Sunny days... sweeping the clouds away - on my way to where the air is clear....
Another picture post. I just love all of these and couldnt bear to choose between them... Hopefully you will enjoy them as much as I do!
Park days with Nick, Mia, Grace and Addie - oh how we love spending time in the warm fresh air with our best friends!

The "wee ones" enjoying the breezy swings...

Mr Nick and Ms Grace - the old married couple!

Beautiful rainbow picture (one of the few dusk rains) David took this one!

Nick's sweetheart Morgan, walking hand in hand to the park...

Smiley Miss Mia enjoying the warmth on her cheeks...

Mia is now able to catch herself when she starts to tip over! That's our girl!

Morg and Nick swinging at the park by Angel's house!

Mia's favorite way to spend the afternoon... I swear she would swing for hours if we would let her!

"Uncle" Geoff spending some time with Mia - at lunch with the 'gang' at the Blue Door Pub in St Paul. We were honoring our friend Josh's dad. (his dad passed away suddenly a little over a year ago - and yesterday was his birthday.)

Nick with his first ever face painting -- A BIG HUGE rocket ship! We were at a birthday party for Julia and Maria (my friend Jenny's daughters!) The theme was Pirates and Princesses... What a wonderful morning!

Nick is so protective of his baby sister...


Daddy and Nick taking a break from running through the yard playing!

Princess and Pirate Party... Nick was taking a break from jumping in the big inflatable castle to read Mia a book!

Ahoy Matey!

My Pirate and Princess!

Nick and his water toys - we have loved this awesome weather!

Running through the sprinkler for the first time this season!

Mia laughing at Nick as he runs through the sprinkler! She is really into pointing at things lately - so funny!

Mia story for the week - On Saturday morning she really wanted us to wake up -- David walked up to her crib to lift her out and she squealed and said "Da Da Da"!!! Precious!

A fantastic playdate at the park with some old friends Megan and Molly... Have I mentioned that I love facebook? I attribute most of my fun mommy friends to being connected to facebook. It is the best way to reconnect and find those other special stay at home mama's. Anyway - we 'parked' it on friday, then walked up to Wendy's for lunch. The kids got along famously and I really enjoyed the company of Molly and Megan. Here is Riley (Molly's daughter) pushing Mia in the swing while Nick waits "his turn" to push his sis.

Here is the group (minus me and mia, of course - I am getting pretty good at taking photos one handed!) Molly giving Nick an underdog (or as cutie pie Riley and now Nick call it - "a hundred dog"), Riley, and to the right, Megan and her adorable daughter Adrienne.

Nick LOVES playing at the park - and so do I. I did get my first sun burn on Saturday at the pirate/princess birthday party - but I learned my lesson. I burn. No matter what time of the day it is... Sunscreen 100%.

We are flying right into June... and tomorrow my nephew/god son Keaten turns 3. Oh - how they grow up so fast. We are celebrating tomorrow night with a pizza party and then this Saturday we have a double party for Nick and Keaten with my side of the family. Looking forward to that!
Hope you all are enjoying the evening with your windows open and winding down from the weekend!
