The Fair

The kids on the swings at the Cannon Valley Fair on Saturday.


Ashlyn went on the Ferris Wheel with Lincoln.

Chloe at 7 Weeks!!

Just some stuff...

Life is still flying by here. Summer seems to be going a lot faster this year than any other. Luke is loving T-Ball and we've been having fun going to watch Lincoln play softball. I am trying to add more work into the daily routine hoping to get back to normal, but I am loving just bringing the kids to the park or hanging out with them at home.

This past weekend I went to a cabin in Webster, WI with my mom and a group of her girlfriends...a women's regatta...it was a ton of fun. I love going...I love all those girls. They get together every year. I needed the relaxation. I may not have slept in or anything, but it was nice to not have any worries for a little bit even though I missed my family so much.

Well, I'm signing off for now. 4th of July is next week and the Cannon Valley Fair starts tomorrow so we are going to be busy again. Below I added some random pictures. Have a great 4th!!!!!

This doe was snacking around our house just tonight. I took this picture out of the bathroom window as she was nibbling on the tree right in front of the window. She hung out for quite a while tonight.

I took the kids to the park near Byllsby Lake and after we went for some ice cream at Dairy Queen. Chloe's seat wouldn't fit in the booth the way I wanted it to, so she joined us like a 'big' girl and she looks really happy about it, huh? She tried some ice cream right before that look.

The kids having fun on the tire swing at the park today.

This is the group photo on our last day at the cabin this past weekend. Yeah, we get shirts every year. This year was my favorite color (besides purple and yellow). Gotta love camera timers!

Photo Shoot

This is one of the photos taken when my friend Chelsie was here a couple weeks ago.

First Smiles

Her first smile...this is when it starts to get even more fun!!!
I should have pictures soon from the photo day with Chelsie...Chelsie???? :)

(Oh - that nice scratch by her nose...Ashlyn decided to help with the pacifier last night and gave her a nice cut...kids.)

Father's Day

HAPPY FATHER"S DAY!!!

Ok, I'm a day late, but to the left are pictures from yesterday at Grandma Darla's & Grandpa Kerry's house. Grandpa got the pool out for the kids and he even joined them in it a couple times, but then kicked him out so they could swim. We had a blast. Both brothers, Aaron & Ryan, were there too along with Ryan's girl, Casey. Love her!

We even got the pack'n'play out for Chloe because sometimes holding her was way too hot.

Well, my anti-depressants seem to be doing their job, but they are kicking my butt everyday. I am so incredibly tired all the time right now. Hopefully that'll get better in the next couple weeks. Post-partum depression is not fun and I didn't even know it was bad until a doctor had to stop me and tell me it was. I think what I need once a week or so is an 'out' - this weekend should help, I am going to a cabin in WI from Friday to Monday with my mom and her girlfriends....always guaranteed to have a fun time...rain or shine (but hopefully shine because I want to float in the lake with some beverages ;) ).

Summertime Outside

We spent some more time on Wednesday morning in the pool and outside before it got too hot. It is so nice to get outside now. As you can see even Chloe was content as long as I had her wrapped up...it was a little breezy that morning and cool in the shade.

How handsome is he???

So content. She loves laying like this outside.

This is the evil look. Sounds mean, but I am serious.

The girls

Just Us Girls! This was taken this past weekend when all my girlfriends from High School were over for brunch. I'll hopefully have photos up soon of our 'photo shoot' with Chelsie on Sunday.
