Weekend Fun in Minnesota

Alex and I had the most fabulous weekend....and here are the pictures to prove it! We kicked the weekend off with mom finishing her last midterm on Friday night and Alex wrapping up his basketball season Saturday morning





Then off to Minnesota to snuggle with the newest member of our family, Ryan Henry



Alex with his cousin Ryan



They melt my heart



Ryan is perfect and so incredibly sweet!! I loved every minute with him. On Sunday - it was time for some Golden Gopher Basketball! Alex and I love our college basketball and we had a blast watching the men's team beat Iowa















I love having shared interest with Alex and now that he's old enough to really follow the game and get into it, he and I have so much fun cheering for our beloved Golden Gophers. We have a date set for Thursday evening to enjoy dinner at the local sports grill to watch the Gophers take on Penn State. Thankfully, our local restaurant subscribes to the Big Ten network!

After the game, we stopped to see another addition to our family, Hazel Mae



She's so beautiful! Even though she was tired, she flashed me some smiles and allowed me to love her up for a few minutes! Aunt Terry and Kathy are very special to me - they started me on my road to earn my education, they've been the best influences for Alex, and they've guided me through so many disasters. It makes me so happy to see them become "Nana and Papa"
