Horses, Wedding, ER and Cars!

We had a busy weekend!!

Friday night was our annual Canterbury Downs trip for Kelly's Birthday.  Michael and I brought Meghan and two of his hockey friends, we met up with the college girls, husbands and kids.  Meghan, Brexton and Adrian had a blast playing together... Meghan even learned what a combine was... thanks to Kelly, who likes to teach everyone what a combine is!

We have learning more and more that Meghan is a... very aggressive girl with the boys!  The whole group happened to look over at the right time to catch Meghan grabbing Bexton's face and planting a BIG kiss on his lips (wish I would have gotten a picture of that!)


Saturday we had a wedding to go attend: Michael's friend Mickey got married at Fort Snelling and had the reception at the Ramada.  Meghan had some much fun dancing with the kids.  Again, very aggressive with getting the boys to dance with here.

On Friday we noticed that Meghan had a red bump on her neck, we thought her car seat strap just rubbed her.  On Saturday the bump was getting bigger, redder and harder.  We sent a picture to Kerriann, who said it looked like it was her lymph node and we should take her in. So, 9pm we headed to the ER.  The doctors were unsure if it was a lymph node or infected bug bite.  They decided to try benadryl to see if that helped with the swelling, which it did! So we were discharged at midnight with benadryl and antibiotics


Sunday was Back to the 50's!  My dad was in town, so Michael, Meghan and I met him there.  We saw a beautiful cars (I think my new favorite color is orange!), and even had pronto pups (my favorite!).  After the car show we went back to Grandpa Anderson's house and spent some time there.  Meghan had a great time playing with her grandpa... and she got her first birthday card, which she was very excited about!

Little Louie

Michael's old neighbor friend Kristen (and Steve) had an adorable baby boy on Friday June 15.  We drove out to River Falls to meet the little Louie and see how Kristen and Steve were doing.    We saw Kristen a week before she was due, Meghan helped encourage Louie to arrive by yelling "Come out baby!" to Kristen's belly. Meghan had been so excited to meet Louie since I keep telling her the baby came out, we need to meet him.  

She did a pretty good job with him (I think as well as a 2 year old can do), but when Michael was holding Louie, Meghan had a melt down, she could have cared less when I was holding him, but she did not want to share her daddy!

Meghan has a Pottery Barn blanket with her name on it, that she loves. We thought it would be the perfect gift for for Louie, so Meghan had to bring her blanket to show Louie that she had one just like him; it was very cute!

Mpls Nights- St. Anthony Main

I recently bought a photo safari on Social Living, from Midwest Photo Safari, I did the "Mpls Nights- St. Anthony Main".  It started promptly at 8:32; we were able to get fabulous photos of the sun going down and the lights glowing on the water.  The Stone Arch festival was going on, so it was really busy, but we still managed to get great photo.  I loved this class and strongly recommend it to anyone, it was a blast- and time flew by, I was shocked when I got in my car and it was 11pm!  So here are the photos, enjoy!

How to Stay Cool in Hot Weather

Daddy was out golfing this weekend for a bachelor party and Mark was working, so Meghan and I spent a hot 90 degree day breaking in the kiddie pool at Grandma's house!

Meghan had so much fun with her new pool, I'm shocked at how much she is starting to like the water!

We has some snacks, while sitting pool side- taking in the sun!

  

Since it was so hot, we had to make sure we stayed well hydrated; even if that does mean drinking right from the pool or the dog's water bowl!

Believe it or not, there was even a little swimming!

















Meghan had a great time hanging out by the pool!

Sara came to visit us too!

As always, the sand/water table had to be played with, which means Meghan in standing in the table!

Little Baywatch move!

Oh it is so much work to be this cute!

After our long day at Grandma's we went home.

Once we walked in the back door Meghan found her Dora umbrella and we were back outside...waiting for rain!
