Let's just back up in time and pretend that I am super on top of things and have time in my life to blog every Monday at 10am as is what I could do in my ideal world [in my head]! Man oh man...I am Behind!! Better late than never, right??
Well...a couple of weekends ago, we had a great weekend celebrating family! Our weekend started off by celebrating the graduation of these two amazing ladies!! Hannah and Sarah had a super fun grad party that consisted of amazing soup and breadsticks, a float and ice cream sundae bar, and lots of great salads too! Food is one of my favorite parts of any grad party, and these ladies didn't disappoint!
Adelyn rocked the party!! She kept busy all day and could have cared less if I was even there!
One of our favorite parts was that all of Adelyn's little cousins were here!! My cousin Jessica and her three kids even came in from Maryland and Adelyn just LOVED playing with all of her adorable kiddo's!! And of course, cousin Claire is always a favorite for Addi to hug and love on!!
Happy Graduation Party Day to two of my favorite people ever!!
The next day, since Jessica and her family were in town, we decided to have our annual Seekel Summer Bash and hang out with family again. It was a great day by the pool with lots of food and swimming and kids running around (I just LOVE that sight). While I failed at getting any pictures of the actual Seekel Party, I did manage to get some pictures of my husband in the emergency room that day! Yep, that's right...during the party, Michael stepped on a beer bottle and shattered it, and so we took an afternoon trip to the ER where he got 4 stitches in his VERY bloody and cut up foot. Yuck.
So the next few days Michael had to take it easy and try to keep his foot elevated as much as possible. I took that opportunity to "let him rest" and took the girls to the Mall of America for a day of shopping. I even managed to get both girls by myself onto the ferris wheel for a fun ride...
And we went to Lego land for a little bit so Adelyn could play with legos while I fed Olivya (I was proud of myself for such a strategy!!)
Monday night then we dropped the girls off at my parents house and met Holly and Chris for our annual Twins night out! We started at Brit's Pub for some great happy hour specials and then made it to the twins game. Even though we got SMOKED by the Yankess (booo!!!), we still had a great time. And great seats!!
Funny story...a guy sitting next to us offered to take our picture and he said, "Oh that's a great Lifetouch picture...do you know Lifetouch?" and Chris ended up looking up the company and it turns out that the CEO of Lifetouch photography was sitting right next to us. (I'm pretty sure they are the ones that go into all the school and take the head shots that you get to pass out to all your friends! haha.) . But the funny part of the whole story is, that this picture of the 4 of us isn't all that great! You would think a CEO of a photography company could do a bit better than that...even with an iphone! too funny.
What a great weekend spent with lots of family!!! Whew! Non-stop fun is what we're about these great summer days!
