More Cabin Fun!

Harrison capped out his summer cabin tour with a trip to the Lichty cabin!  H enjoyed a lot of fun water activities!

 He also enjoyed nightly fires (and marshmallows) with Auntie Suzanne and Grandma!

Harrison got home from the cabin in time for his soccer practice.  He loved it!  

 Miss Quinn wanted to get out on the field with her brother!

 Last Sunday we celebrated Grandma & Grandpa Lichty's 45th wedding anniversary!

Uncle David was in town from Texan all week to enjoy the festivities!  He brought the kids gifts from all his travels!

News Worthy Events

We had a rainy Saturday morning a few weeks ago and Harrison and I took his first trip to a movie theater to see Ice Age 3 (or maybe it was 4, not sure since I haven't seen the first ones!)  We went with his buddy Jack and his mom.  The boys did great and Harrison can't wait to see his next flix!

 We had a beautiful night to celebrate National Night Out!  Our neighbor Leah is a newscaster and her station did a live shot at our gathering!  The kids were SOOOOO excited!

 Harrison never misses a chance to go on a fire truck...especially when it visits the neighborhood!

 We headed up to the Hanson's cabin for some R&R this weekend.  A relaxing weekend for all!

 I think Harrison and Maggie spent about 10 hour outside!

 Best buds!

On the 2 hour drive home, we witnessed one of the sweetest big brother moments.  I so wish I could have recorded it.  We were still a half hour from home when Quinn started crying.  I said to Harrison "H, make Quinn laugh."  He started singing "Rock a bye baby, don't you cry, mommy's going to buy you a mocking bird.   If the mocking bird don't shine, you'll rock a bye".  (He did his one little mash up of lullabies!)  AMAZINGLY...Quinn stopped crying!

 

Speaking of Miss Quinn...she is a girl on the move!   She is into everything and insists on feeding herself.  I think we are going to have our hands full with this one!

Olympic Weekend!

Harrison has a fun day out with Grandma Ann which included a visit with "TC Bear".

Friday night, Harrison helped Jack McCambridge celebrate his 4th birthday at the Hopkins Fire Department!  A dream for 4 year olds!!!

Everyone got to take a ride or two on the fire truck!

 

Nora helped Quinn get in the celebrating mood!

Sunday the Lichty Family headed down to the Stone Arch bridge for a little walk and biking.  Of course we couldn't pass up the ice cream truck!

Our family has been pretty into the Olympics.  Harrison gets excited to watch all the different sports and then we find all the countries on the map.  Quinn is paying her tribute to the Olympics by eating "Cheerios"!  (Although with her teeth...she could eat a steak!)

Some Catch-up Pics

I finally downloaded some pics from Grandma Ann's camera.  I am still bummed we didn't get many pictures from Laura and Alex's wedding.

Harrison was quick to find the table filled with candy!

 No candy for Miss Quinn...she had to settle for cheerios!

I stole a couple other picture off Grandma Ann's camera.

 

Hmmm...someone having a root beer float at Grandma's house.  He'll learn not allow photographs of behavior that mommy might not approve.  :)

 Best buds!

Wedding Preview

We had a busy weekend attending cousin Laura Lichty's wedding to Alex Murray n Sioux Falls, South Dakota.  Fun times with the cousins!  The kids did great the way down there and day of the wedding.  The drive home...not so much.  We actually forgot our camera so I need to wait for Grandma Lichty to get home to get some pics off of her camera.  Here is a little sneak peak at the kiddos.  I am bummed we didn't get a good picture of both kids together because they both looked adorable so a blurry one will have to do! A bonus of the weekend is that the kids added two more states to their lists...South Dakota and Iowa!

How old are you??? 4!!!

Our boy is 4 years old!  He was soooooo excited for his birthday!  He got to pick whatever he wanted for breakfast.  After careful thought and consideration he finally decided on pancakes!

He was about to burst and couldn't wait one more minute to open a present.  What a way to start the day!  A "Batman Castle"!

 Party time!  Can't beat a bounce house in your backyard with a few of your close friends.

 

Everyone got a swing at the Pirate pinata!

 Finally...someone got it open!  Candy time!!!

Just in case they didn't get enough sugar!  Cake time!

 Make a wish!

 Quinn, of course doesn't miss a party!

 The little kids finally got their turn in the bounce house!

Happiest of days Harrison!  A little flash back to 2008....
