Our Little Bike Rider!

Nana and Pa got her a new bike for her Birthday - it took her about 2 times around the block and she was riding clear and free.... of course we were out there with her while she was riding across the street - still trying to teach her to look both ways - kind of wobbly while keeping her balance, but she loves it and is doing great!



Lake Geneva Fun

Took the girls out to Lake Geneva for a short getaway.....


Hanging out at the beach - it was a beautiful day and a great evening to watch the sunset.








Also went on a boat ride with the girls - their first boat ride and they loved it! They really wanted to go in the water but it wasn't allowed where we were!

Blueberry Picking

Took the girls with some friends to pick some fresh blueberries - man were they delicious! We got the whole bucket full and all of the kids had fun!

Wisconsin Dells with The Kwas's

We went to the Dell's with Tony's family to celebrate his Mom's Birthday and their Anniversary. We stayed in an awesome entertainment bungalow that had plenty of room - couldn't even tell there were 14 kids there between 16 months and 13 years old!

Kayla excited to be the first one there to pick out our room!

Unpacking all of the food in the great kitchen that was provided...
Lounging on the middle floor living room ottoman, patiently waiting to go to the water park.

One of the kids recently learned how to crack a board with his bare hands - he did awesome and all of the kids enjoyed watching him.
On the way back from the waterpark I got a sweet picture of the girls in the lobby... they were pretty tired here!
And a family picture....
The next afternoon we went to see a water show... the kids had fun.

These people were amazing!

Nana and Pa enjoyed a carriage ride together! The kids all watched them ride away...



Pa trying to help Kayla go to sleep... she was so tired but didn't want to miss out on any of the fun that the rest of the kids were having!

4th of July 2009

Some of the kids with their sparklers....


Alexis and Kayla were playing on the ride on toys courtesy of my sisters neighbor!
The girls doing sparklers with Uncle Greg - Daddy was at work, so Uncle Greg was nice enough to help the girls do their sparklers while Mommy was taking pictures!

More Tee Ball and Mama's helper

Alexis takes off after her hit....
Alexis running into home plate for the first time at her TBall game - she is still learning - the older boy behind her was waiting for her to run in! It was really cute!


Needing refreshment after the nice run!

Trying to bat lefty...

Needing some assistance on what to do next... the first base coach nudged her along....
Kayla took this picture....

Mama's helper helping me use some of our fresh herbs to make homemade spaghetti sauce...

She is always such a great helper!
