Lake Minnetonka Fun

We spent Sunday on Lake Minnetonka with Charles and Beth.  The weather wasn't the most cooperative (cloudy and windy) but at least it didn't rain.  The boys had fun in their hot tub, jet skiing, we took a fun boat ride to dinner, and played in their game room.  For not having children of their own, they sure know how to spoil ours when they come (right down to the Twizzlers and Sprite the boys love)!  :)  What a fun, fun day for all of us!

Jewelry

I didn't have a lot of time to work on jewelry this weekend, but I was able to make the most important pieces - baseball necklaces for me and my 2 favorite baseball Moms on Carter's team.  :)  We have so much fun together - it's not only about cheering for our boys - it's also about our girl time.  Love our Tuesday and Thursday nights!!!  XO

Griffin is #1, Carter is #7, and Caeden is #10, our favorite express players:

Track and Field 2014

Ryan and Carter both had their track and field days this week.  They had good weather, thankfully.  It was so fun to watch them - they were both so excited!!!

I love the look of determination on all of their faces!

Happy kiddo - 7 events and 7 blue ribbons.  Not a bad day!  ;)
