Happy Labor Day!

Hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend (if you are fortunate enough to get one, that is). We have had a very quiet and laid back weekend so far. Wil fell at work on Friday and cracked some ribs and sprained his knee, so he and I spent most of Friday at the ER. We're just taking it easy and I'm getting some stuff done around the house (in between taking care of all the boys).
Alex has spent a lot of time playing around the house and outside. It's been pretty hot, so we got the sprinkler out yesterday and he loved that. I'm hoping that tomorrow Wil will be feeling well enough to go somewhere for a little while. It's been a little dull just hanging around here. We'll see.

Summer is wrapping up

It's fair time and you know that means that the end of summer is near. I'm very much looking forward to fall weather!
Wil and I went to the fair last night to see Buddy Guy/Johnny Lang at the Grandstand. Alex got a sleepover with grandma and papa. We went late, quickly stuffed ourselves with some fair food and then met up with Uncle Bob, Rico, Angela, Samantha, Jason, and Dave for the show. Big Head Todd and the Monsters opened and they were good. I like their music. Buddy Guy was awesome! He put on a good show and was a lot of fun. Johnny Lang was okay. He didn't play any of his old stuff (that I really liked) and just went on too long. I really think he only played like 4 songs, just super extended versions that went on forever. It was a great night though and we had a good time!
Wil, Alex, Clifford and I went for a Jeep drive on Saturday. We intended to do some geocaching but didn't have much luck. But, it was a great drive anyway and an all around great weekend!

Fast weekend

The weekend went by way too fast! We spent yesterday afternoon and evening at the Dakota County Fair. It was a great time! We went through the animal barns and some of the other buildings, ate some fair food, watched the Native Pride Dancers (and Alex even got to dance with them), and went on some rides and played games. Alex's favorite thing was the blow up climbing wall/slide and the ferris wheel. I really enjoyed myself. It was not so overly crowded or big that you couldn't see and do everything. I could skip the State Fair every year and do this instead. This county fair was reasonably priced ($11 to get in AND park as opposed to spending nearly $30 to just get into the State Fair). It was a beautiful day. Alex went and went until about 10pm and then crashed for the night.
We spent most of today just hanging out and then went to my great aunt Edna's 90th birthday party for a little bit.
So, we had a really good weekend and looking forward to the next!

How did it get to be August already?

The summer is just flying by! Nothing too exciting going on with us. Alex got his full size big boy bed this week and loves it. It's weird seeing him sleep in something other than his crib/toddler bed, but we couldn't keep him in it forever! We've been enjoying a lot of time outside and the weather has been great. We're going to take a little road trip today and do some geocaching, in Wisconsin I think. It will be a great day to put the top down on the Jeep and just cruise.
