all kinds of stuff...

It has been a busy few weeks with lots of fun stuff going on. Isabelle and I visited the Tutti Frutti frozen yogurt shop in Maple Grove. Isabelle really enjoyed her ice cream...all of it.


Our garden and fruit trees are really starting to produce the fruits and veggies. The plum tree and two the apple trees have already been harvested and we canned the plums and froze the apple slices. We also made 12 jars of pickles from our garden cucumbers and frozen several bags of green beans. In a week or two we will have the 2 pear trees and one more apple tree ready to pick...then the canning will really get started!

 

Isabelle has a pair of glasses frames with no lenses in them. She likes to put them on and sit in the "library" and read. She calls it "playing school". Its pretty adorable.


Last week Isabelle and I spent the night at our friends house and Isabelle and her friend Emerson got to jam out in their PJ's while the Dad's took in a Vikings preseason game.


We attended a company picnic at the splash pad in Otsego. It was a little chilly outside but Isabelle was not detered. She had a blast running around getting her tushy wet.


Last weekend we went to the cabin with our friends the Ohme's. we had a good time fishing, making smores and hanging out at the lake. The girls did a great job in the boat and we were able to catch some bass, a northern, lots of sunfish and one little walleye.

  





Isabelle even got to go fishing with Papa on Sunday afternoon.

cousins everywhere!

Isabelle got to spend the last two weekends with her cousins at the cabin. Needless to say she had a really fun time with all of them. Will and Keegan came up last weekend and we were able to get out in the boat with the boys a couple times and managed to catch sunfish, largemouth and smallmouth bass and a bunch of perch.




Isabelle had another exciting weekend with Kaylee and Blayne...corn on the cob, Todd County Fair, fishing and s'mores...what else could a 4 year old want?
