Calvin's party

We had Calvin's party this past weekend and he had a ball. My mom was in town for it and all Jim's family came over to celebrate as well. It was really hot that day so the kids split their time between fishing outside and eating inside. Thanks, everyone, for coming over and celebrating with us! Enjoy these pictures

Calvino is 3!!

Yesterday Calvin turned 3 years old! Where has the time gone? We had a great day together. First, we all went to the driving range together and all practiced our driving and putting. Next we did a little birthday shopping then grabbed lunch and headed to a favorite park for playtime and a picnic. That afternoon we stuck close to home. We fished (caught 4!) and played in the water table. Here are a few pics from yesterday and from 3 years ago. Pictures of his party to come soon! Happy birthday Calvin. You are so loved!

1st Annual Blaine Triathalon

This past Saturday Jim participated in Blaine's 1st Annual Triathlon. Jim stepped out of his comfort zone with the biking and swimming portions of the event. He trained so hard for this race and did great despite the heat and 30 mph winds. My dad and Linda came into town and got to help me cheer on Jim and corral the kids. Not sure I would have made it without their help! Later, they took the kids out to dinner and put them to bed so Jim and I could enjoy a celebratory dinner. Thanks Dad and Linda!

Jim, we are all so proud of you and love you very much!! Here are some pictures!
