Holly, Jesse, Kennedy and Gage stopped by for a quick visit last week after a fun weekend of renovating their Apple Valley townhouse (anyone looking for a rental?).
Sammy and KP played at the wading pool while Freddie napped and Jesse tried to take a nap with baby Gage. Here are all the kids on our steps right before KP and fam headed back to Wisconsin. Gage is looking concerned because moments before a crazy Sammy bopped him on the head with the remote control.
We were glad to see you guys! We hope you move back soon!

Overheard at the Bear Cave
"Please hurry up. You go your way, I'll go mine. We've all got our own plans." Sammy to another kid, trying to hurry out to make the start of Sonic's 2pm Happy Hour. Overheard by his father.

Happy Birthday, Grandma!
On Tuesday night we had a birthday party for Grandma since we were all together. The party hats were a big hit, see picture. :) Grandma's actual birthday was this past Monday, Aug 3rd. Glad we were able to celebrate with you, Grandma!
Cute kids at Port Lavaca Beach
Wednesday morning of last week we took the kids to the beach at Port Aransas. It was Wendy's idea as William had never been to a beach. Our kids have, but they've never seen waves (well, Sammy's been to this beach before so he doesn't remember the waves). The beach was a big hit with all the kids, and we were lucky to get a semi-overcast morning so we could enjoy it a little longer.
Texas trip - July 2009
Since the entire family was already in Texas for Dominique's wedding, we decided to head down to Jacob's parents' place for the week. We were lucky to be in Texas for a recording-breaking July heat wave (hottest July on record!) and drought. We Minneapolis people thankfully did not melt away, even though we thought we might a few times... ! Thanks to Grandma and Papa for a fun week!

Dominique and Moises' wedding!
I've finally posted pictures from the wedding!
My stepsister Dominique married Moises Gonzales on Saturday, July 25, 2009 in Plano, Texas. Jacob and I attended sans kids (thanks again Grandma and Papa!!!). My stepdad James walked her down the aisle (as did her bio-dad, Martin). My mom, Aunt Diana, aunt's man Felix, Cousin Sahvanna, and Sahvanna's friend Sadi were also there. Sadi is now an honorary member of the family, as she put up with my ceaseless jokes about her being part of the wedding party. Congrats, Dominique and Moises!Congratulations to Dominque and Moises!
