July 4th weekend

We spent the weekend of the 4th in Wisconsin. 

It was great to be together for the Krisher reunion!  

One problem with those reunions though....

 is there is just never enough food!!  

Yeah sure, like that is ever a problem!

It's always fun to hear some of their music!

Steve and his brother Brian with four of the step cousins.  

They always say they claim them as cousins when they want to 

and don't if they don't want to!!??!

Telling "stories" like usual!!

Steve's family that was at the reunion. His niece 

Jenny and family had been there too, but left before 

this picture was taken.

We had some extra "passengers" on the way home.  

We took these three kittens from Uncle Fred and Aunt Elaine's 

to Mike and Amanda's. They rode really well considering they 

hadn't ever ridden in a vehicle before

Dane wasted no time naming them and playing with them!

The calico kitty is Rosie, the black and white kitty is Bessie

and the orange and white kitty is Sunny.

Grammy shows Nora how to play with the kittys!

We hear they are getting lots of love and attention!

Nora is Two!

Ok, so we're just a little behind posting!  

Our little "princess" has been 2 for a month now. 

The day of her party was a beautiful summer 

afternoon and we all enjoyed the sunshine!

This gift was a real hit that afternoon!

It was hard to know who was having more fun...

the little kids or the big kids!!!

The play set and playhouse got a 

pretty good workout that day too!

We finally got the playhouse put back together

 after it's move from the city!  

It seemed much larger in that little backyard!

It seemed Dane and Nora were happy 

to see the playhouse again!

Chasing bubbles is so much fun!

The family watching the parade on 

Sunday afternoon in Kensington!

Dane and Nora watch Grandpa Paul go by in

 his Mercury Monterey.

Dane and Nora picked up enough candy 

to fill the cookie jar at home!

Ben and Jen joined us for the weekend too!

The Anderson Family with the farm in the background. 

Dane and Nora love to walk on these bales.

 

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a fun Memorial Day weekend with Mike, Amanda, Dane & Nora. Grampy & Grammy got the kids a playset and it needed to be assembled. We managed to make that project last for most of the weekend but we did take some time to enjoy a baseball game in Kensington on Saturday, a delicious buffet brunch in Alexandria Sunday noon and a hot dog and marshmallow roast over a nice fire Sunday evening.

Dane and Nora are eager to help!
