Happy Birthday Gunnar

Looking back, here is Gunnar at one day old. He was so cute. Okay he looked like a monkey, but he was a cute monkey.
Here he is at almost 2. This was taken right before we moved to Ohio. He is always this happy. Nothing has changed.
Here he is in Kindergarten. Isn't he the cutest thing?


And here he is today. Yes he has a broken arm, it is amazing what playing dodgeball with a big exercise ball can do to you. He also has bandages all over the other arm due to a nasty fall he took going down hill on his scooter. But look at him he is still smiling. Gunnar happy 7th birthday. I love you.

The Bunch

The last week of June, the Kalke's drove out to the west and stayed with us for a week. We had so much fun, going to the Wild Animal Park, the Zoo, the beach and swimming. It was so fun having them. Unfortunately this is the only picture I have. So go see the Kalke's blog for more pictures. From left to right: Kaleb, Michael, Mayson, Asher, Jorden, Gunnar, Axel, and Rhyan. 8 kids is a lot of kids.

The WAP

This is my cousin from Sweden, Jenny, and her friend Katarina. Jenny is the blonde on the right. They came out here to see how we live and what did we do we took them to our favorite spot the Wild Animal Park.
Here are Axel, AJ and Elli waiting patiently for the tour bus to arrive. They are so adorable.
This is my mom, Jenny, and me. Don't we all look good!!
Aw yes, my little big man Jorden looking as adorable as ever.

Gunnar's Birthday Party

We had to move at the end of June so we decided to have Gunnar's birthday party in June so he could invite all his friends from school. From left to right is, Francisco, Gunnar, Carson, Luke and Michael. The only person missing was John. And we did miss him. But the boys had a great time. We had it at Chuck e cheese and might I say it was by far the best place for a party ever. We didn't have to do anything and our house was still clean when it was all over. Why do I have parties at my house again?? Gunnar had a lot of fun though and loved having all his friends there.

Like Grandma; like grandson

Okay so I couldn't resist posting this picture. He is licking off the syrup from his plate. How cute is that. My mom can sometimes be caught licking her plate too. So I had to grab this picture for posterities sake of course.
