Dancing with Daddy - August

Sister had a wonderful evening of dancing with her Daddy at Daddy's cousin's wedding reception.

Family Camp Fun - August

We had a wonderful time at Family Camp this year. The weather was perfect for camping and being out in God's creation!





Daddy in the paintball field. Still not sure why this is so much fun when his body is covered with welts at the end of the day : )


Brother got to enjoy some horse back riding.


Daddy rock climbing for the first time.

Daddy on the zip line - he is actually starting to build a smaller version of one of these in our backyard for Brother.

Sister loves to swing!!

And loves chocolate : )

Swimming and Camping with family and friends in July

We enjoyed a Sunday afternoon with family celebrating birthdays!

Brother has improved so much in his swimming abilities over this past year! He loves to be in the water!

Sister really loves the water too!!

Uncle Tim and Cousin K.


Cousins T. and S.


Feeding the Ducks

We had an absolutely great time camping with our friends at Lake Aquabi. Of course we happened to pick one of the hottest weekends of the summer to go. We tried to stay cool by doing lots of water activities. I did realize that most of my pictures of just of Sister and her friend playing together. They are a couple of cuties though!!





Out on the boat, heading to the beach!!



One tired little Sister after a long day of playing in the water and sun!

Butterfly Garden with Cousins

Just the girls!

Not very often I am actually in one of our pictures, but love having pics of me and my family together...just missing the Hubby!


Great area to catch of good shots of the kids together - although this was the only one that Sister was actually standing still and not running across the bridge.

My little sweetie!

Hanging Out in July

More fishing at the neighborhood pond.

Nice catch, Brother!!

Even Sister really gets into the action!

One thing our little girl discovered this summer was her ability and love of swinging...from anything.

Sister also discovered corn on the cob - this was earlier in the summer, now she gets a whole ear to herself.

Vacationing in South Dakota

These are just a few pics from our South Dakota trip to visit Grandma and Grandpa W and Uncle Lance. It was a fun relaxing time and great weather to be outside.

Daddy took Brother night crawler hunting late one evening and he literally had a bucket of worms to show for it - here he is trying to determine which worm is fastest.

Lots of time spent fishing...although not much to show for it.

Sister sporting her Daddy's sunglasses.

Brother just kicking back attempting to catch a fish or two.

Hanging out with Uncle Lance!

Fishing/Boating in June

We spent a lot of time as a family just fishing at the pond near our house - just a block away. The kids really enjoyed this...as did Daddy : )

This was Brother's biggest catch of the season. We caught many fish out of this pond, but this one by far surpassed the others in size.

One thing we all really enjoy is taking the boat out and playing on that beach. We didn't get to do it nearly as much as we would have hoped, but had a lot of fun on the times we were able to go out.

Sister (and brother) both love to drive the boat with Daddy. It gets really exciting when they actually steer the boat around the lake.

Yep - that is my daughter...soaking up the rays...in the mud!
