Mini Golf

We all went mini golfing with my parents. Audrey ran around like crazy the whole time chasing golf balls, and the boys worked on their swing. 

Daddy time

Audrey loves when Dad comes home from work. She loves telling him all about her day, and giving him big hugs.

Mall of America

My parents and I took the kids to the Mall of America. We went to the Crayola Experience for the first time. Everyone loved meeting the characters, the big light bright, and drawing on the big screen. 



Frogs

Bryce loves finding frogs in our backyard. He's still our little frog whisperer. 

Gaga and Bob

Audrey had so much fun with Gaga and Bob on their summer Minnesota trip. Here's a cute picture we snapped. 

Canoeing

We went out on the canoe over the summer. The kids had lots of fun, and none of us fell in, so that was a plus!

Tire Swing

Audrey's favorite thing to do is get on the tire swing with the boys. She lets them push her so fast and laughs and laughs.

The boys

We had friends over who have 3 boys, and I grabbed this picture of all of the boys with their Legos. 

Brothers

Audrey loves playing with her brothers. These guys always have a good time with her, even if she's putting her jewelry on them!


Fishing

Look at that fish!

Gooseberry Falls

On the second day in Duluth we went to Gooseberry Falls. It's a beautiful spot with waterfalls all over the place. There were lots of rocks to throw in the water, frogs, and fish. Such a fun vacation!




Duluth

We took a great vacation to Duluth at the end of the summer. It was absolutely gorgeous there. We had lots of outdoor and water time "up North".



Lots of smiles

It's so nice to get a picture with all 3 kids smiling, right? Love these kiddos!

Just one (or two) more jewelry picture

This must have been Audrey's jewelry phase. I just can't not put these pictures up though, she's so cute!

A little mud

We had some serious mud out in the backyard, but that didn't stop these kids from playing outside. I can't even believe the amount of dirt that got on Audrey. 

More jewelry

Audrey found a new way to use her stacking rings. Girlfriend loves her jewelry!

Swimming

The boys took lots of swimming lessons this summer. Bryce learned how to swim across the whole pool this year!

Brotherly love

These boys can fight with each other like nobody's business, but man do they love each other (and look like each other!).

That face

When I added this picture I thought it was Bryce holding a frog. As I look closer I think it's a flower, perhaps a dead flower? I have no idea why I took this picture, but this face is so Bryce that I have to post it. 

Pool party

Our good friend's son, Edison, had his 5th birthday party at a fun park. The party favor was a donut inflatable that most people tossed around. Audrey was the only one that could fit it around her tiny waist : ). All of the kids had a great time splashing in the kiddie pool. 

Selfie at the Lake

Over the summer, we found a fun little beach spot at the lake. It was tiny and just us, making sand castles, and Conan got some good fishing in. These guys love the water!

Cheese

This Audrey smile always cracks me up. Look at those teeth!

A nice calm walk

We found a path over the summer that went along the lake. Halfway through, I was thinking this would be our new evening ritual, it was beautiful and calm. That sure didn't last long! Audrey's face sums up how the rest of the walk went. Needless to say, this picture was the last time we went on that path : ). 

Accessories!

Audrey has always been a fan of jewelry. It cracks me up when she decides she needs to wear all of the goggles as necklaces!
