandy berry picking baskets at the store! The kids had already picked about 2 pounds of berries, and dessert was fantastic! We have our work cut out for us over the weekend....the raspberries have established themselves in 4 different locations around our place, and they're ready for pickin'!

4th of July

Eric is about to start the nighttime show! Happy Independence Day, everyone! 🇺🇸

Welcome Home

God welcomed us home with a rainbow!

Texas Trip

I'm finally getting around to posting pictures of our whirlwind trip to Texas! We had a great time, and made some amazing memories! We're so thankful for our family!! 💓

Twins' Birthday

Tom & Troy are 11 today! We just wrapped up their birthday party. Happy Birthday to our T 'n' T Dynamite Duo!! 💛💚

Birthday Movie

I took the kids to the new Jurassic World movie, as an early birthday gift to the twins. They love all the Jurassic movies! Christy, Becca & Jackson were there with us, as well as Jackson's sister, Joy. I didn't get them in the picture. We all enjoyed it!
