Up at 'Gramps' Lake Place

The family stopped at Nelson's for a very filling and delicious breakfast before getting to Clearwater Lake. This restaurant had a great variety of bakery items which made me wonder what "sweets" Kendall will like...will she like doughnuts like Jeff or Smores like me? Kendall has been wearing a little fountain hair-do lately so we had to snap a picture next to the water fountain right outside the lake place. (Kendall says "HI EVERYBODY")
We stopped by to visit Jeff's Aunt Tamie...which was a short golf cart ride away from Ken's place. Rachel and I had a hoot observing the golf cart habits of the campground residents.
By far this is the BEST golf cart at the campground...Kyle (Jeff's cousin) did an awesome job with the Mustang theme! Kendall seems to like it too...she's following the family tradition!
Kendall wanted to do more than just soak her feet in the water resulting in her pants getting soaked. I think she will have fun in June when we start our Sea Turtle swim class at the YMCA.
After putting Kendall to sleep and sadly watching the Pitts. Penguins lose the first game in the last Stanley Cup Series we sat around the fire listening to campground musicians. Ken (Jeff's dad) along with the others entertained us with lots of songs...harmonica, guitars, singing and good company (maybe a little beer) made for a great campfire night.
Jeff's Grandpa decorated this golf cart...Made in the U.S.A. And yes, that is duct tape which comes with a scary, but funny story!
Kendall is laughing at the story...silly Great-Grandpa Floyd!!
I have no idea what these two are talking about...either the duct tape on the golf cart or the money Kendall has riding on Detroit winning the Stanley Cup?!?

Memorial Weekend in Hibbing

Kai (Kendall's Hibbing buddy) helping her stack blocks.
Kendall had a great time with my younger cousins (Alexia and Scott) up at Jim and Susan's Lake home. She was really sad to leave the them.
Kendall with her Great, Great Aunt Mary
Kendall is mad to have her swinging interrupted...she enjoyed the swinging.
Someone stole my camera to snap a picture of himself...you would think this would be a relative of Jeff's but actually he's my cousin and godson Scott. Scott and Kendall share the same birthday! After Kendall went to bed we watched a series in the Stanley Cup Playoffs...GO PENGUINS!!!
Kendall hanging out with Lisa and Scott. She really enjoyed being in Lisa's arms throughout the weekend.
Silly Great Uncle Jim!

What a messy eater!!! Wait until she can eat snacks at Great Aunt Barb's.
Tip: Always go to her house with an appetite.

My Aunt Barb has a huge flower garden and I can't wait to see it in full bloom this summer. Kendall liked hanging out with the garden turtle and she got a colorful birdhouse from my Aunt!

Fun in the Sun

This week we had some beautiful weather and we took advantage of it by getting outside for walks and some gardening. Below is a video of me catching Kendall chewing on her wagon...her face says: I know...it's "uckers!"

Our First Mother's Day Weekend

We had a very delicious breakfast at Key's Cafe. Kendall thought the restaurant had the best fruit yogurt!
Happy Mother's Day!!
Ever since the baptism/Easter weekend Kendall thinks all cards are for her to play with!

Kendall loves Mom!

On Saturday we attended Kendall's friend Annika Grace's baptism. The church was so beautiful and the ceremony was very nice.

Congrats Annika!

Kendall and Dad hanging out at the church

Kendall praying for "kitty," if I haven't mentioned it before Kendall just loves Izzy our cat.

Becky with Annika...Annika's grandmother made her beautiful baptism dress. She looked so pretty and seemed to enjoy being with her family and friends.

Craig, Becky, and Annika

Kendall had such a great time at The Sandbulte's home...she enjoyed playing with Annika and some new toys.


The girls having some tummy time together before bed time. Thank you Becky and Craig for inviting us to your daughter's special day, we had a lot of fun with your family.

Guess who came to visit Kendall for the weekend!
