DELLS

We had a blast in Wisconsin Dells! The Wilderness Resort was amazing and kept the kids BUSY

IOWA SENIOR

Cousin Kelly's son Ian is back in Iowa for a few weeks so we took some IOWA senior pictures... it was a lot of fun!

Here are just a few of the zillion we took:

COMPUTER GEEKS

We set up Grandma Sue's old computer in the spare room for the kids... they are REALLY enjoying it :) Katelyn has better computer skills @ 3 than I did when I started high school

A VISIT TO THE FARM

This weekend we finally had some free time and took a break from home projects and yardwork to go visit an old family friend. Growing up we loved going to Erica & Edwin's farm, up the gravel from my Grandpa's farm, my dad and brothers all spent time there growing up.

Erica is 92 years old and still one of the most witty and wonderful women I know! Here are a few snapshots from our visit:

Time for S'MORE FUN

LOOK-A-LIKES

STEAL OF A DEAL

During the summer months I amuse myself with garage sale treasures... now I know some people HATE garage sales, I mean who wants other peoples used stuff, the answer is ME. Here are my most recent steals:

$10 powerwheels lawn mower

(Mr. Chase thinks he is really big stuff on this thing)

$5 antique twin bed

(my granola bar & energy drink were more expensive than this darling piece of funiture)

I also got a ton of adorable IT'S OK TO TRASH THESE CLOTHES outfits for the kids to wear this summer - we LIVE outside after school/work, no fun playing if ya can't get DIRTY!!!

BUSY BUSY

It feels like summer has hit full force, we have something planned almost every weekend for the next few months-busy busy busy. This weekend we're going to the carnival @ Pioneer Days- and next weekend we're headed camping in Grandma Sue's new camper... Katelyn can't wait to GO TO THE BEEEEEEACH

In case you were wondering...

... we're doing well too. For every 250 pictures of I take of the kids, I have 1 taken of us.

Here's a rare photo of the happy couple, a few weeks shy of their 10yr anniversay (5yrs of marriage of course- the other 5yrs were just fun and fancy)
