Rebecca & Peter’s Wedding

Thanks to Roey we do have some pictures from Rebecca and Peter’s wedding.  Thanks Roey!

Myron made a new best friend at the Wedding, Roey’s daughter Andréa.  He is still talking about her.  I guess beautiful energetic brunettes are his thing. :)

Dada made a friend too… (Rebecca I chuckle at how similar our husbands are… must be that good MN stock).

I drank my first can of pop at Friday’s reception, loved it!  

Myron’s favorite wedding shot.  He wants to know if the car has rocket boosters.

Mama’s favorite parts of the Wedding, catching up with Darci, Julie and her family, and Rebecca.  A wonderful Saturday.

The concept of a recipe

As we sat down to have a smoothy for breakfast…

Myron: I don’t want it to taste different.

Mama: Oh, does Mama’s taste different than Jenna’s?

Myron: Yeah, why is yours different mama?

Mama: Because Jenna follows a recipe.

Myron: Recipe makes it good mama… what’s recipe?

Mama: It’s directions on how to make something you eat.

Myron: Mama you need recipe!

(Just as I thought my son was joining the ranks of my recipe-urging friends….)

Myron: Mama you should buy recipe.

Mama: LOL…Oh, honey mama doesn’t need recipes I have all the directions right up here (point to my head)

Myron: (thinking for a moment) Oh, that’s good Mama… but I like Jenna’s head recipe better.

More MN

A trip to MN would not be complete without a visit to see my great grandma Stender and cousin Erin.

I love my cousin Erin….

love… love….

LOVE!

We finished our trip with visits to see cousins Sophia and Briella and Rebecca and Peter’s Wedding but our pictures from these trips are…. a little soggy. 

My day with Ivan

While in MN, I got one whole day with Ivan (and his mama, and Delilah, and Mama, and Dada).

We started the day with smash’em bash’em eggs.

Then we explored the Little Falls Zoo (just my size).

We fed the donkey…

And played with the bear cubs… Ivan played…

I played…

And even Mama played with the bear cubs.

Then Ivan gave me a ride through a tunnel.

We then headed up to the cabin for dinner…

And ended the day with a boat ride.  What a day! 

Minnesota Days Part 1

We arrived at Papa and Grandma’s just in time to play in the big black truck…

Then we took in a little of Mama’s favorite, the St. Paul Farmers Market.  They now have horse rides.

And Dada took me on my first scooter ride.

Then we went to cousin Joshua’s graduation. I liked his blue hat and dress.

Then we drove up to Little Falls for Delilah's Baptism. 

There were a lot of boys there and a lot of plaid.

Highlights from the day included playing parachute….

little park play… (like father… like son)

And oh so much fun with bubbled in the bath!

All this in just our first two days in MN.  It was a very busy trip!

San Fran Saturday

It has been unseasonably cool here so we decided to skip the rainy day at home and headed to San Francisco.

The Academy of Sciences is having a summer of slither… so many cool lizards and snakes there. This is an Agama (Mama’s favorite).

This was a wiggly water monitor.

The aquarium had an Eel that was interested in me.

“He’s blue Mama.  That’s my favorite color.”

Myron was very into the fish on this trip.  “This is a really, really, really, really, really, big fish Mama”

He also enjoyed the ‘little scientists area’….

“I’m making an inspection Mama”

The trip would not be complete without looking at my favorite water critter….

The sharks!

I slept through the Golden Gate Bridge but enjoyed our rainy day in San Fran.

Garden Days

Our backyard had a transformation.  The desk was ‘holey’ (literarily) so it was removed and now we have a little garden in it’s place. Bring on the summer BBQs!
