We have been very busy like always they last couple weekends!! Last weekend Frankie, Colton and I went to La Crosse, WI for 3 days just for a little family get away! We spent most of the time just relaxing in the hotel. But we did go for some walks along the river, we went up to Granddad Bluff to get an amazing view of the city, we had dinner with some friends and of course did lots of swimming in the pool!
This kid can always make me smile.

Colton was so worn out after swimming - he fell asleep in about 2 minutes!

Colton and Daddy at Granddad Bluff!
Check out that view - Amazing!
That's my boy - exploring like always!
Colton in the car on the way home - he read books to his baby until he fell asleep!When we got home on Monday we put together Colton's New Sandbox and filled it with sand! This was his birthday present from Grandma Yvonne - it just took us this long to get it for him (we were very slow to decide what kind we wanted - finally grandma just picked one and it is perfect). He loves playing in his Sandbox!!
Colton and Daddy getting dirty - that is until Colton needed to take a break for a Freezie!!
This last week at work has been pretty eventful! I got promoted to Senior Service Specialist on Wednesday! I am so excited about this, hard work has paid off! And then on Friday I found out that I won a Rising Star Award for the month of August!! I was nominated by the consultant on my team for my focus and dedication to the team! Needless to say my week has been pretty good! And the last two nights we have had friends and family over for BBQ's, Bonfires and board games - Loaded Questions is the best game ever made! The only bad thing I have to report is about the Vikings! I am not sure what it is going to take for them to win but I am not sure how many more games I can watch that end is disappointment! But we still had fun eating chicken wings and french fries - you have to love game day!!
I always love your blogs! Colton is so lucky! As for the purple and gold...they need to figure out what they are doing on offense SOON! Poor Peterson can run the whole game and we CAN'T win by just kicking fieldgoals! We listened to it on the way up to my parents for my Grandma's Birthday, and they sounded good the first half...but then as soon as we started to watch...HEY maybe that's it...I shouldn't WATCH lol Courtney and Andy went to the game (Andy's first and I think he enjoyed it) But the end was sad, and it's a long drive home to North Dakota after a loss like that! ok..novel done...and any spelling errors will NOT be corrected lol Love ya, Anna
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the promotion and rising start award! Sounds like a great week!!!
ReplyDeleteyes, you are right! TOTALLY going through the "empty nest"! Bill is missing her more than I think he ever would (she has always been daddy's little girl). Anytime you want to "share" Colton...let me know :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. How is the new promotion working out? Lovin' life?
