Everyday joys

A few recent pics of everyday life around here...

Blake on 'his' bike (no one tell him that boys don't ride pink bikes because he could care less and loves feeling like a big kid...and he hates wearing shirts!)

A few recent funny quotes from Blake....

randomly, when riding in the car, he announced, "I have big eyebrows"

Upon entering the bakery in Eagle River when we were up at Stormy Lake one morning bright and early, "Mommy!! I was born here!"

Dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, Maynards, with good friends...the kids were enamored with the huge fish in the water just under the dock 

Another night out with friends.....just before #3 was born!!!

And what would an evening be with boys being boys....scaling anything that can be scaled!

(This picture was blurry but I had to post it just to show the crazy places Blake finds himself in!)

Having friends from church over to our pool one HOT afternoon

And while the kids were jumping, I noticed that these were the shoes Sadie wore to the pool. Gotta love the creativity in this girl and the confidence she has!

And along those lines, we were recently going to a Twins game and drove past the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. Many people would call the building 'weird' or 'unusual' or 'very different' at best, but Sadie's immediate reaction was, "Look at that cool building!"

Yes, art definitely speaks to this girl....in many different forms!
