Pumpkins!

All in a nights work....more soon.

It's been a while

Riding your rip stick is one thing but can you ride and eat ice cream at the same time?



Grandpa and Grandma R. were here for a month and (almost) everyone's favorite meal while they're here is the walleye they bring and fry up.  They kept busy with a bunch of projects around here and helping run kids and anything else that needed doing.  We're so thankful they were able to hang out those first few weeks of school!



Mia's first batch of Colleen's Chocolate Chippers.  She did a great job on them and they disappeared quickly!

Soccer...

soccer...


more soccer...(thanks, Dad, for the pic)

and a little fast pitch.  All that with a little school work mixed in keeps us fairly busy! ( that might be a slight understatement)  Life is good, life is full!

Day to Day

 Some girls ready for school shopping with Grandma VH, complete with matching side ponies!
 The result of school shopping. Thanks, Grandma! Summertime lunch. Avoiding cold sandwiches as long as we can! SMURFS in 3D! Crawdad Huntin'
Off to the Fair...
Not a bad view from the top!

Mia LOVED the ferris wheel! Anxious for school? They just played school at home. Target has some great "teacher tools"! Grandpa and Grandma R. made it in on a rainy summer day.
A few days later Mia and I left for sunny, HOT CA for a little work and a little play.
In the airport getting ready to head home.
Back to school...shoes!
Back to school...kids!
 
Back to school...teacher?!?!?
Back to school....lunches!
Back to school...football!

Project Life Pics

Just some shots from Project Life over the last few weeks.


Berry picking with friends.

Afternoon at the bay.

Favorite muffins...usually gone in a morning.

Our garden is bringing us many veggies right now!


"3-2-1-Let it RIP!"  The joy of Beyblades!

Holly with her newest friend, our neighbor cat, Bobby. He sits by the front door every morning waiting for her to come out and hang out with him.

We've been having some lazy summer days lately, not to many left and the route of school will start.  We're enjoying it while we can! Hope you are, too.
