Last Week

Once again the weekend and weeks are flying by!
My sister arrived from Germany. It is great to have her here. She was supposed to get here on Friday but her plane was delayed until Saturday.
Saturday we went to the Sturgis Falls parade. The rain let up just in time for the parade to start. I was happy to share it this year with Hayden. The parade is something I have attended yearly since I can remember. After the parade we grabbed a bite to eat in the park and headed home for a rest. Later in the evening we headed back down to meet up with some friends. We stopped by to chat with my friend Missy and her family. It was great to see them all. Then it was over to the jazz festival to hook up wit the Moreau/Knutson clan. We had a fun time. Sara and I sent the kids home with the guys and hung out for a bit on our own! We ran into some people from high school and did a lot of walking!
Sunday we went to church and headed home. We brought Ingrid back with us.
Monday we took Hayden to the splash pad at Tucker Park (where we will be having his birthday). Hayden LOVED crawling around getting sprayed with water.
Tuesday Ingrid and I took Hayden to family swim at Knolridge. They open the pool up on Tuesday and Thursdays from 9:30-11:30 for families to swim. It was soooo warm outside by 9:30 we had a great time cooling off in the pool. We met my friend Lisa and her girls there. Hayden loved floating around the BIG pool in his floaty and yes going under the waterfalls and getting splashed.
Tuesday night Ingrid went back to my moms because they were headed to KC to visit my step brother and his family and see their kids play sports.
Wednesday we went to my friend Kari's and swam. My friend Shawna came also. It was nice catching up with Shawna.
Yesterday we had Kindermusik. Last night we went to Brucemore for the Hot Air Balloon glow. It was a beautiful evening. We sat on our big blanket and danced to the live band. There were a lot of people there and Hayden had a great time watching people and the balloons.
Today my sister is coming back and I have to run some errands. We are looking forward to a fun weekend with Ingrid and being at home for once. Hopefully we will get something accomplished at the home front.
We bought Hayden his big boy carseat. He loves it! When I got it out of the box and set it out in the living room he was climbing in it instantly. I decided to buckle him in to try it out. He sat in it for a good 5 minutes and didn't want to come out of it right away.
