Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday is Coming

We promised to go and visit Aunt Jenny this summer and card make or scrapbook. So the summer has slipped away and we headed down on Monday as soon as Mark got home from work (he has been working late and lots lately so a good time to go). We made it in time to see most of the second half of their final soccer game. It went into over time and then they won in a shootout!! Way to go Jenny, Melissa and Andrea! Here are a few pictures from the Tuesday.

WATCH ME MOMMMM!!!!!

Alex lounging at Aunt Nellie's pool

Carsten swimming in the deep end

This is fuuuuunnnnn!

Savannah and Aunt Jenny

Thanks Aunt Nellie for letting us crash your pool. Savannah knows who you are which is a big shock. She told Mark she went swimming at Aunt Nellie's. Thanks again!!

And trampoline time is an ever important time at Granpa and Grandma's house. Whether they be trying tricks, "cracking eggs" or just bouncing around...the kids would play for hours if the adults wouldn't tire ;o)

We've been busy. Last week was Summer Boys and Girls Club (VBS) and thankfully it went great! The bus was full as we had 65 kids over the week. Our theme was Follow the Leader. Here are a few pictures of the week.

Thanks to everyone who helped out this week. Thanks also to those coming out to our Pizza supper and the closing program!!

Family Reunion

Our family reunion was on Saturday and we had a good time getting to know some of our family that we haven't seen in a while. Many of us couldn't make it but it was fun for those of us who could. Thanks Mom and Aunt Nellie for the planning that went into it...we had a great BBQ supper. I even got a few pictures of adults :o)
