Our Trip to Minnesota

May 27, 2014 /

Well, we are home! We had a great few days up north and we got to see {almost} everyone we love up there. It was a great weekend of sun, laughter, grilling, and catching up with family. I shared our drive up on Friday morning in photos and today I will share the rest of the trip in photos.

On Friday morning we woke up early(ish) and went shopping. There were a ton of great Memorial Day deals so we came home with lots of fun things and spent very little. That’s my favorite type of shopping. Then on Friday night we went out to a fun Mexican dinner with our cousins Dan and Michelle which was followed by a night sitting by the fire and watching the pups play. It should be noted that they have a St. Bernard and a puppy Newfoundland. They are great big dogs and Alfie loves playing with them.

On Saturday morning we headed even further up north to Mike’s aunts’ cabin. It was a day at the lake! Mike got to fish and jetski and I got to lay on the beach and hold babies all day. It was the perfect day.

Two of Mike’s cousins have had littles in the last year and it was bound to be time for me to hold each of them. They’re both just the sweetest and I already miss them. Mike also had a blast tubing in the freezing cold water.

On Sunday we visited both sets of Mike’s grandparents. One set lives in Minnesota and the other lives in Wisconsin but they were coincidentally camping just 20 minutes north of where we were staying. We had lunch with Grandma and Grandpa Pierce and Dinner with Grandma and Grandpa Jaderston. Mike also got to fish in the evening before dinner. He was in Minnesota heaven.

And that’s all folks! We drove home on Monday and made it in record time – thank the Lord. Being in the car for that long is exhausting. This week we are just getting back into the groove and keeping up with work.

Happy Tuesday! I hope you had a great {and safe} weekend.

Love, The Jaderstons

Minnesota is beautiful and Mike is in homeland heaven.

Today I think we are gonna go on some adventures around the twin cities, tomorrow we will make a small trip to the lake up north to see more family, and we will have a lot of puppy play time with our cousins’ St. Bernard (Randy) and Newfoundland (Tank).

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

Keeping up with Summer

May 21, 2014 /

It’s summer here! It’s not actually the season of summer, although the 100 degree temps would make you believe it is. School is getting out – Mike’s last youth group before summer was last week and the obvious, he graduated from college and that means summer!

We are soaking it up – staying busy – and trying to find balance.

Tomorrow we are headed on a little vacay to see some family. I’m so excited to get away and get some decompression time with Mike. I think we’ll call it #jadersota or #alfiesbigadventure since the pup is coming along to the great white northern state of Minnesota! It’ll be a little cooler up north so it’ll be nice to get a break from this pre-summer heat.

Now for some photos… We’ve been enjoying our walks outside and post walk snacks.

I should probably mention at this point that our neighborhood is amazing. Both of those walking trails are a block from our home. It feels a little bit like a dream every time we venture over to the trails.

This last week has been a whirlwind with graduation, busy work schedules, and buying a car! Another reason why decompressing is much needed. Buying a car is stressful… but in this case it was actually pretty wrinkle free so yay for that! I’ve only snapped one photo of the car and unfortunately it was while driving – so not a great photo.

Graduation was exhausting. Mike took a mini nap during his graduation party and I snapped that photo above. It makes me laugh out loud every time I see it. And I couldn’t help but share those photos of Alf – he got his haircut last week and he looks cuter than ever.

Happy Wednesday and Memorial Day weekend!
