Luke left for his spring fishing trip on Friday and the kids and I had a jam packed weekend planned! We started the weekend off by hosting an improtu little neighborhood get together on Friday night. The Kahlert's and Mariann and Margarita brought their pizzas over and the kids played next door! Everyone had a great time!!
Saturday morning my parents stopped by before t-ball.....we celebrated my dad's birthday (it was Friday) by giving him his gift and then we went to Bishop's t-ball game. My dad played catch with Bishop during warm ups while us girls helped cheer him on!

| Cal's dad-the first base coach! |

| Looks like he's giving Bishop some good coaching advice! |
We had to leave t-ball a little early to get to Henry Krueger's birthday party! Nora went with my parents to the Bormann's house....I dropped Bishop off at the party, drove to the Bormann's for lunch and then picked Bishop up to bring him to his 2nd bday party of the day! While at lunch we celebrated my dad's birthday with cake, which was a big hit with the kids! It was a quick stop at their house, but always so fun to see them and Nora was in heaven playing with Madelyn!! Krueger's party was at The Big Thrill Factory, which Bishop LOVED!!! He had Greta's party in the afternoon at Woodlake Nature Center, which was a big hit as well! While Bishop was at Greta's party I told Nora she could choose what we do (play at a park, icecream, garage sale, etc).....she picked going to a garage sale....so we did and she got a new kitchen! :) She loves her new kitchen and is able to make us smoothies with it!

| Krueger and Bishop--such special friends! |

| She is so excited about her new kitchen!! |
When Nora and I picked Bishop up from Greta's birthday party we hiked around a bit at the nature center. It was really neat--we saw a big turtle on the side of the path, ducks and other wildlife! We went home, had dinner and crashed! It was a beautiful day--filled with fun and friends!
Sunday brought the kids' last day of Sunday school for the year. They were both excited to go as they each had fun things planned in their classes. After church we went to the Linden Hills Festival at Linden Hills Park, which was a ton of fun. It's pretty chaotic and busy and can get a little stressful on my own, but the kids were so great and I allowed Bishop to play a few games by himself while Nora and I waited in line to get her face painted! It was well worth it, as she LOVED her face paint (especially the lipstick)! ;)

After the festival we drove down to Owatonna to celebrate Papa's birthday one more time! We had that planned before we knew they were coming up for t-ball and lunch at the Bormann's. The kids played so well together outside and then we walked down to the park/river to feed the ducks and play. It was such a lovely day, it just felt great to be outside!
While we missed Luke we had a great weekend filled with friends and family! Luke ran his first trail run on Saturday on the Lake Superior Hiking Trail. He ran a 25K and LOVED it (and did awesome)!
