Wedding Day!!

Tanya, Presten's cousin married Chad on Saturday afternoon in Elk River. What a day for a Wedding! Tanya was gorgeous! The ceremony took place outside overlooking the Mississippi river.

Jaxson had the time of his life at the reception - playing with his cousin Tyler.

Vada, our little turkey didn't sit still for two minutes all day! I don't think that all the sugar Tanya was feeding her had anything to do with it ...do you?

So sweet!

"hi mama" Love the hair Vada!

Presten, didn't work this weekend so really enjoyed some family time this weekend. Saturday morning we went down to the Mpls farmers market - what a busy place! If you haven't been go! There are so many vendors selling plants, fresh fruits and veggies, oh but of course we couldn't leave without the mini donuts!

Jaxson's last day of preschool was on Thursday. I can't believe how fast the school year went. He will be going to Sarah's with Vada until fall when school starts again. We are looking forward to a summer of camping, BBQ's, family and friends!! We are officially ready for summer!!

We hope that everyone else is doing well..we all seem to be kicking around a cold here! Have a great week! Krista

Summer - here we come!!!

Jaxson and Vada- taking a break this afternoon after playing hard on this gorgeous day!

Finally a day with no WIND!! We played and played and played outside today!! I even had two little helpers plant my garden with me this afternoon. I sure hope I have the same vegetables in each row...it is questionable:) Jaxson has done a lot of planting at school so he was talking to me about the soil and the worms...it was quite educating! Vada was covered in dirt from head to toe after we were done.

We decided to do our first bonfire tonight and of course broke out the smores! This was Vada's first real experience with them. As you can see...the chocolate was her favorite part! Mine too!

Jaxson testing out his smore!

On Saturday, I had a girls day with my college girlfriends and Lacey stayed over at our house. This is baby Hayden and Jaxson. She is so sweet


Since I am on every other weekend blog update - I thought I would include some pictures from mother's day. After Jaxson did an awesome job singing in church we headed over to the Kelley Farm to the farm animals.

Here is Vada checkin out the chickens

Mr. Jaxson posing for a quick picture

Love birds!

Mommy and my sweet boy

Jaxson, Vada and I went on a nature hike one morning and this was taken during the hike - Jaxson hiding in the trees!

Vada decided that she wanted to be 20 steps behind us at all times because she wanted to do some exploring on her own.

We had a great couple weeks! We are getting really anxious for summer..it is amazing how fast the weekends fill up!

Have a great week..or two:) The Bean's

Potty Time!

Vada has decided that she wants to start using the potty! She is so funny, she started going to the toilet in the bathroom and standing next to the toilet, lifting her shirt up and pushing her hips forward.....this of course is what Jaxson does when he goes potty! We decided that was time to get her potty out and see what happens. ALL she wants to do now is sit on it- she hasn't gone in it once, but that doesn't seem to bother her! She would rather sit on her potty than sit at the table for dinner...This was very new for us because Vada NEVER turns down FOOD! We'll see how far this goes:)

Vada deciding that she needs to the baby in her baby dolls pack-n-play! Na-night:)

Jaxson and Deanna playing on the swing set. They played and played today...What a gorgeous afternoon! Presten and I even broke out the Rollerblades today....and the training BEGINS!!

We also celebrated Ella's (our niece) first birthday on Saturday, but my camera was not

working:( -hopefully I can get some pictures that I will be able to post.

Have a great week! The Bean's
