A Goodnature Wedding in Brainerd

Congratulations to Kaeli and Derek Goodnature!  We are very happy for you!  It was a beautiful wedding, and extra exciting!  Also, congratulations to Kelsey and Matt on their little bundle of joy!  Bergan Matthew, who will be sharing his birthday with Kaeli and Derek's anniversary for the rest of his life!  Now Derek will always be able to remember how many years they have been married, by how old Bergan is.  What are the odds!   

It was a beautiful wedding, and we had such a great time celebrating with you, and all of the Waynes!

Kirby's First Twin's Game

We had fun going to the Twin's Game with Chris, Christy, and Kirby!   Before Patrick was born, he got the nickname Rooster.  Chris and Christy's little one is destined to be a baseball fan, so he got the nickname Kirby! 

It is getting so close for us to meet Kirby, and we cannot wait! 

Hey, They Don't Look Like Rylee!

As part of River Town Days they have a little petting zoo, so when Grandma and Grandpa said they were taking Reese there, Patrick and I jumped in the car to go meet them.  Patrick hasn't seen too many animals outside of dogs, and turns out, dogs are his favorite!  He wasn't quite sure what to make of the strange sounds coming from the calf and the sheep! 

Then we took a little time out for a little lunch!  How's that giant hot dog, Reese? 

Delicious!! 

Patrick just got to crunch up all of the chips!  

 Thanks for a fun time, Grandma and Grandpa! 

Happy Fourth of July!

The last ten years, for the Fourth of July we have been invited to the Mayhew family cabin.  Well, this year was a little different, sadly, after the Friday night storms that rolled through Wisconsin left their cabin without electricity, and 13 tall pine trees down in their yard, and on top of their garage and cabin.  Luckily everyone was safe and sound, just a ton of clean up to do. :( 

But, since we couldn't make it there this year, we busted out a camp chair and brought a piece of the cabin experience to Patrick at home.

He didn't know what he was missing out on, so it worked out okay :)

Please don't bother me...I'm loungin'. 



Why do I have to wait for the water to warm up in the pool?  I'm ready to swim!



Loving it!







Happy Fourth! 



Christy, Chris and "Kirby"





Dad, why can't I have that delicious chip dip?...it's so much better than peas!

Hope everyone had a great holiday!

Mr. and Mrs. Bavin

I just wanted to wish my beautiful sister, Emily, a big congratulations on marrying her Beefcake.  I couldn't be more happy for you both!  Welcome to the family, Brent!  We had such a great time at your wedding!

Reese is Turning Two!

Happy, Happy Birthday to my adorable niece!  She is in LOVE with Elmo, and he was the main guest at her party!  Her mommy also made her a cupcake/cake, that I honestly thought was bought at a store.  It was so adorable!  Nice work, Steph!  Hope you had a wonderful birthday!  Love you!
