Minnesota
Jackson and Erik took a father/son trip to Minneapolis this week to visit Grandma. Jackson got to do so many fun things, and it was all about him! He went to the Mall of America and rode lots of rides, did a lot of fishing, went out for ice cream, helped with Grandma's yard work, went on a boat ride, went to a baseball game, and went golfing with Dad. Here are some of the highlights:

A Visit from Melissa and Christian
While Erik and Jackson were in Minnesota, Melissa and Christian came to keep Kate and me company! We had so much fun and the kids really enjoyed playing together. We kept them busy with splash pads, story time, gymnastics, frozen yogurt, Tumble Tots (for a little while anyway), Chick-fil-A, Catch Air, and a pizza dinner! Here are some pictures of our fun week.

 |
| Trying to leave, but Kate was running from me so she wouldn't have to get in her car seat. While she was at it, she gave Christian a hug to show off how sweet she can be! |

When I Dip, You Dip, We Dip
Kate loves dancing to this song that's on a TV commercial (a kid-friendly version of a song I used to dance to)!

Toddler Bed
 |
| Kate fell asleep standing up! |
Because Kate recently learned how to climb out of her crib, we decided to go ahead and convert it to a toddler bed. We really weren't ready to convert it this early (Jackson slept a whole year more in the crib), but we decided it might be best. Since she was climbing out anyway, we figured at least this way she might actually get back in! Well, here she is half-way back in....that's a start, right?
