Today Damon and Dusty went to watch the PGA Championship practices at Hazeltine, courtesy of Mary! They were both very glad they went and thought it was a GREAT experience. I wonder if that had anything to do with being able to buy a beer at 9:30 am - kidding! Here are some pictures Damon took. Go Tiger! I am also rooting for Phil this time.

Handsome little Mikko at 3 months

Time flies. 3 months already? What a wonderful boy he has become. His smile is priceless. He is sleeping through the night almost all the time...up to 10 hours! Still loves his swing and being swaddled and likes to be held. I think his quick growth has slowed down a bit. Our life with 2 children is beginning to feel "normal". Mikko does very well at daycare too!

Mommy: "David, what are you doing?", as he was playing with the computer mouse.

David: "I'm checking my e-mail."

hmmmmmmmmm

Camping Sakatah Lake

Counting the steps. One, Two, Six....

Mikko was a happy camper!

Jimmy and Foxy were on full alert. There was a small yippy dog barking in the campground that they didn't like.

Sakatah Lake

Going for a walk.

We camped at Sakatah Lake State Park, just west of Faribault. We intended to camp 2 nights, but the heat overcame us. Friday night it rained almost all night long, but we stayed dry. Mikko and David didn't wake up at all, even in the thunder and lightening. Mom sure didn't sleep though. We woke up to a lovely morning, however the campsite was soaking wet so David got VERY dirty. I gave up trying to keep him clean. We drank coffee (and hot chocolate for David) by the campfire and had a YUMMY breakfast of sausage and eggs that Damon made. We trekked to the lake and drove to Waterville for lunch. We hung out a few hours at the campsite but decided we didn't want to sweat all day just to have another night of rain. We packed up and headed home. Despite our short trip, it was a fun family adventure!

The music knocked Mikko out!

Damon played with Ross William Perry at the Normandale Lake Band Shell Blues and BBQ. It was a lovely evening with a very big crowd. David loved watching Damon play and danced around and sucked off the Oreo filling from the cookies Papa brought. Mikko did great!

Damon, Bobby and Greta

We spend a great weekend on the North Shore in Tofte. We explored the shore, visited Lutsen, played lots of games, ate great food and spent a fun weekend together.

A morning at Como Zoo

We braved the chilly July morning and headed to Como Zoo. I'd love to say that David was crazy about the animals at the zoo, but I think he had more fun climbing on all the benches. We ate a picnic lunch and enjoyed a family day before I head back to work on Monday : (

4 Cousins

Mikko, David, Leah, Sophia

Grandma Mary and Grandpa Dave just got back from their trip to Vegas. Mary bought all the kids Beatles Tshirts at the Cirque Du Soleil show, Love. Here they all are posing in their t-shirts. Hilarious!

Mikko is 2 months old

Mikko is now 2 months old. He entered his 2nd month like a lion, and has ended it like a lamb, as they say. We're pretty sure his colic has ended...I wouldn't wish a colicky baby on my worst enemy. He is starting to smile a lot and has the most beautiful big blue eyes. Last night he slept 9 1/2 hours, hopefully that is a sign of things to come also! He weighs 11 lb 13 oz and is 22 1/2 inches long. 47th percentile for weight. He is such a little sweetie.

Fun with Uncles

We all sure thought this was an adorable picture of Uncle Dusty and Mikko, until we realized.......
Mikko was spitting up all over him!!!
Mandy had to wash his shirt since he was heading out to a bar with friends afterwards.

Cool Dudes playing guitars. David and Uncle Corey jamming out.
