Lucy Turns 4!

We celebrated Lucy's 4th Birthday last Wednesday with Grace, Grandma and Grandpa. Grandma and Grandpa took the girls out for lunch and then we had cake and ice cream that night. Along with some present opening.........Lucy is still at the fun age where she likes whatever you get her.

August is Birthday Month!

We started the birthday festivities this weekend. Lucy had a couple of friends over for her party on Saturday. There will be quite a few more birthday posts this month. We are on our way to the Krumm July/August birthday party this afternoon....

Going to Madison

This week we made the trip down to see Dad on his job in Madison. We also got to take in the Henry Villas zoo and see where Mom went to college.


Helping Dad out at the jobsite.......this was right after the 4 hour drive, so we were a little excited to see Dad (and to be out of the car!).
The fountain outside of the College of Engineering.

Swimming at the hotel.

County Fair

This weekend we went to the St. Croix County Fair with Jessie, Lauren, Ella, Grandma and Grandpa on Saturday. It was a hot day at the fair and we are old enough to not be fooled into thinking there are just animals at these fairs......as you can see we hit up a few rides and managed to bring home some more stuffed animals and random toys from the carnival games.

We have already been talking about what we want to bring to the fair. Grace wants to show Mya in the dog show and maybe a cow. Lucy is into the pigs. Good thing we have a few years to think about it yet.......

Weekend on Lake Superior

This weekend we headed up to the Washburn/Bayfield area on Lake Superior with Mom's family. There was a lot of sun, fun, and good food. Thank you to the Weimert's for having us all up for the weekend.

4rth of July at the Cabin

We spent the 4rth of July up at the McNamara Cabin. It was a nice day with lots of water, food and family! You can't ask for much more then that! Thanks for having us all!
The kids liked getting rides in the kayak above is Grace with Uncle Pat and below is Lucy with Dad.

Lucy loved the water, here is Aunt Tina and Lucy on their way back from the swim raft.

Uncle Pat and Aunt Terri had gifts for all the kids, below are Grace's crazy drinking straw glasses.

And of course what party would be complete without some wacky teeth pictures!

Heading to the Water Park

The weather has been so nice lately that Mom took Friday off and we all went to the water park in Menomonie. It was a great day to be in the pool and have a picnic.
