Fun with Friends (Both Young and Old!)

This blog is all about activities and outings with friends in the past month!  Obviously I don't take pictures of every outing, but I do take pictures of many of them!  Enjoy :)

 

Ben and I had a rare night out (sans kids) for a friend's wedding reception a few weeks ago.  Of course the kiddos wanted to get in the picture with us!

 

Girl Time!

Our close friends Chuck and Andi moved to the Seattle area right before Christmas last year.  Chuck came back for the wedding (Andi had to stay home since they have a 3 kiddos with the youngest being only 7 months old!).  

 

The beautiful couple with some of the guys!

 

My friend Katie is having her first baby and is due very soon.  I attended her baby shower a couple weeks ago.  It was a beautiful shower and I can't wait to meet the babe!

 

 

 Our friends Ryan and Steph invited us over to hang out at their house (and pool!) a couple weeks ago.  They have a son Tyler's age and a newborn.  We had a blast hanging out at their house and I REALLY enjoyed the fruits of Steph's espresso machine ;-)  I must say... Espresso mixed with Chocolate Almond Milk is VERY tasty!

 

Chelsea on a diving board for the first time!

 

Daddy and Daughter!

 

Splash!  Chelsea is fearless and loved jumping off the diving board!

 

Tyler preferred to play in the playhouse! 

 

Tyler fell in love with this Dusty riding toy and played with it A LOT.  Believe it or not, it's tough to find now but I tracked one down and am going to assemble it this weekend for him.

 

Steph, Tyler and Josh

At the Champlin splash pad with friends!  Lunch time :-)

 

My friend Nikki brought her kiddos over for a playdate in our backyard!  

 

You have to wonder what they are discussing in that circle?!

 

Tyler and mama!

 

We went to the Wayzata Beach with a couple friends last week.  So fun!

 

My little Diva!

 

Tyler playing next to his friend Sully.  This is a big deal.. Tyler doesn't really play with other kiddos.  Only his sister.  He prefers to do his own thing.

 

Chelsea swimming out to the dock all on her own!

 

Yum Yum time!
