Green Lake Weekend

Wednesday, July 22:
Boston and Bronx had check up's with Dr. McKercher!  Boston weighed in at 60 lbs, 10 oz and is 4 feet 3 1/8 inch. tall.  After he got measured and weighed he asked Derek and I 'What does that mean?'.  Derek replied 'It means your still a point guard!'.  Bronx checked out great too. He weighs 23 pounds with his clothes & shoes on.  Both boys are in the lower percentile's for height and weight, but that's the norm for the Gerd boys!  Healthy kids is such a blessing!




Thursday, August 23:
Derek and I headed to Green Lake in Spicer, MN for our weekend away with friends! The boys stayed with Grandpa Ron a few hours and then Auntie Lacey came to the rescue. 
The kids had a lot of fun on the farm, and Derek and I really enjoyed a few days away!

Brigham is such a wild sleeper.  We never know how we will find him in his bed!
 Our first night at the lake!  So peaceful!
 Pontoon Ride


Friday, July 24:  Another gorgeous day!

 Face Time with the boys!  Awe!






Saturday, July 25: 
A cloudy day & some sprinkles, but we still made it to Cougar Bay for the afternoon!







Sunday, July 26
We are home & back to our normal!  
Grandma Peggy survived with the boys Friday & Saturday night!
Wednesday, July 29
We did some school shopping!  Brigham was SO excited to get new shoes for school.  He has been wearing 1 pair of tennis shoes for a year now and he has worn holes in the toes!  Unfortunately, he came up empty handed. He wanted a pair of Jordan's so bad, but he just couldn't find any he liked...and if he did like a pair, they didn't have his size!  Poor kid left the mall bawling.
 Boston treated us all to a $1 waffle cone!





Thursday, July 30
Bronx got bonked in the mouth & got a pretty big fat lip.
 Such a big boy now.  He loves to swing!
 The boys are so lucky to have 'play dates' all summer long with their daycare friends!
We are anxious for a long weekend with our cousins/friends from California!

Gerdes/Mesman Weekend!

Les celebrated his 70th Birthday in late June, so Glady planned a family get together for him!  They rented a few cabins at Broom Tree resort, near Irene, SD.  It was a really neat place!  Derek had to work Friday & most of Saturday, so we just drove to Irene Saturday afternoon, came back for the night, and drove to Irene again for Sunday breakfast & fellowship!  It was nice to catch up with Les' kids.  It's such a blessing we all have such a fun time together!

The kids eating supper on Saturday, July 18.



 Group pictures.  The whole crew is here!


Lance & Michelle did a little skit imitating Glady & Les and Glenn put together a trivia game about Les!


 Glady had a few of her friends make a quilt for Les out of his Cadets tshirts & badges!  
It was so neat!






After they discovered there was wi-fi at the campground!  :)
We picked up Tim & Chels' dog in Sioux Falls on Sunday morning & brought him to Broom Tree so they could head straight for home & not have to back track.  The kids loved having a 'big dog' around!
 Playing at the park before breakfast!




  After breakfast on Sunday morning, we put on a family church service.  The kids sang a few songs, G sang a solo, and Tim gave a message.  It was really fun!


 Brigham loves the song Our God Is Powerful from VBS!
