Church Picnic

Today was a great day. After church we went to a nearby lake and had a picnic / baptismal service. There were four people who were baptized. It is so neat to do this in a public place as invariably there are people nearby watching and wondering what is going on...and isn't that what baptism should be all about, anyway?

Tennessee Trip

Neva, Bonnie, Brooke, Stephanie, Miranda & I took a quick 5 day trip to TN for Amy & Mark's wedding. We had a great time. The wedding was beautiful.

I posted a lot more pictures on facebook - and am too tired to post more here :)

Had some fun after church tonight...

It was thick, it wouldn't run right...but it tasted GREAT!!!


Ooops!!!
(She didn't eat it)

I Went to Green Bay Today...

Two weeks ago my sister called me and asked if I wanted to go to Green Bay and go rummaging with her. Well, YES, I wanted to go!

Wow! Look at what I got for "someone."

Everything was super cheap, like 10 cents or maybe a quarter. Well, the shoes were 5o cents...and OK, the Packer hat was 50 cents, too...but that is like...well...a necessity, so that doesn't count. The stroller was $1.00, but that's to keep here - at our house :)

I also got Brooke some pants for work, but they are not nearly so cute. AND a brand new leather bound KJV Bible for $1.00 (large print). At that garage sale all of the proceeds were going to the WI National Guard. The lady was only going to charge me 25 cents and I said, "I'll give you a dollar."

It was a fun day we all (my mom, sister, & niece) went to eat at Olive Garden & had a great time.

A Few Pics

Well...I'm just going to throw some recent pictures at you. It's been impossible to keep current...first of all our computer was hit by lightening. We ended up getting a new computer and a hard drive enclosure and I'm able to get at all of my old pics and documents from the old computer, but it can be a pain. THEN...a few days after getting the new computer I dropped my camera and it is no longer working. (Haven't done anything about that yet, we'll see...huge sigh.) So here are some pics from the month of May.

Northland graduation and a visit from Joe & Bethany.

Graduation, A Shower, & Randomness

Today at church we honored our graduates.

Then, after church we had a bridal shower for Amy. Here is the teacup cake that Bonnie made. It was awesome!!
We will miss Amy!!

Tammy made the gorgeous quilt.
The Wychopens were here from Taiwan!!! Hannah gave a devotional for the shower and did a great job! It was fun to have them here today and hear all about what they've been doing this past year. Tad preached in the main service. It was great!
This is the randomness in this post. A typical Sunday afternoon at our house.

Guess What's Coming to Town!!!

They spent three days training in Green Bay this week.

Just a heads up if any of you are interested. There are some great give-aways at the 5 Minutes for Mom blog. You just need to head over there and comment on any of the items listed during the two week giveaway that you are interested in.

Spring???

OK...forget what I said in the last post about it looking like Spring...

because this is what it looks like today. AAHHHHH!!!!

A few days ago Brennan resorted to shoveling the back yard in an attempt to get it cleared off and dry for the trampoline. Obviously, that idea was shot this morning. Poor kid. :)

It's Been Awhile

I've been pretty busy lately & have several things to update on.

First of all...
The week after Easter, my sister, mom, Brooke & I spent four relaxing days in Wisconsin Dells.

We had a great time relaxing, spent time at the pool/hot tub and did a little shopping.

Then...this past week (Sunday-Wednesday) we headed up over the bridge...

and surprised Bethany for her birthday...

but...she and Joe surprised us by letting us know that we are going to be GRANDPARENTS some time in early November!!!

I think that spring is really making its arrival here. The first picture was taken as we crossed the bridge on our way to Midland and the second picture is taken in approximately the same spot on our return trip!!!

Kate!!

We've been watching Kate since yesterday!!! Fun times. Her mom & siblings dropped her off yesterday & she'll be here until tomorrow.Pretty much she enjoys this......and its various forms...

Notice Baby Einstein in the background?? Enough of that...she's doing school with Brennan now!!
