Fall Fun

We had a great weekend... thanks to Auntie Allie, Uncle Matty, Cally (sorry, not auntie yet), Auntie Rena & Clara!! We are missin' Chris... so it was REALLY NICE to have visitors!!

Kyler and I walked to the park for an evening swing after everyone left :-)

Kyler is lovin animals lately! His best bud is Siddy Kitty (and she actually seems pretty fond of him, too!) And he is very interested in dogs, squirrels & birds.

This isn't the best pic of grandma & grandpa Nelson, but at least they're all sportin' Twins gear! Go TC!!

just hangin out!

Kyler and I have been having a lot of fun together lately!! We love hangin at our new home.. and sometimes we even find time to run errands, clean, cook, etc.

The two of us are anticipating an upcoming trip to California & Hawaii (in TWO WEEKS!!), so we need to hang with dad as much as possible!! The combination of our trip and his long weekend in Denver w/ the boys will mean we won't see him for 15 days in a row! not looking forward to that!!

Twins Win!

Kyler went to his 2nd game at Target Field on Monday (he also went to the opener). He enjoyed this one much more than his first! He especially loved all the snacking and people watching...

Uncle Grahamm can't get enough of his favorite buddy :-)

But I can get enough of Chris's weird shirt. Bring on the cold so this thing can be retired into the fugly hall of fame!

Our New Place

We are finally feeling settled in our new place and WE LOVE IT!! The neighborhood is so great! Kyler and I took a walk today to return a movie and he agreed that it's a little gem of a spot we're in. We've only met a couple of neighbors but we're thinking if we have a little bbq soon (before the weather gets too cold), maybe we'll invite them to stop over..

We've been having a great time in this cozy, sunny space! Soon we will be tackling the outside.. I've already started pulling some weeds but there are a lot to go! Cleaning the windows & freshening up the green space will do wonders, I'm sure :-) Home sweet home (for now, at least).

Burntside in Ely

Man, it has been a B-U-S-Y few weeks! Chris, Kyler and I are finally enjoying some time with just us!

The Serpa's (family I nannied for) are now officially relocated.. We moved to a great new house.. and we went to Ely for a long weekend on the water... and that was ALL LAST WEEK!

**********************

Kyler is up and moving! He loves being mobile and the slow crawl is SO adorable!!

He also really loved his "own little burntside." He went in the water in his fish floatie a couple of times but the water was chilly and he was able to be more independent in his own little pool/bucket.. something he is getting more interested in lately.






Chris & Uncle Grahamm were able to fit in some play time between baseball, beer, sauna, swims & bacon :-)





Seeing a bonfire for the first time brought a big smile to Kai's face..

As did finding this special stick.

We went to dinner at Burntside Lodge one night and Kyler looked so handsome ;-) He entertained himself very nicely while we enjoyed a fabulous dinner!

Thanks to Kevin & Diana for such a great time!! It's always fun hangin out with those two wild ones ;-) Getting away from the city felt GREAT ~ can't wait for the fourth annual.
