Meaty Seat
I happened to be scanning through some old picture folders and came across some pictures scanned in from our wedding reception slide show. This picture totally caught my eye because Joe's rear-end as a baby in this picture looks just like Ryder's does now....like father like son. Now that's a badonk-a-donk butt!

Dancing with Daddy
A new favorite activity that Ryder enjoys is dancing around the kitchen. A couple nights ago in particular he was having an extra good time enjoying dancing with Daddy! he was laughing and giggling and if Joe stopped, he got all sassy and upset. Unfortunately (per usual for me) I did not get a very good shot of his laughing face, but I tried. You get the idea.
I love my boys :)

Como Zoo
Today we had an impromptu visit to the Como Zoo. Now most people who know where I live know that I live quite far away from Como Zoo, but it worked out just fine. While Ryder took his morning nap, Joe and I decided that it was really nice and we were both home for the day so we better take advantage of the situation and do something fun. So we packed Ryder's bag, got some lunch ready for Chubbs and we were off as soon as he woke up.
When you get to the zoo, some of you might know that there is an amusement park that you walk through to get to the zoo. He was looking left, looking right...LOVING watching all the kids. There seriously were about a MILLION children running around. Strollers everywhere. Kids running. Kids crying. Pure chaos. But good entertainment for Ryder. One thing we realized is that Ryder might be a tad too young to really enjoy the zoo quite yet. Half the time he was looking at other people or kids than looking at the animals. The only time he was really into an animal was if it was up close where he could really see it move. He loved the seal because it was swimming back and forth below us in the water and he could see it really well. And he also really liked the penquins because they were flapping their wings and swimming by us. The polar bear was a good one too. Other than that, it was just people watching. Unfortunately I kept forgetting to take my camera out because I was too busy trying not to run over little children (Camille, you would have LOVED it there! haha) So I only took one picture of Ryder and Joe by the lion den. Neither of them looked to impressed with me taking out my camera :)

Jenna's Bachelorette Party
This past weekend was such a blast (understatement of the century!) Friday I met up with Ashley and Camille in Maple Grove and we carpooled it up to Alexandria. We were the first group to get up there around lunch time. Unfortunately it was freezing on Friday, but that didn't stop us from going out on the pontoon before the rest of the gang got there.
Friday night consisted of games---flip cup, catch phrase, cards---of course I was on the winning catch phrase team, much to Ashley's dismay... ;) Then after much debate we headed to a nearby bar called The Green Iguana. After a few drinks and some crazy flash dance choreography creation...we headed home. A good night! We woke up Saturday to sun and blue sky! It was so nice to be able to lounge in our swim suits, get some sun and play all the bachelorette games outdoors. We were a big group, 21 in all:
We even made it out on the boat (well, only 18 of us made it on the boat) and in the water too. I figured if Jayna jumped in the water, I HAD to as well....it was a tad cold.
For dinner we headed back to the patio at the Green Iguana. And afterwards the party bus picked us up and the fun REALLY began!!! Whether it was Jenna dancing on the bar or the whole bachelorette party spreading through each bar to bust out in our Flash Mob Dance it was a blast---> a great way to celebrate our friend Jenna!!
