Fun in the Cities

We headed out to the cities this weekend for a wedding on Saturday but the fun didn't start there. Friday night we planned to stay with Bryce's sister Julie, but before we went there we spent a couple hours enjoying the waterslide where Rog, Diane, Doug and Roxanne were staying. It was a blast! :)

Avery enjoying her ride down with Julie.

There goes Taylor.

Even Bryce joined in the fun.

Briley showing off her muscles! :) Is it because she had two big brothers that she is even remotely interested in showing off her "toughness"?

Here is Chase - in the water with a smile:)

Wedding Weekend

Briley was in a cousin's wedding this past weekend - Amanda Huisman who married Elliot Anderson from Minnesota. It was a beautilful wedding on a beautiful snowy day. Briley was so excited to be a part of it! :)

The Wedding

The rest of the weekend

After the wedding we went on to Doug and Roxanne Hendersons in Glencoe. It was a short Saturday night, but we made the most of Sunday and hung out 'til evening there. We had a great time and the kids did too! At least I think they did........they kept busy so we didn't hear much from them :)

The girls enjoyed the cupboard at Roxanne's.

Briley and Amber

Thanks for having us! We had a great time with your family! :)

Grandma Daugs stayed the weekend with us

My mom came up to stay a few days with us. Avery had been in the hospital over night earlier in the week with an asthma attack, so G'ma came up to lay low with us. She kept us well fed, only leaving the kitchen for bathroom breaks on Saturday. By night, we were miserable from all the good eat'in all day long...........Thanks Mom! :)

Avery did her own little "baking" on Saturday!

Mom and I took a walk to wear off some of the goodies she baked us!
Grandma got the girls hair ready for meeting on Sunday. They were full of smiles:)
