Camping

We recently went camping with Papa and Grandma Patti to Kettle Moraine State Park-Southern Unit near Eagle, Wisconsin.

The kids had a great time! Adam slept with Jake and Alexa in a tent for the first time ever! I slept with Emma in the trailer with Papa and Grandma Patti. It was much more comfortable than the ground!


They had a nice playground that the kids had a great time burning off some energy on. It also made some really great pictures!



Jake set his hat down and Emma took this opportunity to wear it while she could!



Jakob and Alexa also got to experience fishing for the first time. They are definitely not experts yet, but we'll work on that! Here's Jake trying his hand at it.



And here's Alexa.



We also found an old water pump that the kids were really fascinated in. We got some nice pictures of that also.





All in all it was a successful trip. So much so that we are planning on going again in July!

Great Grandma's House

We went to Adam's Grandmother's house today to celebrate Mother's Day with her and Adam's step-mother, Patti. It was a really nice time. The kids got to play outside while everyone did some work around Grandma's house. Her flowers are in bloom and they were beautiful!

Emma loved the flowers and I got a great shot of her exploring the tulip before she crushed it to death!

Her lilacs were also in full bloom and gorgeous! I love the smell of lilacs. The kids saw me smelling them, so of course they had too! I managed to sneak a few pictures. Daddy had to assist Emma a little bit as she was a little to short to reach!

We than decided to go to the park that is right by Grandma's house. Needless to say, the kids, again, had a great time!



After dinner, the kids got a little more play time in. All the pictures were of Emma playing though! Maybe I can get those other two next time!

All in all it was a great day and I'm glad that we had the opportunity to spend the day with Grandma and Great Grandma!

Final Grade...

So, I checked out my grade online for my computer class. I am pleased to announce that I got an A! I am very pleased with that as I was quite unsure from the final how I was going to do. I start my next class June 7th. We'll have to see if that one goes as smoothly!

Flowers from Uncle Rob

I was shocked and amazed when the door bell rang at about 4PM and was greeted by a flower delivery. Adam accepted the delivery and I was even more shocked and amazed to see that they were from my favorite brother, Rob! They were very pretty!





Thank you Rob! Your the best! I love you!
