Extended Weekend

Yesterday we took Grandpa Steve and Grandma Teresa to Bay Beach for a few rides before the rain came.  We had a great picnic and then opted for Toy Story 3 in the evening.  Today when everyone else went shopping, Parker and I ran around in the rain.  It was awesome.  And I may have to do some laundry...shhhh.  Parker had so much fun that I had to take a break and grab the camera so everyone else could see it.

Bay Beach - July 4th

July 5th...if you can't beat the rain...enjoy it.

Day of Relaxation

Friday night the Roquette grandparents arrived in Green Bay after a long drive, it is so nice to have them here for the weekend.  Friday night was visiting at home and we found time to take them to a park so they could run around with Parker and work the kinks out after sitting for 7 hours.  Saturday morning we made waffles and headed up to Menominee, MI to visit with the Mellenthin grandparents at the sailboat.  It was a hot day but it was breezy so we didn't overheat.  We played at the beach, went for "small boat" rides, walked the break wall and relaxed on the boat.  I think everyone had a great day.  If you know us at all it won't be a surprise to know that we topped it all off with Culvers ice cream on the way home.

Baby Mellenthin

Tonight we had our 32 week appointment.  I can't believe that we are so far along already, our due date is 8/28....not much longer now.  During the first pregnancy Penny didn't make it full term, she had Parker right around 37 weeks so we might be closer than we think.  The baby's butt is on the right side so Pen is slightly "uneven" most days and can feel it pushing all the time, I guess the baby likes to shake it's booty.  Everything is right on schedule, our next appointment in 2 weeks.  It might be time to start thinking about names, we are accepting suggestions if you have any.

June 2010

It has been a busy month at the Mellenthin residence and the camera has been a little absent.  June has been filled with fixing the house so we can put it on the market, getting ready for baby 2 (sounds better than 'it' right) and having fun in the sun.  Jeffrey and Talaine visited for the Bellin Run and soon the Roquette grandparents will be here to visit, we spent a weekend in Madison with Angie, Moe & Christian and now it is time to relax and enjoy the summer.  Here are a  few pics from June.

Bellin Run - Kid's Edition

Last night was the Children's Bellin Run and the rain held out so the kids could run their tails off.  Pen planned a Bellin tailgate party at our house for pre and post race fun.  The kids had a blast and the parents enjoyed getting together for beer and brats.  What a great way to start the weekend, with family and friends.

Summer Fun

What a great weekend.  Weather was perfect, lots of time with the family playing outside, planting flowers, washing vehicles and we got to watch Riley Berggren.  Sunday fun day was moved to Monday when the Berggrens returned from MN.  The kids never cease to amaze me.   Monday night they had fun in the sun with the sprinkler, and who let them get a hold of the spray on sun block?
