Lindson and his bike trailer

The family went for a bike ride two nights ago and when we came back I didn't put the trailer away. The next day Lindson spent about an hour "fixing" the trailer and when he was bored with that he wanted me to take him for a ride. Instead I hooked his bike up to the trailer so he could pull it around. He was super excited about it and I thought it was hilarious. He was cruising around the yard and around the house and kept asking for me to sit in the trailer....I declined, but I did put Sierra in it and Lindson thought she was "big" so maybe that is a little too much weight for the little man. 

Funny face he's been doing a lot lately

Father's Day, Fairies, and Frogs...

For Father's Day we decided to have a relaxing day just spending time together.  Near our farm there is a great park, Donald Park, that was having a picnic including music, fairies, hot dogs, rootbeer floats, horses, and so much more.  We (meaning Adam) even had the chance to build our very own fairy house!  The kids had fun watching all the people and Lindson was very excited to see all sorts of creatures (in addition to the fairies), including frogs, horses, and a baby bird.  It was great to be outside with our community of neighbors enjoying nature together.  The funniest part of the whole day was Lindson's face when he saw the fairies peeking around the trees...he would hide his face and give them a little smile.  Too funny!  Enjoy the pictures!

The "Fairy Swing"...Lindson just had to try it out!

Sierra being cute as usual...

Laughing at daddy...

Sierra being a big girl driving the car...she was not happy to have to eventually get out!

Swinging...and laughing.

One of the fairy houses...Lindson loved to look at these!

Plotting to drive away in the car!

Random quote of the day

Adam to Lindson when he woke up in the morning-"Lindson, how was your sleep?"

Lindson- "BIG!"

Catching up...

Well, wow we have not been doing good with the posting that is for sure! Life is busy but good. Adam has been trying to get some pictures of the kids but has only had success getting a few of Sierra here and there. Lindson is apparently too fast! Adam is at home now with the kids and working on his photography stuff more often. He is loving being a stay at home dad and getting to relax outside and watch the kids play. That is not to say that he isn't busy but it is a different type of busy...one that he doesn't mind at all. It has been a smooth transition so far going back to work for both the kids and Adam. I am doing good as well and am enjoying getting to know and building relationships with my new fellow interns. It seems like a fun group already! The farm is good as well and the strawberries are ripe! There are so many that after 3 days of picking Adam said, "How long do strawberries bloom and ripen for because I am already getting sick of picking them." Funny. They are so good though that it is worth the work! Other than that, not much is new. Here are some new random pics of Sierra...hopefully we'll get more organized here in a bit and get some pics up of all of us really soon!

Someone is always smiling...

Except when eating grass...

Or rolling on the ball (practicing baby yoga of course)...

Or trying to attack Dad...

But usually, she is all smiles!

Busy as (and cute as) BEES!

Well it has been a while since our last post and I apologize!  So much has been going on over the past couple weeks that we are just now starting to catch up with life.  Adam finished working at his marketing job on June 3rd and then proceeded to have a photo shoot everyday since practically.  We then went home to go to (and for Adam to shoot) a wedding for Adam's cousin, Josh.  The kids and I also visited with some family in New Richmond, WI which was a nice visit.  Then it was Sierra's 1st birthday this past Sunday!!  We had a little gathering of family and friends and it was really great (more pictures and video of that when I get them from Ann).  And to top it all off, I have been slowly mentally preparing, and actually preparing, to go back to work.  It is a hard transition emotionally so I am trying to soak up as much of this family time as I can.  I took these pictures of Sierra last week during the gorgeous weather we had and just haven't gotten around to posting them.  She is such a doll...I love seeing the sun on her beautiful face and her beautiful red curls!  We plan on getting outside a lot more this week now that the rain seems to have stopped for now...can't wait!
