Twins Game! July 19, 2010

Twins game! having fun with Aunt Jenna and Uncle Aaron! Thanks for taking these pictures Jenna! I brought my camera, pulled it out to take a photo, and the SD card was still at home in our computer!

We went to the Twins game on Monday night. It was a beautiful evening- perfect for outdoor baseball. This was Gus' 3rd Twins game- first one in Florida during spring training, one in May with Sonja and Chad, and then tonight with Aaron and Jenna. I enjoy watching the game, but I like to chat with people during it- or if we are home listening to one on the radio I like to knit or something else. So over the weekend there was a game on that Brent was listening to, and it was over in just over 2 hours... well I said to Brent that I would sure like to go to a game that lasts only 2 hours! Well, this game that did not happen- it was over after 11:00~ we left at the bottom of the 8th. Gus was a trooper- playing with all of us- and enjoying watching everything. But, as soon as he hit the car seat, he was sound asleep! And, luckily this time he was able to be transfered to his crib well.


happy gus!

Gus is 11 months old!

WHAT!!! one more month until he is one year old! CRAZY!

Lately Gus has been cracking us up with funny laughs and faces, this is one of them.

He giggles, and scrunches up his nose- so funny

He kinda looks mad, but really he is giggling through that funny face!

fun at the cabin- July

Gus is loving to walk around- he will take a few steps here and there- but mostly loves to hold onto something, or someone. It was a beautiful day last weekend up at the cabin, but really windy off the lake, so I pulled out this little hat for Gus= Brent called it his helmet. :)

We even had his sweater on, in the shade of the tree with the wind, it was chilly for him!

Gus is giving Daddy kisses

Happy boy!

crafty projects summertime...more to come I hope

I love to make things- either by sewing, knitting, baking- whatever- but with the little guy now standing at my legs, pulling on my clothes and saying "mammammama" I just don't get much done. Hopefully he will fall into a more long (one a day)/regular napping pattern so I can make more fun little projects.

Button Bracelet

I have been enjoying making these this past year. They are so fun to make- just sew on buttons to elastic- and there you have it- a new bracelet.

Taggie
This is a little blanket for a little one, with different textured ribbons to touch, and play with.

Baby blanket

This I knit for my very crafty and creative friend Susan, or more appropriatly her son Jackson. It is done in a basketweave pattern (the first pattern I learned almost 7 years ago on our honeymoon!)

Alternating between knit stitch and seed stitch.

4th of July 2010

Independence Day!

Mark's dogs were enjoying the lake, and Gus too!

We were at the cabin for the 4th- so fun to be all together with mom and dad and Mark's family.

It is always great that the firworks show is put off at Arrowwood across the road- it is great to be able to walk over and avoid all the traffic that comes with it.
