Goodhue County Fair

We went to the Goodhue County Fair last Saturday. Connor was still too small for most of the rides, but Matthew had a great time! His favorite was the Super Slide.

Kindergarten Boot Camp

Matthew attended Kindergarten Boot Camp August 10th - 13th. This picture was taken on his first day, before the bus came to pick him up. He didn't talk about it much, but he seemed to enjoy it. He was disappointed when it was over. It's hard to believe I'm going to be a mother of a kindergartner very, very soon!

Splashin' in the Wagon

Connor absolutely HATES baths, but he does enjoy playing with small amounts of water. Here he is splashing water around in the wagon on a hot July afternoon.

A July Day at the Park with Grandpa, Grandma, & Uncle Mark

Yes, I know I've been a very bad blogger lately. It's time to do some catching up!

Mom, Dad, & Mark came over for dinner on a mid-July afternoon. We went to Colvill Park after we ate, and I think everyone had fun. :) They recently built this huge, new playground there for the kids. It's very, very nice. We are so blessed to have so many nice parks in our hometown.

And you've gotta love the pictures of Connor with static in his hair - priceless. :)

Fun in the Sand

There is a large sand area at the Colvill Pool for the kids to play in. Matthew & Connor both had a lot of fun! Connor really isn't a fan of the water yet, so the sand area was perfect for him. Matthew played in the sand while they were on a safety break at the pool. It's wonderful to have such great places for kids to play right here in town! :)

Pictures Of My Boys Together

Let me tell ya ~ it's nearly impossible to get a picture of these two together ~ or one where they are both looking at me & smiling anyway. :)

4th of July

We had a busy, yet fun, Independence Day. We started the day at the McNamara family picnic at Rosie's Park in Goodhue. The food was very, very good, as usual. :) And we got to see some extended family members that we hadn't seen since last year. And Matthew & I spent some time in the pool. The water was a bit cold that day, but we had fun anyway.

After the picnic, we went to Uncle Mark's for a bit. He showed us his new computer, and how he has it hooked up to his television. It was really cool, and it is a really nice setup for a single person. We also enjoyed some Casey's Pizza while we were there.

When we got home, Connor was pretty tired, so he went to bed. Dave & I set off some firecrackers for Matthew to enjoy in the backyard. He had a blast!
