Ooops...I've fallen off the blogwagon.

I haven't blogged since March...holy crap! It's July 10th today....I can't believe it has really been that long. It sure doesn't feel that long. What can I say...I'm a slacker. I guess it's this little thing called "life" that keeps getting in my way. Anyhow, here are a few highlights from each month since the last time I blogged.

In April, Andy was amazing enough to send me off on a little vacation to Las Vegas. I went with my two sister in laws and my mother in law. It was awesome and a welcome break from responsibility. We went to an outdoor Gary Allen concert, Cirque Du Soleil - Zumanity, and best of all....on our last night we attended the live taping of Brooks and Dunn's "The Last Rodeo" which has since aired on CBS. It featured something like 15 singers including Faith Hill, Taylor Swift, George Strait, Tim McGraw, Jennifer Hudson, and a ton more. We had great seats and it was a once in a lifetime experience. We went to the Titanic Exhibit which was kind of neat. We did a bit of gambling, people watching, shopping, and just exploring. Ate at a few amazing places. It was a great trip, and I would love to visit Vegas again because there is so much to do and see.

In May, Andy (along with brother in law Anthony and my dad) put up a fence around our back yard. I am SO glad we did it, I love it! I wish I had a picture of the final product since Andy cleaned up the posts sticking up and now that the green color is gone and grass has grown in. It really looks great though!






In May we also did some traveling. We went to Crane Lake:


While we were in Crane, we of course visited Vermilion Falls, including taking the annual tree picture:






We also hit the cities so that the girls could play with their cousins Taylor and Piper. We went on a walk along a gorgeous, quiet trail (yes, this is in "the cities"...but you'd never know, would you?)






Found some turtle eggs...a squirrel had unburied them and eaten a lot of them :-(


Played a little...


Mommy and daddy even got to go to a Twins game, without kids! (Thanks Danika and Anthony)


In June, we took some time to explore Duluth.




We also went to the Land of the Loon in Virginia:


and visited Grandma and Grandpa's house.


July so far has brought two bucks to visit:


And found us on Lake Leander:




At my parents house again:




And Crane Lake for the 4th of July:









Phew! So that's the last 3 months in short. Kind of.
