You, Me & The Duprees (Kelly & Derek's Wedding)

This past weekend we spent on the North Shore for Nick's sister, Kelly's wedding. Kelly married Derek with whom she has been with as long as Nick and I have been together. The ceremony was so meaningful and sweet. It was a great celebration of Kelly and Derek and the wonderful people that they are.

Mr. & Mrs. Dupree!

Aamodt's Apple Orchard

We took Eli to Aamodt's Apple Orchard in Stillwater this weekend. My parents were in town as well. We also enjoyed the winery at the Orchard and were able to sample many of their wines! I am so glad it is close to our home... I will be "swinging over" to pick up wine again!


Other than the wine sampling, they had a petting zoo that Eli really enjoyed! There was also pony rides and a hay bale maze that I am sure he will love next year!
Eli with Grammy and Papa!

Just hangin' out at the Orchard!

Mmmmm....MMM!!!

The Sundsmos!
Eli can't get enough of this!

My guys....

A beautiful day with a beautiful boy!

Such a ham!

Don't be fooled... it looks cute, but this was just before I realized he was biting me!

Me and my Mama!

Eli's first visit to The Nook

One of Nick and my favorite places is The Nook in St. Paul. A great place for a burger, etc. and apparently for our son, a great place for picking up chicks!

They spotted each other across the room....

They were so stinkin' cute!

The two Nookie virgins!

Eli and Papa Mac!
