:: readying the rooms ::

To make room for baby #3, we had to do some room swapping. Alden moved to what used to be the office and the baby's room is in what was Alden's room. We have officially run out of space in this house and the quicker we start the new home build, the better!

Alden's emergency-themed room:

Owen's baseball room:

And, what I'm really excited about, the baby's nautical room:

We couldn't be more ready for the third addition!

:: sather family reunion 2014 ::

We gathered in Albert Lea for the 2nd annual Sather Family Reunion. Though there were not as many this year as the last and southern Minnesota had been hit with torrential rain the very same week, we made the best of it and enjoyed fun family activities!!

Time for the giant slip-n-slide!

Water balloon madness!

Alden thought he'd be sly and smash a water balloon on Seth. He then got an entire bin of water dumped on him!

Playing some fun games!

The infamous watermelon eating contest!

Alden's first year in the contest!

Adults' turn!

Having Ald finish up his watermelon....

Seth headed up a family wiffle ball game!

Conner's first wiffle ball experience...sheer excitement!

Fireworks time!

Family picture time!

Until 2016!!
