Jacoby's Birthday Party!

We had the pleasure of heading to Western Minnesota for little Jacoby's 1st birthday party. Maggie has only met Jacoby a few times, but you would think he is her best friend. She sings about him. She is always asking us, "Where's Jacoby!?"


We headed out to Morris a few days early so Maggie could get some family time in. She and Jacoby got to play a little.


Jacoby loves his sandbox!







At the party, Maggie had fun playing with the big girls and the cool toys that Aunt Cari has!


Cousin time in the sandbox!


And Grandma Becky!


I don't think cousin Rayna liked that Maggie was sitting in her chair.





Maggie with Great Grandpa!













This will be great blackmail some day!





Maggie loved the slip and slide and her cousins really helped her get the full effect!





Mostly she dominated the slip and slide by splashing around on it and jumping into the reservoir at the end. You can see, she had quite the audience and enjoyed putting on a show.


Jacoby and Maggie having a heart to heart!









And putting on makeup with the older girls.


Someone threw the ball into the sewer and so the brothers decided to dangle Hunter down to get it! Good times!!

Our New House!

Raising a toddler has kept us very busy, so adding to our blog has taken a back seat. We thought we would jump right back in by sharing our new home.

Home sweet home on the day of closing!

Maggie's maple tree!

Power-washing the deck. Hard to believe there was beautiful cedar under all the dirt.

The first fire in the pit Travis and I made with rocks from around our home. Turned out well and I am sure we will enjoy it for years.
