Well it was official kick off to Summer this week at the Lokkens. Aunt Carolyn started coming to watch the girls. It is so nice to just be able to get up and go to work without dressing and feeding the girls. We are very lucky to have her. The week already brought fun adventures as the girls hit all the museums and the pool! Monday was also my Grandma Marian's Birthday! Happy 92nd Birthday Gram, we love you!
Cambree has been asking the funniest things this week. Asking about how babies get in and out, wondering who invented clothes and why we can't all just be naked all the time, and wants to know why they put "pital" in the word hospital?! That's our Cambree, you gotta love her!
Game fun at the Paul Bunyan Museum!
Fun playing outside too. Here they are posing by this big purple flowering bush in the backyard!
On Friday morning we got a call from Uncle Craig, that Brook was in labor, so we waited... and waited... and waited. Meanwhile Makyah had her first day of Golf at Princeton.
Friday night Brook did finally have their baby via emergency c-section. You know the Bergs, they can be stubborn! So the next morning before going to visit...Cambree had a t-ball game we had to attend. Cal was at an all day golf tournament, so it was just the Lokken girls. Cambree's team was missing lots of kids (there was only 5 playing) so she got a lot of hitting action!
And then we finally got to meet her...Everleigh Calla Berg. She was perfect!
The girls were both eager to see and hold her...
and so was I!
Auntie Brook looked great as always! Congrats Bergs, your house just got a whole lot busier!
When Cal was gone at the tournament, the girls and I decided to make him a guitar birthday cake. They also blew up balloons and tuned off all the lights to surprise him when he got home. We celebrated a little early...but oh-well! Cambree could not believe that I knew how to bake a cake, and she kept asking me if Cal knew if I could bake or not! I guess these girls do not see me cook enough. (I mean Betty Crocker taught me everything I know:)
Surprise! Happy 37th Birthday Cal!
Ok...so it was a short stemmed guitar!
We celebrated Father's Day on Sunday by going to Breakfast at Perkins! (Yes everyone else had the same idea!) The girls had made a few things in school that they also gave Cal.
On Sunday the neighbor told us that a snapping turtle was laying eggs in his yard, so of course we had to go and check it out. I guess in 80 days we will look to see if the babies hatched!
Summer weather brings more swimming at our house. The girls blew up their new air mats and had lots of fun trying them out!
The view from the deck...this is the life!
Well that sums up the week. We are so excited to have a bigger family with the new addition. We are also thankful for the dads in our lives. To my Dad Mike, you are the best role model a girl could have. To Cal's Dad Dick, we enjoy having you over for dinner. To our Caleb, how did we get so lucky... you are the best dad ever! We love you all! Love, The Lokkens
