Just a couple weeks ago my sister Tara came to MN from where she lives which is in Denver, CO. She was up to see family and to also sing in our cousin Alissa's wedding. We spent the whole weekend in Rochester, MN with family and it was so much fun. We spent Friday night with family by the pool where Aspen was a little fish and did not want to leave. Saturday morning we enjoyed breakfast at the hotel, I got to go and get my nails done, lunch at Jimmy John's, and then it was wedding time. The ceremony was beautiful, the music was breath taking, and the place where they had there reception was awesome! Besides having a wonderful area for the meal and dance they had a room off to the side where parents could bring there children (the staff of the country club watched the children) and in this room they were entertained with movies, popcorn, coloring books, etc... The parents could then enjoy themselves at the dance, Aspen had a great time! We ate a great meal, enjoyed great music and danced the night away. On Sunday morning we had breakfast at the hotel, enjoyed walking around downtown, and enjoyed lunch.

Sunday night my brother Todd was able to get us tickets to go see Hootie and the Blowfish and my mom was gracious enough to babysit Aspen and Titus. So my sister, brother, two of his friends, and Zac and I ventured out to the zoo to enjoy a nice evening of music and it was very fun! We had a great time and the weather could not have been any better. It was awesome!

On Monday we just spent time at developing photos, a little shopping, and just a day to relax from our busy weekend. Tuesday we went to the Mall of America where Aunt T bought Aspen some points to enjoy some rides at Nickelodeon Universe. It was fun on the carousel, Blues Clues, Balloon Ride, Trucks, Swiper, etc... It made Aspen's day! Although we had so much fun it had to come to an end and we ate together and said good bye to Aunt T because she had to go back to Colorado.

I love my sister very much and I love watching Aspen bond with her, she really does love her Aunt T and she is such a great sister, friend, and Aunt T to our children. She is a treasure and we always look forward to seeing her.
