Wonderful Weekend with Friends!

       We just had a wonderful weekend in Minneapolis with our friends the Wiggins celebrating Amelia's Birthday! The weather was PERFECT! Think a crisp 58/60 when you get up and a sunny 70's during the day! It felt like football season, which is almost here!! BOOMER SOONER! It was so great to have our friends here! We stayed up late, ate bad food, drank beer, watched movies & of course we went to Rock Bottom! It was perfect! Just wish it had lasted longer! We explored new restaurants (Rusty Taco is amazing), rode a mechanical bull (much harder than it looks), went to the mall of america (every time I go there I feel like it gets bigger & bigger), ate on a rooftop in downtown Minneapolis, and celebrated with cake & ice cream!! Perfect weekend! Until next time in September when we venture to Chicago!

Happy Birthday to YOU!

LOVE the Wiggin's Family!

Kirkland's on the rooftop

All the girls! (Yes Ella is trying to drink early- just kidding)

The whole crew on the rooftop!! 

         Ella continues to grow and learn new "tricks" everyday!  She has mastered the front to back to front and back again, as well as pushing & pulling herself in the direction of her toys.  I often find her in a completely different spot than where I left her with a huge grin on her face! (Or a toy in her mouth)  She loves to blow raspberries now which is cute until she has food in her mouth (and then consequently all over me)! And she can now sit on her own for a while! Such a big girl she is! We joined a "Mommy's group" last week and have made several new friends as a result! We plan to join the aquarium and the zoo, as well as continue to attend playgroups!

Who put me in a box?

Seriously people- enough with the box! (Although I love it)

Auntie Grace made me a new headband!

Mommy LOVES me!! 

        Jon continues to learn new procedures at the hospital and recently received his own personal lead outfit & lead glasses!! Such a OU fan too- they are all red & the lead shirt has a football on it!! BOOMER SOONER from Interventional Radiology! He is already teaching Ella the OU songs, buying her multiple OU onesies, and teaching her all about the game of football!  He even replaced her crib mobile with an OU one that pals Boomer Sooner & has little OU bears on it! So I'm pretty sure Ella will be an OU fan!

Daddy's OU girl! 

Crimson & Cream are my colors!! Go OU!

BOOMER SOONER-   Love:  The Kirklands!
