We all decided to drive downtown and see the sites. It turns out that it was a good thing that we didn't try to go up the Willis Tower (Sears Tower) since it was so cloudy (the building in the middle is the tower.)
All the men--dad, Scott, Eric and Steve
The women: mom, Janece, Ann, Mindy and me
Three of the Monsons--Kelsey slept through a good chunk of this trip
Joshua LOVES his uncles!
Josh was a good little sport--granted, he was carried the majority of the time!
After getting back to our apartment, EVERYONE crashed out. Isn't amazing how many air mattresses can fit in our living room!
Grandpa and Kelsey
Uncle Eric
My dad has always read book to us for as long as I can remember. Its fun for me to listen to all of us quoting little bits and pieces of "Hop on Pop".
On Sunday, Steve was able to bless Kelsey during church. Here is everyone who participated: two of our friends, Shawn Tate and Nick Corotan, Steve, Dad and my brother Scott. We were so grateful for their worthiness and willingness to particpate.
The Steve Monson family
The Monsons and Nufers
My friend, Emily Tate, gave us this darling baby girl outfit that we chose to use as the blessing dress. I'm not sure I've ever seen a baby blessed in anything but white, but we loved our choice.
This is Brimley Tate. We keep joking that he will be our future son-in-law (truth to tell--we'd LOVE to be connected to the Tates!) My dad thought he was being rather forward by having hand on Kelsey's knee! :)
Dad got lots of snuggle time with Kelsey.
Mindy and mom were so very helpful! They took care of Josh and Kelsey so much and we appreciated the use of our hands for the weekend!
Monday morning, we went frisbee golfing. Let me tell you: one of the dirtiest experiences of my life! It had been raining most of the day on Sunday and the woods were so muddy!

AfterYou see that most people had taken off shoes to wade through the puddles. I chose to keep my shoes on as I wated through knee-deep water to find my badly-thrown frisbee.
We loved having the Nufers up here! We welcome other visitors...hint....

Fun times.
However, I refuse to have sympathy that your Memorial Day had less-than-perfect conditions outside. As you'll recall, we had snow on ours.
Looks like a fun weekend! You have such adorable kids!
P.s. I'm glad you went with the pink!
It looks like you guys had a party! Those are great pictures-- I can't believe Kelsey is already getting bigger!
So so cute, and this is me being so so jealous you're so close to Mom and Dad and everyone (and for that matter that they're so close to YOU!). We just picked the cutest outfit we could for our kids blessings. None of them were white. Good choice. Way cute. It looks like you had fun! Love you!
