Surprise Visit and Rodeo

Saturday morning we received a telephone call from Kenneths' parents saying they were on their way down to Delano for the night. For them, it's unusual for them to just decided something like that so last minute and do it. Saturday night we spent the evening at the Rodeo in Hamel, Audrey's first Rodeo. Audrey enjoyed every minute of it, she slept 80% of the time! The other 20% of the time she was either eating or trying to burp!

Today, Sunday, we are having a brunch with them. Mitch is making egg bake and I am in the process of cooking monkey bread! Audrey is sleeping away and I am surfing the net while drinking my coffee with caramel vanilla creamer. Delicious!

First Vacation

We all survived our first vacation with Audrey Jane. Our first stop was at grandma Mary's in Verndale and Audrey met some of the aunts/uncles/cousins/grandparents on that side. After that we headed to Ada for a 2 nights to hang out with Grandma Ruth and Grandpa Dan. Kenneth got to work in his garden while in Ada. Audrey and I got to go on walks. Then we headed up farther North to the lake were Audrey met a ton of new people! Many people from the Evans side...aunts/uncles and cousins were there to meet her! Audrey was able to enjoy her first 4th of July party at the lake, had a baby shower (Audrey got many amazing gifts), went to her first parade in Warroad and put her feet in the sand! We did family photos as well while we were at the lake. On Monday we headed back south, first stop was Earls drive in, then off to Ada for another night (grandma Ruth got up with Audrey, so we got some good sleep that night).

Kenneth went fishing with cousin Cary and caught a 28 inch walleye, he said it was the highlight of his trip!

Our good friend Arleen Billberg and my amazing sister, Heidi, planned the baby shower and made some amazing treats!!! Arleen also did the catering and food at our wedding, she is amazing at what she does!

We had a blast on our first trip, we enjoyed spending time with both families! It's always nice to get back home and I think Audrey was also ready to get back to the place she calls home as well. The last night or two on our adventure-- she stated getting a little more cranky before bed time (she gets that from her mother I think!).

Adios for now...
