The Ramos Family

Lorenzo cracks me up with how excited he gets whenever he sees a ball or a bat - instant smile and he wants to throw the ball or hit it with the bat! Daddy, no doubt, hopes this enthusiasm and love of 'baseball' stays with him since that's daddy's favorite sport! Lorenzo makes me laugh with his little grunt at the end - he actually grunts when he watches the video too! Seriously funny!!!!

We were fortunate enough to have some of our family from Oklahoma visit us again this year for the Fourth of July. While their visit seemed too short and went by all too quickly, it was filled with laughter, fun and lots of family time!! We can't thank them enough for making the 10+ hour trip (overnight this time) so that we could be together! Most of us will be making the trip to Oklahoma in November to spend Thanksgiving with them and can hardly wait. Here are some of the photos from their stay in MN:

Getting ready to head out for a day of shopping in Albertville!

One of the ten photos taken in an attempt to get all three kids to cooperate. Lorenzo, aka Mr. Firecracker (as noted on his shirt), felt the photo shoot was taking way too long (because it lasted more than five seconds which is the length of his attention span these days).

Maita, Missy, Myra and Juli watching the kids vs. adults wiffle ball game in the front yard.

Kimmy, Missy & Me. We're missing our Suzi Q.

Ashlyn swings for the (imaginary) fence, not sure it made it out of the infield ;o)

Self portrait!

Love this picture of Lolo - compliments of Bella (who had the camera for awhile).

One last picture as we said goodbye. Thanks for visiting, we love you and can't wait to be with you in November!!!
