Happy Birthday Nana from Grandview Lodge

Last week both Luke and I had to be in Brainerd for work, so my parents joined us to watch the kids during the day. It worked out wonderfully and we all had a blast!! Luke and I were even able to get away for dinner on Tuesday night...so that was fun! Thanks so much, mom and dad! The weather wasn't perfect, but we still had a great time!

It was my mom's birthday on Wednesday, so we were able to celebrate together that day! We stopped at Shelly and Ryan's to have dinner with them on our way home, which worked out wonderfully!!

There was an indoor pool/water slide, which was a ton of fun. Bishop needed to ride with Luke or I, so we all had a great time! It was a fast slide and the first time down I was wondering if it was such a good idea....but by the time we hit the water, we were all smiles! :)

Happy Birthday, mom!! You deserve nothing but the best! We appreciate all you do and it was so fun being away with you and dad for a couple days! Thanks for being you--you have taught me so much about being a mother, daughter and friend....there are so many people who are better off because you are in their lives--I'm so thankful to be one of those people! I love you as big as the sky!!
