Apple Ford Shakopee Car Show

Some artsy pictures I (and a few by Joel) took at the car show on Sunday.

How do you even get into that thing?

Do you see me?  :)

Try learning to parallel park in that car!

This one's for you, Dad!  :)  Go Bud!

These last 3 pictures Joel took after his mom, Addie, Josie and I left to go back home (we live right across the street from the Ford dealership that this was at) so Addie could nap and because Josie's paws were hurting because of the hot pavement.  Joel said that this is an extremely expensive car.  The name?  I have no clue.  But there are only a few in the world.  Jeremy Clarkson from the British car show Top Gear owns one.

Joel's parents came for a visit

Joel's parents were able to visit this past weekend.  Was so nice having them around.  Addie got some new books and a puzzle from grandma and grandpa.  Part of the reason why they were visiting was for Joel's aunt and uncle's 45th anniversary party in Prior Lake.  Below are pictures from the party.

This girl loves watermelon!

 This is Addie's second cousin, Henry.  He is about 1 month younger than her.

Pull!

 UUUUHHHH!!!

 She LOVES water.  Didn't quite get the concept of the slip-n-slide, but at least she ran through the water.  :) Some of her second cousins in the background.

Trying to cut in line.  Stinker.

30 weeks and a new addition

And hopefully not much more than 10 weeks to go.  Here's a pic Joel took last night.  Baby is filling out nicely, I'm sure.

And for those of you who don't know, I got my piano last week!!  I've been saving up my money that I get from playing for weddings and funerals and Schmitt Music's warehouse was having a sale on old models.  So, couldn't pass up the opportunity, especially since this year is the last year I'll be able to write it off as a business expense (under Obama/congresses new tax laws you will no longer be able to do itemized deductions on your taxes after December... oh, and our taxes will be going back up on income tax after December, just to let you know...).  Anyways, I've been  enjoying being able to even just play for leisure, now, and also bring stuff from church home to play.
