Where are your Shoes? : Rambelings and Pictures

I’ve started writing today’s blog entry 3 times now. Just can’t seem to get in the groove this morning. Spent a nice relaxing weekend with the family. We headed over to my aunt’s house yesterday for swimming and BBQ. It’s always good spending time with my family. My two cousins are turning into such teenagers, having friends over and spending hours gossiping with them. I remember when those girls were Dakota and Dalton’s age. Now they watch and play with my kids like I used to watch and play with them. My aunt gave Dakota a giant horse, it’s taller than Dalton is. She really wanted to sleep with it last night but it’s too big for the bed so it stood next to her bed all night. I got out of bed to find it standing the middle of the living room this morning. It looks like D has a favorite new stuffed animal. Just as long as she doesn’t want to take it to the store with us! She is currently using it as a bed as she watches Jake and the Neverland Pirates.

I just realized I never wrote about our trip to SD. I’ll keep it short: We had a great time. It was so good to spend time with my all grown up little brothers. Dakota and I stayed with Robbert and Corey and the new baby while my Aunt Angie, Lauren and Sarah stayed with my mom. Robbert and my mom only live 4 blocks from each other so it was easy going back and forth. We ate outside almost every night enjoying the weather. It was a bit cold and we were all driven inside one day since it rained. The rainy day might have been Dakota’s favorite since I took her for a walk and let her jump in puddles. She also discovered “wishes”, you all know them by their more common name, dandelions. So here are a few pictures from SD.
