Bock Fest 2010

February 13th... I'm a little behind (what else is new?!)

Mom and I worked our usual post at Bock Fest, setting up one of the food stands. It was my second year in a row of being pretty pregnant so I'm looking forward to next year. That Bock beer looked pretty good!

Keith's uncle Dan had a pretty awesome hat! That's a lot of Schell's Beer bottle caps!

Me and Mom

My drunk cousin, Brandon. That'll be me next year! =)

The crowd...

Another shot of Dan's hat. He said that it took about 40 cases of beer to get all of those bottle caps. Wow! Good thing he's got connections at the brewery. =)

GOAL!

I am getting lots of pics uploaded tonight so there will be lots to check out soon! This was a quick and easy post. Chloe and I were watching the USA vs. Canada hockey game today (not really but the TV was on) and when they scored the tying goal I hollered "Goal!" with my arm raised. She thought it was hilarious and kept doing it if I did. Cute!

Water Park Vacation

February 5th - 7th... We went to The Lodge at Brainerd Lakes for our first 'family of 4' vacation! (http://www.lodgehotelsbrainerd.com/) We left Friday morning and got home Sunday afternoon. We went with 6 other families and had a GREAT time! I didn't get a lot of pictures of the other families but there are a few. Here are some of my favorites...

Jared snapped this in the backseat... pretty good job!

She was amazed by these things...

The not-so-lazy river...

In the room. Ready to go for more!

Lounging...

The treehouse. Jared was trying to squirt everyone that was nearby.

Chloe LOVED watching everyone!

Jared LOVED the hot tub... It even went outside!

Watch out below!

Afternoon nap time... they were out cold.

SO BIG!

Jared, Hunter & Dustin outside

Jared & Afton. It took me 5 minutes to talk him into getting anywhere near that bear skin. There were animal mounts everywhere in the lobby and it freaked him out!

Family picture by the fireplace in the lobby...

The main entrance. That moose was a full front mount... legs and all!

World record Walleye...

He wasn't tall enough to reach the rope so this was his method of crossing...

The waterslide outlet. Water shooting out of Babe the Blue Ox's horns...

Mom and the kids floating...

She just loved floating and watching everyone!

The view from the second level...

This video cracks me up! Her knees were getting sore from the rough floor and the carpet in the room wasn't very soft so she figured out her daddy's method of crawling. Too cute!

Ultrasound - 28 weeks

I had another ultrasound Monday morning to re-check the baby's renal pelvis and fluid levels. I guess it was measuring larger than normal at my 20 week ultrasound. I got a call from the clinic Monday afternoon and the nurse said that everything looked normal now so no need to worry. Great news! The technician was really great and she gave me a CD of some pictures since I didn't get one yet. She had me close my eyes several times "just in case something appears".

Jared's Machine Shed

January 31st... Keith started building Jared's machine shed. It's massive but I'm sure it will be full with all of his equipment in no time. Jared thought it was going in the house but we had to break the news that it's an outside toy. Next will be the paint job... my department.

Chloe had to check out what the boys were up to in the garage.

Best buds

She was out there for about an hour. Keith was making all sorts of noise with the skill saw and jig saw and nailer. Not sure how she fell asleep but she did!

Yep... it's huge.

And he LOVES it!

Swimming at Vogel

January 29th... We went swimming at Vogel Arena on Friday night with some friends and family. Haven't done that since I was young! The pool was a little chilly but the kids had a pretty good time. Chloe's favorite part was the hot tub... warm! Jared was there too but I neglected to get any pics of him. Sorry, buddy!

Ashlyn & Chloe with their matching hooded towels.

They were having funny... really!

Why are you making me sit here? Let's go swimming!

Chloe was picking on MaKenna... hence the worried look... it was too cute.
