June

Thomas is out on a coast guard boat tonight with a friend which gave me the perfect opportunity to jump on my blog. I only blogged once in June!? Wow! Where does the time go?

Highlights of June...

Joanna and Shane got MARRIED!! Yep, they tied the knot on June 12th in the fastest ceremony ever, only 5 minutes and 43 seconds. We didn't time it or anything. It was an absolutely perfect day for them. We're so excited to have Shane in our family.

Thomas' brother, Nate, his wife, Kathy, and their two boys, Brody and Andrew came for a visit. It's always fun to have family around. They arrived Friday night and we grilled out. Then sent all the kids to bed while the four of us played Wii and talked. The next day ended up being incredibly hot so we went to a near by park and let the boys play. We have a park that's only a few blocks from our house (not the same one we went to with Nate, Kathy and the boys) that we take Garrison to and he never plays on any of the equipment. I bring a bucket and shovel with so that he can play in the dirt when we get there. However, when we went with Brody and Andrew he played with the bucket and shovel for a few minutes and then wanted to try out some of the equipment. He ended up having so much fun, especially playing peek-a-boo with Thomas in the slides. Nate with Brody (left) and Andrew (right)Last week Superior was actually warm. We had a whole week straight of being in the 80's with NO lake wind. It was glorious!! We pulled out Garrison's pool on a couple of the days and let him play away. I thought he might not like it at first, but I was completely wrong. He jumped right in! I almost wished it was big enough so that I could have joined him.

There are the highlights of June. Hopefully, I can do a better job of keeping up in July.
