Memorial Day Weekend










An attempt to get a family photo-nope not happening











We went up to Bemidji for the long weekend.  Justin's Grandparents were there so it was fun for them to spend some time with Reagan.  Reagan finally warmed up to Great Grandpa as every time she would come near, he would give her candy and surprised her once with a dollar!!  So cute!!  We enjoyed a perfect sunny day on the pontoon and then had dinner with the Strobles.  After dinner--Grandma and Grandpa were on baby-sitting duty and the cousins took out the pontoon again-we can't get enough--as this is my favorite place to be in the summer!!

Hammerback Gathering

It has been too long...

A whole lot of stripes-our favorite, The Red Stripe

Way to coordinate the couple outfit with your drinks for the evening,
Kelly and Ryan!! Love it!!


Mark helping Reagan with the frosting-Yum!!


We have been meaning to have people over forever and we finally made it work.  Hoping for nice weather and a patio party didn't happen, but fun was still had, of course!!!  We enjoyed Uff-da tacos and Kara brought birthday cake.  Unfortunately, these are the only photos I got of the evening--guess I was too busy playing hostess.  Let's do it again soon!

Go Twinkies!!






My teammate in 4th grade invited the team out to a ballgame for an end of the year celebration.  Unfortunately, Rach couldn't make it, so Maryrose was kind enough to let The #1 Twins Fan, Justin, tag along with the girls!!  Thanks for the great time Maryrose!!

Phillip's Baptism

We were honored to be Phillip's Godparents and can't wait to watch him grow and pray for him along the way!!  Bless you Phillip!!  We will never forget how smiley you were when the pastor paraded you down front so everyone could see you...We were treated to a fabulous brunch at the Wild's after church. 

Grandpa Dave took Reagan down to hear Children's Sermon and to see the Baby Lambs.

Best behavior while sitting in church with Grandma---the Goldfish helped!!











Hugs to Cousin Paige when they had to leave...so sweet!!
We didn't end up having a great end to the weekend...of family down for Reagan's birthday and Phil's baptism...see picture. However, Reagan's party was a blast and the baptism was so neat!! It just ended with a bump...
My mom fell outside of The Wild's after our baptism brunch and we ended up in ER with her. Having the huge heart that she does she let Paige wear her coat to the car because it was cold and then she went out to grab it once Paige was in the car and that is when she fell...:( She missed the curb and hit her face, knee, and wrist. But as you can see her face took the brunt of it. They did a CAT scan and no broken bones in the face just a lot of swelling and bruising. She was on vicadin and icing it constantly.
She stayed at our house that night and Dad drove her back to her house the next morning and stopped at work to pick up a few items as she worked at home last week. It still looked bad the next morning but better-a little less swollen. She was icing it all that day and throughout the night and taking vicadin. Her knee is better and wrist is better.

Reagan gave her lots of love and kept saying, "grandma hurt" and sitting with her while she was icing her face.  I took away her pink high heels and gave her a pair of cute flats that she will wear instead of those!!  :

Dad stayed all week and was Driving Miss Daisy, to the dentist for the chipped teeth etc...
I told her this is a sign that she needs to slow down...she mentioned that this happened to be one of the busiest weeks at work as well. We all felt so bad that this happened and were all so concerned about her but are all so thankful that it wasn't worse!! But as you can see from the picture...she is the same ol' Kathy with a big heart and positive attitude---still smiling!!

We invited the entire world to Reagan's first birthday last year, and this year we decided to keep it to just family.  It was fun because Reagan's entire family came--all her aunts and uncles, cousins, and grandpas and grandmas!!  She opened many nice gifts including outfits, books, a bubble mower, a sandbox, sand toys, basketball hoop, DVDs, a Dora blow up bed, and a fishing pole!!  She is a very lucky girl and of course so loved!!
