Preschool Field Trip - Continued

Lindsey picked the perfect pumpkin...


her buddy Gaven thought she needed help carrying it, but Lindsey said no. She's one independent little girl.


Hannah was proud of her perfect pick. So was Mommy. It was great fun and Mommy got to go along. - Oct. 2009

Wisconsin Dells - Condo Home

Inside condo home, the girls enjoyed messing around and messing up the condo. There was plenty of room to play and they especially liked that the couch made into a bed.


For some reason, this worn-out deer appealed to them. Daddy probably wouldn't have approved of Mommy letting them sit on the deer but too bad - they were having a good time:P - Sept. 2009

Wisconsin Dells - Condo Home

Who me? Drink your Diet Pepsi?

Once we arrived at the condo, the girls started calling it condo home. It had all kinds of things for them to do including a large sandbox which they loved.



Lindsey especially loved it when we drug water up from the lake to make sandcastles. Not sure if she liked making the castles or just getting dirty.


The lake was pretty small but it did have paddleboats which we took advantage of. They were sparkly which was especially attractive to the girls.

A playground was right outside the door of our condo and kept the girls entertained every day. They like to swing and play "captain." - Sept. 2009

Wisconsin Dells - The Train

Early in our trip to Wisconsin Dells, we decided to go on a train trip, as part of the trip the kids were invited to put pennies on the track for the train to run over. We did two pennies and two dimes. Very cool. - Sept. 2009


Lindsey couldn't wait for the train to leave the station.


Neither could Hannah. They'd never been on a moving train before, well at least not one this big.

We liked the ride. - Sept. 2009

Better Late than Never

So sometimes when you wait forever to post pictures, they get a little out of order. So for those of you who follow the blog you may notice that the reunion pictures are actually before the vacay photos. We actually were on vacation before the reunion but Oh Well, it's been a little crazy on our end.

Family Reunion

Reid, Cooper and Lindsey get down and dirty with some trucks.


Hannah enjoys swinging with Uncle Roger and Boogey on the swing while the big boys shoot. Notice the swanky ear protection.


Anna enjoys the company of the not-so-little ones - Reid, Lindsey, Hannah and Jackson.

Hannah and Anna. - Sept. 2009

Daddy's Birthday

At our house...


and at Grandma and Grandpa's. Daddy's a popular guy. - Sept. 2009

Last of the hay bales

Hannah especially likes the hay bales. I think because we keep telling her it means fall is coming and that means that winter will soon follow. Last week when the weather was cool, she was convinced we'd be making snow angels by today. Well, maybe winter won't be coming that quickly. - Sept. 2009

Hay bales

One of the guys who works with Daddy came over the other day and cleaned up the field in front of our house. Now we have some really cool hay bales. We couldn't wait to grab a snack and then go out and look at them. Lindsey was thrilled to grab some Sun Chips and Cheetos - anything orange and messy - for the walk out the front yard.

The bales are really cool - and big!
