Out and About...

Even though we did not go on any 'big' vacation this summer, we really wanted to still get the kids out of the house and have some fun out and about...

Cooper and Auntie Dana on the slide at the Carver Co. Fair

Izzy got carted around in the Mody wrap A LOT this summer... so glad she loved it!

More fun at the Carver Co. Fair... Machinery Hill.  And check out Coop's new tat.

Up close and personal with a 'horsie' at Caterbury.  Cooper was in HEAVEN.

Missy and Izzy snuggling at the races

SO MUCH to see.

Our pool sprung a leak the weekend before this crazy heat wave... Doesn't it look pathetic?

But we QUICKLY found a new one! 

More trips to the Zoo... up close and personal with the leopard this time!

"Wook at that BIG tongue MOMMY!!" Feeding giraffes at the MN Zoo

Izzy was more curious about the cracker than the huge furry thing ready to lick her little fingers right off!!!

I cannot believe that today was the first day of workshops... the first day back to reality: work. Bleh.  I am so blessed to have the opportunity to spend extra time at home with my family in the summer.  I do LOVE my job, but I just am not ready for summer to be done.  We had so much fun over the last few months!  The kids are growing sooo fast, and I really cannot believe how much they have changed over the summer. 

Cooper and Izzy, I loved all our adventures this summer, and I'm looking forward to making the most of our evenings and weekends home... I hate that someone else gets to spend more time with you than me while I'm a working mom, but I know you're in good hands.  Kris is helping us raise some pretty amazing little people :)  Love you both!
