Matthias is 7 Months and our trip to Minnesota

Matthias is 7 months already! He weighs 21 lbs and is 27 inches long!
My boys:) Abel 5 1/2, Elisha 2, and Matthias 7 months.

 This is part of our trip to MN. Abel got to go to a St. Paul Saint's game with Dad, Grandpa, Dad's friend John and John's soon to be wife, Bethany. I think Abel's favorite part was the food...:)
 At G&G's house we got to have a fire and of course smores!
 We visited the Mahoney farm where Samuel worked when he was a kid. The kittens were a big hit with both the boys. Elisha wouldn't leave them alone!
 Dad teaching Elisha how to roast a marshmellow...serious business here!
 Grandma took us to the Mall of America to visit Lego Land. The boys had a great time!
 They each got a new set of legos and a bucket full of parts!
 Abel pulling Elisha on the wagon horse Dad made last year.
 Hanging out with Dad. We were blessed with some great weather!
 Our family.
 The boys with Grandma and Grandpa Gullixson.
 We also saw our good friends the Bloedel's. We ate at Famous Dave's for dinner. Here are all the kids after a good meal.
 I don't have and pictures of our time in Mankato (because I was silly and never took my camera out!!). But we were there for a week and stayed with our wonderful friends the MacPherson's. They are great hosts! After our time in Mankato we went to Colorado Springs to visit Samuel's sister Beth and her family. We went to the Garden of the Gods. This is about 10 min. before it started to down pour. Thankfully Samuel suggested we turn around and go back to the cars, otherwise we would have been soaked!
 We also took a trip to the Focus on the Family headquarters. They have a great place for kids to play and we had a wonderful time there.
Skip a few days of travel (you don't want to see pictures of that anyway...) and we are back at home! So great to be home after being gone 2+ weeks. God was good and saw us safely through our travels and we were very blessed by all the visits we had with everyone.
