We are here, we are here, we are here!!! (Horton hear a Who)

Yes, we are here!! Sometimes it feels like we are on a speck and are oblivious to the bigger universe until our speck is rattled!! So we apologize for the lack of posts these past couple months, we have moved and are just now getting things together and can call our new place "home" (we moved 2 miles away). So next post I will have new pictures, adventures, and stories!!!

Jason's Conference at Gainey Estate

Jason's Great Books week long conference at the Gainey Estate in Otawanna...

Fort Snelling

We went to Fort Snelling for their Civil War reinactment and had a blast checking out the fort and enjoying the activities they offered.

Country Club Party

Some of the girls and guys who dressed up

The cake I decorated for Cate the birthday girl

Jason and I (his costume was the best one there, way to go Jason!)

We attended a country club themed birthday party on Saturday the 15th and had a blast. We had fake names (hence the name tags) and had to come in costume. We ate and partied and danced the night away! (or at least until 11pm then it was time to go home)

Our Latest Milwaukee Trip

This was our week in pictures of our Milwaukee trip to see Emily, Aden, and Jered. We had a ton of fun, partied with Aden to celebrate his 3rd birthday, Em and I saw Phantom on our big girl date (sans kids!!), and played at the water pad and at a fun center. Thanks for the good times guys, sorry it wasn't longer!

Visiting Melissa

Isabella (so cute!!)

William and Aden at Park

The boys

Before...and after (we like the after!!)

We went out to visit Melissa and her two kiddies at her parents in Illinois. We drove out with Emily and Aden and stayed Monday night and then the boys played hard all day Tuesday and we left that night. It was great seeing our friends again and hanging out, thanks guys for letting us come out and see you!!

This is what happens when it gets quiet in the house and mommy has to go and find where the usually noisy toddler is up to...(it's Balmex or diaper rash cream) he decided to not only decorate his face and neck and arms, but also our love seat, he figured the brown micro-suede couch was boring and needed some patterned designs... yea...lucky for me (and him) micro-suede is heaven sent and just about everything comes out of it, even rash cream.
