Fargo Marathon!!

We had a very busy weekend with lots of family, cousins playing, Chris & Chad running the 1/2 marathon and I ran the 10K! Thank you to aunties, grandma Sue & papa for helping with the kids so we could enjoy the Fargo Marathon. It's always so fun to watch the cousins play, fight & tattle on each other!

Happy to be done...but we had so much fun!

All smiles here but 30 min. later we were all ready for a nap.

My co-runners! We had a great time running in the rain the entire time.

Posing for a pic with my sisters....miss you Amy!

The Thompsons.

Ruby out...baby bjorn never fails!!

Hells Angels!

Loving her papa!

Papa made Amelia a new baby cradle...she screached when he brought it in!

Headed out for a walk with auntie & grandma Sue.

So cute.

RED HOT!

Amelia & her big cousin Ayden who buzzed off his curls for the summer.

Oliver was always in Ruby's space & this was the outcome...they were both a good sport!

Full of sunscreen and ready for the sun!

3rd or 4th picnic of the weekend!!

Weekend back home in Minot with a pit stop in Bismarck!

Getting ready for a walk...all smiles of course!

The grandkids favorite swing at grandma Sue & Papa's house. They fight over it and could swing all day.

Ruby not sure what to think of the grass.

Oliver rockin' out!

Now papa's turn to rock out. Amelia was dancing like crazy until all eyes were on her.

Check out Grandma Sue's form! She did catch a couple believe it or not!!

Posing for a pic with the Clydesdales...Amelia & Abby are not sure what to think while Ayden is all smiles (with some missing teeth)!

Such cute cousins!

The babies....Ruby & Emery.

If you look close you can see Amelia's heading peaking thru the window. There's a tower that you can climb up to get a better view of the animals which I never thought she would and all of a sudden I looked up and there she was!

Auntie Amy & Ayden.

Gorgeous weekend to be outside!!

It was a beautiful weekend outside. Park Friday night. Our first and probably our last garage sale on Saturday. Didn't realize how much work it is!! The girls had fun and we enjoyed the company. Spent time with friends Saturday night and more sun & fun today! Amelia already has a tan and Ruby went thru her first bottle of sunscreen (she's a redhead!!)!!

Getting ready to go to the park. Ruby had her sun hat on so of course Amelia had to have one too!

Ruby's first time in the pea pod...all smiles.

Holding her new favorite toy.

And she's out!

Amelia having lunch outside during our first & LAST garage sale!!

my babes.

Hangin' out at the park with friends.

A night full of fun, food, hot tub and ready for PJ's. 4 tired little babes.

A long day full of sun, no nap & fun. They were out within 5 blocks of leaving.

Mowing the lawn with daddy...he had to remind her to mow the grass & not the cement...

that's better!

Out by 7:30!

MOTHER'S DAY!!

All dressed up for church this morning!

Look at that red hair and.....boogers!

Trip to the zoo....striking a rare pose with mommy!...be sure to check out Amelia's new shades that she must wear everywhere including the dinner table cuz she can see her food better!

Hangin' with daddy.

Monkey'n around with my girls.

Mommy & daddy were too lazy to take Ruby out of her stroller so just look close & you'll find her!!

Rubes checking the donkey out with caution....

Looking for mommy to see why we're just sitting here....

Terrified........hilarious!!

Getting ready to feed the donkey but Amelia chooses to throw it at the donkey instead of letting it eat out of her hand.

Daddy's so brave!...notice how Amelia is sure to stay back!

This is how the zoo ends for Amelia...a ride on a purple or pink horse!
