Pics...

Hi All! We've been busy with our little chatter-bug! He's discovered his voice....and won't stop talking (I wonder who he gets that from...hmm ). It's pretty funny...once he starts talking, he gradually gets louder and louder just to make sure we are all listening!
So, this post is going to be all about pictures, since they tell the best story anyway! We've had a very fun and busy couple of weeks...check out the pics!
Koen discovered his Bumbo and loves sitting in it! He doesn't look very happy here, but I swear he likes it!!!

Cuz Finn had to try it out too....


Koen's 3 month pic!


The Orchard pics! Every year since Cuz Abby was born, all the kiddos take pics next to the big jug!





My BFF, Becky, stayed with us for a week! Becks was so awesome to have around for the week...she cooked, cleaned and ran errands with us! We'd like to hire her for good...

The girls all met at Cafe Latte for lunch...mmm... Jade (far right) has grown so much! She's almost 2 years old and she is quite the talker! She has a lot to teach Koen!

We celebrated Gramma Surver's (Koen's great-gramma) 80th Birthday! Here Koen is with his Auntie Suz....

Koen really wanted a piece of cake! Gramma, careful with that big knife!

A night out with the Morud's. Kyle is holding Keelin while Koen stares at the beer!

We met up with the Morud's for the Vikings game at Billy's. During the game, Tini, the little boys and I met up with Lindsey and walked around Grand Avenue for their annual Boo Bash!

The Boo Bash!

The latest activity with dad! Saddle up partner!


I hope you enjoyed all the pics! Koen is growing up so fast... it's hard to belive he'll be 4 months in early November!

Play-date with Keelin!

Last week, Tini and Keelin came over for a playdate...well, it was more of a social date for Tini and I, as the boys aren't really 'playing' yet! Soon enough though! I can't believe how much Keelin has already changed...he's looking more and more like Tini, which is amazing as all of the babies I know look exactly like their dads! We tried to get some pics of the two together...this is what we got! I don't think they appreciated all the flashing.... :) By the way, Keelin is already 6 weeks old!!!

Chaos in Greenlake!

6 kids + 2 pregnant moms + 2 other moms + 4 crazy dads = mass chaos! The Gustavson family has a beautiful lake home in Greenlake, Wisconsin where we all spent the weekend. It was a weekend that we've been looking forward to for a very long time! The moms were able to spend 5 hours at the SPA on Saturday for lunch and pedicures.... while the dads watched the Gopher-Badger football game with all 6 kids! It was so nice to get away for a few hours and have some adult time at the SPA, especially with my best girlfriends! I think the dad's were happy to see us when we got home though! We all enjoyed a lot of kid time, especially watching them interact and play together. The older kids were so sweet with Koen and Reese...Anja especially enjoyed playing with the babies! She's definitely ready to be a big sister! Saturday night was WII night.....guitar hero, mario cart and WII Fit! I think we could have played all night! Koen stayed awake with the adults until about 11pm when we decided it was time for bed. However, he was not ready to fall asleep! He layed in his crib for an hour smiling and laughing. Kyle and I just laughed along with him!...it's hard to get mad when the kid is purely entertaining himself! We did manage to get a pic of all 6 kids.... from left to right: Cullen Gustavson (2 yrs), Anja Nymo (2 yrs), Koen (3 mo), Reese Aafedt (4 mo), Fuzz Aafedt (2 1/2 yrs) and Tyra Gustavson (3 1/2 yrs). Cullen was the only one that wasn't cooperating...he just wanted to play with his trucks!

Here is Koen with his future wife, Reese. It was fun to watch then interact...even if it was just a little smile towards eachother!

Katie made the cutest pumpkin hat for Koen! It fits him perfectly! Thanks Katie. The look on Koen's face cracks me up here...I think he's confused about the cold weather! And last but not least, it was Auntie Kaycee's 25th Birthday on Saturday! Koen was so excited to wish her a happy birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAYCEE!
