Another weekend came and went! I believe we all had a taste of the wonderful weather on Saturday but were quickly reminded on Sunday that the snow, coldy weather is not gone!! It is still cool today, but at least it isn't snowing!!!


We were on the road again this weekend.. We spent Saturday and Sunday in Willmar, MN with my family. We didn't get to the hotel until around 5, so first thing we all did was eat! After that it was time to go have some "Fun" as Micah called it. Yes, we went swimming!! He did ok, he was what I refer to as being a woman! He was happy one second and crying the next. I honestly thought he would freak out more than he did so I was happy. Here are a couple of pictures:

The reason for the trip was that my brother, Mike and his wife, Jody had their daughter baptisted. Keziah Lee is #5 for them! Yes, wowzers!! Craig and I were asked to be sponsors along with Jody's nephew, Drew. Below is the family with Keziah's sponors and the minister.

I thought this picture was a must post! Micah was so proud of his good duds!!
Our family with baby Keziah!
Surprisingly, Micah didn't care that I was holding a baby. He even gave hugs and kisses. Scary!!
This is my family! We don't all get together very often, so we always have to get a picture!!

Whew - WHAT A CREW!!
This is picture of just my brother, Mikes family! Don't mind Kylie (Far Right) - she isn't sad... She is just being poked and picked on by her dad!!! Look at him all innocent!! No, not so much!!
We also tried something new to us! We let Micah sleep with us in the hotel. NEVER AGAIN!! He was a bed hog and he was restless just like me!! I think we all lacked in sleep the next day! It was pretty funny, at about 3:00 AM, Craig got up to get a drink and have a donut.. Micah (with his eyes still closed) says, Milk, Milk, Milk.. He as thirsty, but it was cute for some reason.. Micah was able to catch up on his sleep! He slept through the church service plus he slept from Willmar to Madison! Yes, he slept the entire way home!! I can't say to much, I slept until Pipestone! Thank you to my dearest hubby for driving us home!
Today it is back to the grind. Not to much going on this week. Hopefully we can get a chance to relax a little. Keeping our fingers crossed!

Thanks for sharing your pictures!

Wow, 5 kids....brave souls. 3 is enough for me:) It looks like you had a fun weekend and Micah enjoyed the swimming. My kids are little fish so we do a LOT of swimming summer or not! It looks like you have a great family!

Love the family photo's.

My girls love staying in hotels...only for the pool. Sarah has always been great in the water and doesn't mind too much when we dunk her under. Amanda, on the other hand, was always such a chicken and would scream bloody murder if we even mentioned the word "dunk". Thank goodness for swimming lessons. Now she's a little fish. But, it took almost a year of constant lessons to get her to that point.

Glad to see you had such a great time!
