Busy Summer!

Jeremy and I have had a very busy and fun summer!
Last weekend was our first weekend home since Memorial Weekend.

Summer (so far) re-cap:
-The first weekend in June we were able to fly to Chicago to suprise Jeremy's dad at his retirment party. It was a quick weekend home to Chicago that consisted of a good party with family, the guys shooting the BB Gun at pop bottles (I may have joined in), and finally a stormy day with Karen and I in the basement playing pool and sharing some wine while the guys check out the storms from the deck.
-There were two fishing trips in June. first the Edbergs all went up to Leach Lake and well all we heard from the trip was a bunch of fish stories. Then Jeremy and I, and my parents along with my grandparents met Karen and Alan out in Algoma. Girls did some shopping while the guys fished. This trip resulted in more fish stories and also the girls getting their breakfast paid for by another large fishing group of guys.
-July 4th we had a beautiful weekend up at Breezy Point. And then the next weekend we were off to Mercer, WI to meet with Jeremy's family. What a great weekend! Beautiful cabin, kayaking, sailing, biking, hiking, waterfalls, and games.
-It was another year for us at BBQ Days bean bags tournament in Belle Plaine the third weekend in July. Jeremy was the 2008 champ and well this year with the luck of the draw we were partners, yes, husband and wife. Next year I am making a rule that husband and wife pairs and not permited.

Well that gets us up to date on our big weekends. Other updates: Finley is growing like a weed. This week he even gained his spiderman skills and climbed over our chain link fence. I didnt even know this was possible! But our neighbor witnessed it and she said it was quite the sight. As for the rest of our summer, we have small trips planned for our anniversary weekend this weekend, Jeremy's aunt Sue and David's wedding in Michigan on the 14th, and I have two bachelorette parties in August to attend- Jenna will be getting married on August 28th (my personal attendant), and Becca October 9th.

House projects are wrapping up. We are just finishing up putting some landscaping plants and rock in the backyard and then Jeremy will be starting on the basement. Pictures will be updated by next week from our summer so far!

Enjoy! :)
