Summer 2015

Seriously, SUMMER is over... :(
Here is a recap...

Our Up North friends, the Harms Family of 5, visited us for the weekend.  Sorry, this is the best pic - one child was napping - and Abby is teaching the others how to stretch!  We had a great time together!  We also had two extra children (so... 8 kids and 4 adults) - my cousin's little ones - while they were away for the weekend.  I got my baby fix :)

Ashley's first overnight camp at Camp Omega in Waterville, MN.  The rest of us went camping with my parents... it rained ALL day Saturday.  I'd rather stay in a hotel next time  :)  Ashley LOVED camp!

Carson was in T-Ball for the first time...

And Soccer... 

We spent MANY days at the Apple Valley Aquatic Center!

Happy 4th Birthday to Lucky on June 21st!  I thought it would be fun (and cute) to make our own cake for him with a lit candle... ah, not a good idea.  He did not hesitate at all to the flame.  Burnt whiskers and so we had to blow out the candle.  Oops.

Happy 4th of July!!!  We were saddened to not spend the fireworks with Grammy Pam, as she was discharged from the hospital on this day, her birthday, and then readmitted for pulmonary embolisms.  Sucky birthday for her.  We prayed so hard.  For the first time we stayed home to watch our neighbors fireworks... worth it, and Thank God Grammy is healthy again!

Poor Ashley had a crazy, weird sickness: fever for 5 days, headache, chills, vomiting, extreme tiredness, loss of appetite, sore throat.  Yup, the white crud on her tonsils and all these symptoms were NOT strep.  Poor girl was miserable for almost a whole week.  It sucked.  Thank God she got better!

Ha!  FUN cabin time at Jim & Leslie's!!!
Face painting!!!!



Thank you Leslie for Carson's awesome fishing pole!
He caught his first fish!


We visited Grandma Sally in Redwood Falls.
We love her.

We discovered THIS for the first time in Redwood Falls.  Seriously, why didn't we know this was here?!  Beautiful.


All THREE kids went to Vacation Bible School - at two different churches!
They loved it!
