Hangin' with Sven

This passed weekend the family went to visit little Sven 

(and also Pete and Jess with an added bonus of Grandma and Grandpa Damstedt--kept that one a secret until we left to go) .  

Oh-he is so cute!!!!!!  Wish he lived closer so I could hold him.

 Of-course we had to stop off at the Appaloosa Museum.  Lizzy was in heaven,

We were able to look around and see all the things girls need to ride a horse.   

 Saturday night we went ice skating with Pete and Jess.  I did Aunt duty and hung out with Sven.  

The rest of the group went ice skating.  They all did very well for not skating for a couple of years.  They mostly used the helps to go very fast and chase each other.  

 oh-yes the fun aunt and uncle!!!!!

 Isn't he so cute!!!!

See, I am good babysitter.

 The kids had forgotten how fun a new baby is.  When we got the their house on Saturday and had hung out for awhile they wondered what else we were going to do.  I told them, we sit and watch the baby.  That is their entertainment.  It took them awhile but they got into it.  Henry was able to calm Sven down and put him to slept.  Lizzy helped change diapers and Thomas gave him toys.  

Sunday was awesome.  Peter did a great job blessing the baby.  Jess looked beautiful in her dress.  

Look at that cute family.  Sven has an amazing spirit about him.  

 Later that day, we decided to let the kids go swimming.  Yes, the old mom and dad--on the side line and the fun aunt and uncle are in the water.  And of course I babysat Sven!!!!

We had a wonderful time hanging with Pete and Jess and little Sven plus grandma and grandpa!!!!!!
