I love my Uncle!

Uncle Ry Ry came to visit me, and I was so excited. The last time I saw him is when I arrived at the hospital, so we had a lot to catch up on. Thanks Uncle Ry Ry for coming to see me.

Beach Boys...

Yup, thats what I said....Beach Boys. Last night, I was able to attend the Beach Boys Concert at Mystic Lake Casino. Once I heard that they were coming in concert, I obviously said to Heather, "we gotta go." Heather did not feel quite the same way, as she looked at me with a face that clearly said, "What the heck for?" (Ha Ha) She agreed to go if I really wanted her too, but I figured, better yet, I would ask Steve (my father-in-law) if he wanted to go, being he loves the oldies.

Not only did Steve agree to go, but he used his "hook-ups" to get us free tickets. (THANKS STEVE). Even though my wife thinks Im crazy, I am pretty excited that I got to see the Beach Boys in concert. Heather's aunt and uncle, Debbie and Danny also went, which made it all the more fun. All in all, it was a great night. And don't worry, Steve and I fit right in with the Beach Boys attire. Thanks again Steve :)

Oh the joys of routines....

Bostyn is getting to the point, where she will not just sleep anywhere during her nap time (which was such a great luxury). She has started to wake up as soon as we lay her down, and seems to think she doesn't need to sleep. So, now we have been trying to come up with a "nap routine," so that Bostyn knows it is nap time, based on where we lay her. We used to lay her on the floor or on the couch, or somewhere in the open. Now, we have decided to place her in her "pack -n- play" for nap time. Well needless to say, she is not so keen on the idea. She is completely beside herself, that she would be put into some kind of contraption, where she can not easily see her mom, dad and puppy. So, she has done her best to stretch her neck as long as possible, to simply get a peek, back out into the real world. After a few minutes, she will let out a quick whine, just to let us know, "I will not be accepting of this new plan." When she was doing this, Matt and I had all we could do, not to bust out laughing. It was just too cute, to watch her peek her little eyes out, just for a glimpse :) OH BOSTYN!!!!!!!!!

Last Few Weeks...

Hangin' out with my cousins,
Nay-Nay & Wyatt (2nd cousin).

My 1st "4th of July" outfit

"Momma says it's important
to Support Our Troops"

"This is my Uncle Taylor. 
It was my 1st time meeting him. 
I liked him a lot."

We made a "wave pool" for Nay in Nana and Papa's pool. She had tons of fun. The video nor the picture below, show how big the waves really got. The waves were literally coming 

up above the pool. It was lots of fun. 

When Uncle Matt needed a rest,
 Nay would just turn around and 
say, "more waves Uncle Matt."

Fun filled day....

Down in Faribault for the holiday weekend. Bostyn had a fun day swimming with her cousin Naya (w/ their matching suits). And now, just winding down for the night, with her cousin Tan. I had to capture some pics of them, because it was beyond precious. She adores her big cousin Tanner :)

Yay for Matty....

Last year, Matt went on a shopping spree buying up all kinds of fishing gear....hoping he would actually go fishing some day. LOL. Well this last week, he packed up his gear and headed out for the lakes. His first time out (last Saturday) was not so successful, but tonight, something bit. He caught his first fish of the year (probably the first fish in MANY years...LOL). And he sure is proud. He sent this pic to us at home, and we had to share it right away. Bostyn got huge smiles when I showed her the pic of daddy. :) So I think she definitely is proud. Way to go Matty/Daddy :)

Time keeps on moving...

We have had quite a bit happen in the last while...



Bostyn has learned how to roll over consistently. She was rolling over here and there the last month and a half, but it's like she would forget that she could do it, but now in the last week, she does it over and over. She loves how excited her mommy and daddy get too. Also, if anyone watches Jimmy Fallon, you know exactly what the "fist pump" is. Bostyn has learned how to do her own version of the fist pump (thanks to daddy), and she is pretty proud to show anyone who will watch. LOL.

With the weather so nice, Bostyn has been enjoying being outdoors. She and her puppy have chosen the deck to be their preferred spot. Range has always loved "people watching," while laying on his bed, on the deck. But now that Bostyn joins him, he usually chooses to bypass his bed, and lay on the blanket with his buddy Bostyn.

This past weekend, we celebrated Matt's first Fathers Day, along with his birthday. And to further celebrate, daddy took his daughter for her first swim. Having it be in Papa and Nana's pool was all the more exciting. Range was a little jealous that Dad had a new companion in the pool, but he learned to accept it :) And Bostyn was more than happy to show off her new 2 piece swimsuit and sun-hat. All in all, we are all doing well :)
