This is how I have had to play with the last few weekends!!!

While everyone was working on the house I got to entertain the kids.  We tried to find as many things do do as possible.  We went for bike rides, to the park, to the pool, to the parade, walks, grandma's house, you name it we may have done it.
Below are a few photos from the pool last weekend.  Devin has a pair of goggles and has been trying to swim under the water with them.
 Devin went and sat on Alexis while she was laying in the pool.  So, she decided to tickle him!!!
 I love this photo of Chloe and Devin.  We are at the parade and it is just starting and he was holding her hand!



 Fun at the park.

 Thinking they need to work on the house too.

New Siding

Over the last few weekends my brother, sister-in law, a friend and Ben have been working on our house.  It started off with Ben and I working on pulling off the old stuff and then my brother showing up and working hard on installing the new siding.
Below is a picture after the first weekend of work.
 Here is the garage with the old stuff on, but a new door.
 The guys hard at work in the heat and sun.


 As of last Saturday we have the house done and a good start on the garage.

Mud Run

At the beginning of June I did my first ever Mud Run.  Myself and a friend headed to the cities for a fun filled morning of playing in the mud.  It was a really hard course, but it was a lot of fun.  It was a 5K (3.1 miles) and had about 10-12 different obstacles to go over, under and through.  We were one muddy and stinky mess when we finished the race.





Summer fun in May

May was a really nice month when it came to the weather.  We had many days that were more Summer like than Spring like.  We got the Sprinkler out and some fun toys with the neighbors.

Happy Mother's Day

What a beautiful day Sunday was.  The weather was perfect, the sun was out and it was warming up really nice!!!
 We spent the day as a family and just kept things low key and enjoyed the day. 


Dance Recital

Last Saturday was the Big dance recital in Blue Earth!!!!  And I have to say I am so proud of my little man because he DANCED!!!!!!  Being a dance teacher you want your child to dance, but with mine I was not sure it was going to happen.  Devin tends to be on the shy side, but he went right up on stage and did his thing.  For being only 4 years old and danceing with boys that are atleast 2 years older than him if not older, he did a great job.
 During intermission of the first show, Devin's cousins came back stage and took a couple of photos with Devin.
 I love this one of Kayla and Devin.  This is how it usually is between the two of them.
 Rachel is one of the other dance teachers. 
 A former dancer was in town for the last few weeks and was a special music guest at our show.  On Friday Devin and I were extras in her music video that she was recording uptown.

 This is Devin's new smile.  I think he thinks he is being funny.
 Devin and his dance teacher.
 Peace out it was time to go and get some sleep!!!!


Prom

I took Devin to Grand March at the end of April so that he could see some of the older girls that he knows.
Kayla and Devin!!!
 Haley and Devin
 Kayla and I
 Cassie and Devin
That was one long night.  He say them each walk and then he was ready to go even if the Grand March was not done.  But once we got to go on the floor to see the girls he was fine.
