Father's Day Weekend!


Our weekend started off with an awesome Friday night! We hosted a house concert in our cozy little home! About 40 or so of our friends came (with 10 or more kids) to hear Rob play some of his new music, Sarah Swenson bless us with her beautiful voice, and Aaron Strumpel blow our socks off! They all have very different sounds and it was awesome to watch them play together!


Warming up...




Rob is the tall one :)


Sunday Rob had church in the morning and then we went for a swim with our Friends. We had a blast hanging out with good company, eating good food, and laughing at conversations that don't need to be repeated...






David, you take a picture this awesome and it will get posted!


Ice cream!

We were all so goofy that day!


Yes thats the ice cream scoop...


Monday Rob had the day off so we were really able to get in some quality Father's Day activities. We started off with a breakfast at I-Hop and then went shopping for Rob's BBQ. While we were out we also found a slip n slide... and I think Rob was just as excited for that as he was for his new grill. 


Pretending that playing on a slip n slide is as cool as surfing...




awesome.

Rob and his new Weber... it might look small but this thing is PERFECT! Rob cooked up some chicken on it, and it was AWESOME! Yay for summers when the men do the cooking!

Camping


A few weekends ago we went camping with a bunch of people from church. It was the first camping trip with both kids, and we had a blast! I'm sure there will be many more trips to come! By the time we got to the lake (only 30 minutes away) Justice was asleep... so we let him sleep and sleep and sleep! Seriously he slept like this for two hours!




While her brother slept, Grace was ready to camp!


Not a bad view!


Finally we woke him up and he was ready to play!


The guys playing "hillbilly golf" or "ladders" I don't know if this is a midwest thing or what, but we've already played it several times this summer.


Campfire time!


This picture is a little fuzzy, but I love how proper Grace looks!


We had a great time, and I think the highlight was seeing all the fireflies! I haven't see them since I was in Europe 10 years ago, and Rob had never seen them! I love it!

Haircuts, Birthdays, and Big News


Monday was a fun day. The boys went for a hike with a friend, and Grace and I ran errands all over town. I love having one on one time with my kids! One of the errands was to get my hair cut.... well here is my new sassy hairdo...





That night a few of us girls went to JP wine bar for Jessie's birthday. I simply love this place! It has an awesome atmosphere, great food, wonderful wine and even good coffee.


Abby had a wine flight... so they all came as a sample... she didn't drink four full glasses of wine at one time... fyi ;)


I passed on the wine (kind of a bummer) but had a great latte


This is the cheese flight with three different cheeses and everything you can imagine to eat with the cheese.


Yay for the girls getting out once in a while...
and having a little fun...



You might have picked up on it... but I didn't have any wine because I am pregnant! Rob and I found out last week that we are expecting our third little baby! We are so excited! Since the first two were so close together it seems like a blur. Now I'm thrilled to do it all over again (I've even been excited about my nausea... I know weird). I'll be sure to keep you all updated and post some belly pics once a start showing!
