The Grandpas Visit

California Grandpas came for a week-long visit to Minnesota, and boy were they tired when they left! Although we had tons of fun and they took GREAT care of the girls (by themselves!) for several days during the week while DJ and I were at work, they got a taste of what like is like with two little ones...up REALLY early and going, going, going All.Day.Long. They did a fantastic job and it was wonderful to see them. We miss you already! See below for highlights. There are also a few pictures from our friends' Mike and Lindsey's wedding 2 weeks ago. DJ was a groomsman and the wedding was a blast!

This is a picture of a piece of hail from one of the storms that blew through here recently. Grandpa and Grandpa also had the pleasure of experiencing a real-life tornado warning. We had to go down in the basement and everything.


My "date" to the wedding, Tim "Gilly" Gilson. Gilly was in my and DJ's wedding and is a super good friend. He and I spent the afternoon bar-hopping before the wedding while DJ and the wedding party were wrapped up in wedding-type things. :)


The new Mr and Mrs. Straub!



The centerpieces were gorgeous - I am a sucker for great table settings and beautiful surroundings!

Grandpas gave Addison her very own little planter box and they filled it with strawberries, basil and flowers. Addison loves gardening.



...and golfing!


The lilacs are gorgeous in full bloom

Ready to celebrate her birthday!

Cake time! She didn't hesitate - even for a second.




After a bath to get the cake off, Addison helped Isla open gifts.

Both girls love to swing




Baby bicep curls. Isla had her one-year checkup and weighed in at 19 lbs 4 oz and is 27 inches long. She's in the 25th percentile for both height and weight (just a little peanut!) but her giant head is in the 90th percentile! All those brains.

This is Isla on the morning of her actual birthday, Wednesday 5/25.
