60 to snooze in 2.5 blocks

We brought the girls to one of Nathan's last baseball games. They were walked around the field for most of the game by a friends daughter, then they played and wrestled until the game was over. Nathan's team won and Daisy and Lilly were snoring in the backseat before we got 3 blocks away from the baseball field.

Clean sheets at the cabin

I swear they either become tired from the smell of clean sheets or they actually think it's THEIR bedroom!

Lilly and Ben enjoying a car ride!

Lilly loves car rides, especially when she can watch out the window!

On certain mornings, it's just harder to get out of bed than others.

 

Remember this? 4th or 5th grade with Alex. 

Twins

It was easier raising the twins when all they did was fight over toys! 

 

Daisy

 

Can't wait for football!!

 
It's mid July and I can't wait for football!

Our trail camera caught this picture of a nice deer at Nathan's stand. Hopefully Nathan will take it in early September!!

Just talking to my girls

Ben

Ben loves his Ranger Danger!

Nathan Luxemberg tournament

Nathan's team took second, but won all the respect!





The boys lined up when their names were announced in the Championship game.




Nathan pitched a couple of innings, scored twice, played third base and had a couple awesome hits. One was a TRIPLE!! Oh yeah, and he got hit AGAIN!

Anyway on base huh Nate??

Nathan's team went 2-0 yesterday in day one of the weekend tournament in Luxemberg.

Nathan was one of 4 guys on his little league team to be selected by ballot to play on the "All Star Team" last night in Cold Spring. Nathan pitched an outstanding inning, and played second base also! The rest of his team an opponents were made up of the other better players in the league. The boys selected to the St. Augusta Gussies were (L to R) Ivan Meyer, Noah Voigt, Austin Klaverkamp and Nathan. Ian got hit in the face with a ball early in the game, but kept playing. Noah and Austin pitched too and did an outstanding job!

Nathan is getting ready to run to second....

Nathan is running in to be the next one up to bat!




Nathan and all his buddies received very nice medals. Although the final score was 7 to 7; Nate's team was declared the winner by the stats kept in the game.

Daisy and Lilly 'deer hunting' at the Lake... 6/30/09

Don't worry girls; Mommy is almost home!!!








Daisy and Lilly saw 2 deer walk through camp. To my amazment, they could still smell where the deer walked for 4 days. Yeah, I gave in and took them out 'deer hunting'... they were so proud of themselves.

Vacation at the Lake!!

It was 10 glorious days. No tv, not much sun, just a whole lot of piece and quiet! Nolan, Ben and Nathan went fishing to Antler lake and caught some sunnies, we went to garage sales, and cooked over the fire. I read almost a whole book, took many walks with the dogs and watched 2 full seasons of South park.


We watched the fireworks from the beach!


Lilly really enjoyed the drive to Wisconsin! She loves to let her ears flap in the wind!
