Twins Win!

We were a little worried the Twins game might not happen last night as we drove in the rain to the cities. Just before game time the rain let up and we got to see the Twins win!

Gavin is waving to TC!  Go Twins Go!  

Of course, these two cute kids got on the big screen.  We missed getting Gavin's pic, but Jeff snapped this one of Carson!  They show the people with an "underwater"effect for the Watercam.

We had a skyline view, but as you can see it wasn't much of a view last night!

The Lee Family after the game!

Gus and Lexie are best friends.  Do you see that Gus even has his paw on her back!?

The Lee's Visit Hutch!

Before we go to the Twins game this evening we went for a walk down to the park. 

 Then, we went back to our house for lunch.  Gavin and Carson opened up their gifts from Grandma and Grandpa Lee.  Now the boys are taking a nap before we head to the cities.

Graduation Day!

Today was my graduation day from St. Mary's University with my Master's Degree in Education. I am now officially Melissa Mary Rudebusch, M.A.! It was a beautiful day! Thanks everyone for your encouragement and support!

Easter weekend!

Happy Easter! The Lord is Risen!

We are so blessed to have a wonderful family!

Susan made a wonderful dinner on Easter Sunday. We stayed with the Rudebusch's on Saturday night, went to Rose church and then had dinner before we hit the road for Hutch.

The guys getting ready to enjoy the tasty meal.

The Lee crew at Emmett's house! It is special to have family meals at "Grandma's house" and use her dishes, etc.!

Our contractors have been working hard...

My hired men! They have been working really hard! Thanks guys! I love you all!

It's too bad my dad and father-in-law don't get along at all, isn't it!?!?! hehehe!

Mom supplied us with monster cookies and chocolate marshmallow bars. We (me included) ate them all by Saturday night- Yummy!

Dad and Mike came down to Hutch on Wednesday night and have been hard at work since Thursday morning! Jeff took Thursday off of work to lend his services to the dads! The first piece of sheetrock is up!

Last Florida Update- Disney- Epcot

Our last day in Florida was spent at Epcot. The weather was BEAUTIFUL! We spent time on rides and walked around the world!

Jeff and I enjoyed some Arnold Palmers (1/2 iced tea and 1/2 lemonade). Here I am holding one in front of Test Track.

Mission Space is a very cool ride. We decided to go on the milder version so we wouldn't get sick! Good choice. : ) Jeff and I in front of the giant "golf ball." There is a place to try different sodas from other countries. Some of them are really gross, while others are pretty good. I liked the watermelon one the best.

The whole fam in front of the Epcot ball.

A view of Japan!

Yup, that's the Eiffel Tower behind me. We had some great pastries at the French bakery!

Susan and I in Morocco.

They had many of the Disney characters displayed. This one reminded me of Gus!

Our last dinner was at Teppan Edo in Japan. Our chef was entertaining and the food was great!

Yum, yum!

We had a wonderful time in Florida and were thankful to spend time with the Rudebusch family.
