Sunflowers

We stopped by one of our sunflower fields after church today for a few quick pics. Bonus pic - Jordan trying to "drive" the spray coupe. What a little rascal!

We had a great time in the Twin Cities this past week. We enjoyed a Twins Game with Todd's parents on Monday and a nice hotel stay. The girls and I had a fun time visiting my family and friends during the rest of the week. We visited the MN Zoo, Bunker Beach in Coon Rapids and the History Museum in St. Paul. Shopping was also a must! It was a great time but we were glad to be back home again.

Swimming and the Fair

We have had a busy few weeks in the Wieland household! Rachel and Sarah completed swimming lessons for the summer in TRF. We were able to visit with Todd's cousin and her family last weekend. The Pennington County Fair was going on so we headed up there for an evening of fun. Another important event - Sarah lost her first tooth! The tooth fairy came to our house and also showed up at Grandma Marilyn's. Sarah asked her Great Uncle Al if the tooth fairy came there too but she didn't make an appearance. Sarah received a dollar from Uncle anyway. The tooth fairy made a trip to Grandma T.'s house too! So Sarah made $4.25 on one tooth. I guess that Fairy gets around. Now we are gearing up for a trip to the Cities next week! Enjoy the pictures!

Misc. Pics

The cast of "Pirates - the Musical." A 45 minute show that was put together in 9 rehearsals (3 hours each.) The kids did an awesome job!


Rachel as a pirate.


Father's Day - 2009. Todd with his girls! He received Twins tickets for a gift so we are headed down to Minneapolis in July.

Feeding baby Calf #70

The girls have been feeding a baby calf this past spring. The mother had twins and only took one of the babies. Here are a few pictures of them feeding #70.

Trees

Here are some pictures of the beautiful trees in our yard. I expect that we will have a ton of apples this fall. Happy applesauce making! I really wish our flowering crab would look this good for the whole summer but, unfortunately, it will look terrible in about 3 weeks. Rachel and Sarah had a wonderful time climbing trees. I did have to lift Sarah onto her "branch."

Graduation

Our nephew (and Jordan's Godfather) graduated from High School on May 22. He also graduated from the 2 year tech college in our area. We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors. We are proud of you Will!
