Go Gophers

Just had to post a family picture from last weekend before we left for the Gopher Game.  Carmen didn't come with us, however she was sporting her Maroon and Gold at home.

Ironically, Andy and I saw the first Gopher Victory in quite a while..... could it be because Carmen had her MN shirt on???? :-)

Daycare Bully

Andy went to visit Carmen last week at daycare and saw Carmen basically jump on top of one of the other kids inside the playhouse.

I went to pick up Carmen yesterday and one of the ladies informed me that Carmen has been tackling the other kids....... how in the world do you react to that?   I was laughing on the inside and laughed when Andy and I talked about it.

She's turning into being a little bully...... where in the world did she learn this?  

New Toys

Mommy decided this week that Carmen needed some new toys.... she seems to love all of them! :-)

Eating

Carmen is doing much better eating at home.... she doesn't seem to be too picky.

Silly Hair

Carmen's hair is just starting to get long enough for a pony tail, so we tried it out a few days ago.......

What do you think? :-)

California Day 3

On Sunday, we slept in and then headed to the ocean.  Even though it was only in the 60s and the water was pretty darn cold we decided we don't get the opportunity very often to swim in the ocean.

Andy braved it much longer than I was able to.   However we were both freezing and numb and headed back to the hotel hot tub.

Overall it was a very fun trip.  We didn't see a Gopher Victory, but it was a good game.  We missed Carmen like Crazy but enjoyed some relaxing time to ourselves.

California Day 2

Saturday was the big game.  We were up early and met our friend JJ for breakfast and then headed to the game. 

We tailgated before hand in the U of M Alumni area.

A view from our seats....

A few pictures from the stadium....

California Day 1

Andy and I were fortunate to have a long weekend away over Labor Day.  We left on Thursday night and got back Monday morning.

We went to California mostly to watch the Gophers take on USC, however we spent a few extra days just enjoying being away and taking it easy.

On Friday we went and checked out the Santa Monica Pier, watched some huge waves on the beach....

Had lunch in Venice Beach and saw some very interesting people.
