GO SAINTS!

After barbecuing burgers and brats at Como Park for lunch, the gang headed to Midway Stadium to see the Saint Paul Saints play some baseball. Unfortunately the Saints lost, but we had a great time joining in all the craziness that makes the Saints' games so great! The night's game was sponsored by yoplait so between innings they had contestants play games including a yogurt slip and slide and a mystery slime bucket (getting yogurt dumped over your head), etc. And of course, we got out our rally hats and flags by inning 7, hoping the Saints would make a comeback.

And if that wasn't enough fun, after the game we went to the new creamery in town for yummy gelato! Thanks everyone (Marla, Roger, Cindy, David, Laura, Kristen, Aaron, Ryan, Trevor) for coming up and spending an awesome day with us!

Happy 25th Anniversary

My parents' actual anniversary was June 12th, but since all of us couldn't get together, we celebrated today. The night before I baked a cake and decorated it to resemble one of their wedding cakes. They were very surprised! Congratulations mom and dad!

Current Project

I just finished my two most recent sewing projects! The one on the right is a medium sized tote bag and the other is a small clutch purse. They are samples for the Rosemount shop Quilter's Haven and will be on display for a few months or so.

Minnesota Valley Camping

Josh cooking breakfast!

July 20-22: Josh and I went camping with my sister Kristen and her boyfriend Aaron at the Minnesota Valley State Park. It was a great weekend of relaxation, fun, campfires, food, sun, and of course...s'mores! We packed up early on Sunday to stop by our home in Eagan to shower before heading to church in St. Paul. After church, we went to the Como Lake pavilion for a lunch picnic. Once home for good, I took a 2.5 hour nap! I guess doing nothing all weekend wears you out!

Eric & Danielle Barnum

Eric and Danielle's wedding was so beautiful! Both bride and groom sang during the ceremony along with other talented musicians. Inside the church it was stifling hot; thank goodness the reception was in the shade. I had never been to an outdoor reception before. Once it cooled down a bit, the weather was beautiful. It was also great to see so many friends from high school that we hadn't seen in years.

Danielle was a gorgeous bride!Gosh Josh. Couldn't you just smile? ;)
