A weekend at home....

Hope you all enjoyed the past week!

We had a pretty uneventful week. We had our last birthing class Wednesday night- we talked about breastfeeding for the majority of the class so I'm sure you can guess how happy chuck was...

This past weekend, Chuck put up the trim in the basement while I scrapped dry mud from the floor. We're hoping the carpet can be installed this week...then on to the baby's room!

Saturday we went to Chuck's family reunion at Uncle Louie's house. It was fun as usual and good to see everyone...there was a ton a food so we went home stuffed!

Today I went over to a friends house and did a little card making...good to get out of the house for a couple of hours.

Other than that we had a pretty calm weekend...it was good to be home!

Congratulations Mindy and Kellen!

This past week Chuck and I were able to enjoy some fair food! Yummy! Cheese Curds and Fry Bread! Oh yeah! We went to the Itasca County Fair on Wednesday night.

This past weekend we were in the cities for Mindy and Kellen's wedding. The ceremony and reception were held at Majestic Oaks golf course- it was a beautiful wedding and a ton of fun! The sun came out just in time for the ceremony and Mindy was a beautiful bride.

On Sunday we enjoyed the day with the fam-Mom, Dad, Ryan, Missy, Tom and Izzy- Maggie was enjoying a day at Valley Fair with a friend. It's hard to believe Izzy is getting so big and she is starting to walk! She's a very active little one and has taken a couple of steps! Mom and I headed over to achievers after everyone left and got a scrapbook shopping done- our fav! :)

We didn't have quite as busy of a week as we have been, which was nice.

Enjoy your week and the warm weather!!

Girls Weekend

This past weekend was a blast! It started out by getting the test results for the personal auto insurance test I took awhile back and...I passed! Only 1 more class to go until I earn my CISR designation!! Yahoo!

Friday night we headed down to the cities and stayed with Matt and Kathryn. We got there around 10pm so we were up late chatting with them...it's always so fun to see them. Chuck poured a slab for Matt on Saturday and I headed out for my annual college girls weekend. I always look forward to these weekends with the girls! We all agreed to meet at Mel's around 1ish so before hand I ventured to Albertville Outlet mall where I ran into Krista and Lacey- two of the other gals that were going to be there! Where do I run into them of all places? Motherhood Maternity! Lacey is also pregnant and due 3 weeks after me! We did a little shopping and then headed to Mel's to met up with Mel and Erin. We chatted for awhile then decided on Brit's Irish Pub for dinner - the service was not so hot, but we enjoyed each other's company. After Brit's we went Zeno's dessert bar for some carrot cake, chocolate cake and the raspberry cheese cake- it was delicious! We ended the night at ComedySportz- if you haven't been there, I recommend it. The improv is great! (that and Lacey's Chuck Norris jokes before hand made it all the more fun!) I had never heard the Chuck Norris jokes until Saturday when they came rolling out of Lacey! She bought a new book, "The Truth About Chuck Norris" for Aaron and was reading them to us...too funny! Just thinking about them makes me laugh! Sunday morning we enjoyed Mel's blueberry pancakes and then went to the farmer's market. Afterwards I headed back to Matt and Kathryn's where Chuck and I got our butts kicked by Kathryn (aka Chuck Norris) and her Dr. Mario moves...it's pretty sad she can play 6 levels a head of us and still beat us! (she even plays on high speed!!) Chuck said she actually beat him about 10 times earlier that day...so we referred to her as Chuck Norris...haha! It was a fun weekend with friends! Even though Chuck poured a slab, he and Matt still squeezed in some R&R time :)

On our way home, we managed to stop by Menardo's to buy trim and carpeting...the rooms will be done soon and we can't hardly wait!

Have a great week everyone and remember...Chuck Norris doesn't leave messages, he leaves warnings...haha!

Fresh cut fields...August is here!

This past week we were able to get some more little projects done around the house. The porch now has mulch under it and we finished the landscaping around the new egress windows. Chuck painted both of the bedrooms in the basement and started framing in the windows. Although he was not so happy about the paint since he'll need to put on a 3rd coat...He's going to the cities this week to do a driveway so he's going to stop at Menard's and get the rest of the trim. Once the closets and doors are installed, up goes the trim and our last piece of the puzzle...carpeting. We are so excited to have the rooms done! We are both looking forward to having our own little "hobby" rooms. This has been something we have looked forward to since we bought our house 3 years ago. Next on the list...the baby's room.

Our weekend was pretty mild, other than painting and windows, we didn't really do too much. Paul cut our field on Saturday which makes me realize August is here and fall is on it's way.

We stayed home Friday and Saturday night and went to Margie's last night for my birthday din din. The food was excellent like always and we played cards...3 to 13- always a good time! We have a lot planned for the the remainder of the month and in September so we'll have plenty of busy weekends a head of us!

The baby has been active as ever! Kicking away all the time! Last night when I was laying down, we could actually see my tummy moving from all the kicking! Crazy!

Enjoy your week!
