I Apologize

I am going to apologize for my...let's say. . . . . . 2 month (or so) hiatus.
But I am back! And so we have a lot of catching up to do...

I've made myself pretty busy between now and the end of last school year... not that I'm complaining. I 'm having a great summer so far.

We've been having some good golfing days (yes, the sun has been shining here)... although I will tell you it's kind of hard to concentrate when you are golfing with this...

I got to spend an extended weekend with one of my cousins. :) It had been so long since we made time to hang out together!

This summer I have also had one of the greatest experiences of my life... South Dakota Girls' State.
It was so much fun. I met so many new people and became closer to old friends! It is definitely something I will never forget. :) I also won a scholarship for being the best attorney! (That made my mother happy..which is always good.)
 
The Scotland girls that went together!



 


There were nationalists and federalists. I was a nat :) The primary election night was definitely the best of the whole week! You can't even imagine... some people have tagged the phrase "It's a girls state thing..you wouldn't understand." :)

I've also had some fun time for friends.. of course :)

We've had BBQs... (I have yet to master the art of cooking...I tell my mom often that the genes just weren't passed down).

...and campfires :) The boys think they are good at getting this started..when actually it was my dad's starting block that got it going. (The girls stuck it in the bottom when they weren't paying attention...It's okay to feed the men's egos once in awhile;))


And of course..we have made it to Minnesota to see Happy Mom (for whom this blog post is dedicated :P)and the family! I had a great time both times... the first was to see some Twins games (they won both! every time we go its a nice W..i think they should invite me back every time...my poor dad is a Ranger fan...the outcome isn't as great for him!)... and the second time was for some nice relaxation! (although the weekend didn't necessarily start off that way... a GPS was involved and we will leave it at that... it is a different story for a different time.)

I got a nice picture of Cuddy and Danny!


Always a Twins fan:)


At the Cabin!! I have to say this looked like fun:)

Little guy loves to be silly!!
This is maybe my favorite picture ever:)



Little Guy also loves his naps :)


Royals. Twins. Rangers.
It's interesting during some baseball games.
I've also been keeping busy with softball..we have a pretty good team this year. (In case any of you are wondering i'm batting a .368 and play 2nd base...:P)
My best friend Jaymie thinks she's pretty cool in her catcher's gear.. :)
Sorry about the angle...I have yet to master another art.. that of rotating a picture.

On Father's Day we went to Yankton and checked out all the flood water coming from the dam...and all i can say is literally...HOLY BUCKETS!
And me and Soy finished the day with some good ole fashioned knee volleyball. :)
(The chairs being our net..) I decided to add this because it's more of a weekly occurance... until the ball flies too far and we get an earful from Mom.

My friend ANNA is back from GERMANY! If any of you facebookers hadn't noticed we had been counting down for the last 30 days :)
There will be another blog post on this one ^ mainly because we just have so much to say!

And this one's for you Happy Mom... :)
Ryan really enjoyed the birthday cake i baked him the other night. :)

That about wraps it up... I promise I will do my best to try and stay updated from here on out!! Thank you Happy Mom for keeping me on my toes :) I am having a great summer and I hope the same for the rest of you!
