Cover Boys

Carsten and Mitch had a wonderful opportunity to do the cover for Raising Arizona Kids Magazine. Carsten certainly looks happy in this picture, but it is not easy to get a toddler to sit still and smile for a long period of time. We had fun doing it, but definitely are not pursuing a modeling career.

The Zoo and Pumpkin Patch

Last week was fun and the weather is really starting to be beautiful. Carsten and I visited the zoo and I think everyone in AZ wanted to enjoy the nice weather too. We saw a lot of animals and fed the giraffes again...that is my favorite part. Wedding season has started again, so Mitch and Carsten get to hang out and Saturdays and I miss the family time. We went to the pumpkin patch on Sunday and saw the animals, went through the corn maze, which freaked me out, saw pumpkins, and went on a train ride. It was a lot of fun to be outside and enjoying Halloween activities.

September & October

We have been busy the last couple of months with Carsten and Mitch doing a photo shoot for Raising Arizona Kids Magazine and going back to MN for 2 weeks and attending 2 weddings. Mitch and Carsten were lucky enough to do the cover of a magazine here in Arizona. The cover comes out in November and we are excited to see how it turns out. It was not the best thing getting a toddler to sit still, but they claim to have some cute photos to work with. We had a nice time back in MN, but both Carsten and I were sick most of the time we were there, so we weren't too much fun to be around. Mitch and I went to the MN/Wisconsin football game at the new stadium with some friends. We had a blast, but I lost my voice on vacation after a horrible sore throat, so I was no help to the Gophers. I went to Green Bay to be in a wedding for a good friend from college and also was a personal attendant in my cousin Anna's wedding. Both were beautiful weddings and it was nice to see family and friends I hadn't seen in awhile. Thank you to Grandma Diane for watching Carsten while I was at Anna's wedding.
