Tennis with Auntie Julie

Spencer grabbed the baby doll and hugged it like this and carried it around. Don't know where he learned it, but it was cute. We went to a park with Dean's sister Julie and "played tennis" for a while. We really didn't play much, but we did hit some balls around and the kids had a great time.

Wisconsin Trip

It took a while, but here are the pictures from our trip to Wisconsin. It was a great week and there were a lot of pictures but I tried to narrow it down... We stayed with Mary and Jeff and family in MN the first and last nights of the trip to break up the travel. The first couple are from our first night there. Blowing bubbles with Lauren.
Spencer playing Wii with Lauren...he actually struck out a few batters in baseball!

Our first day in WI we went to my Aunt Faye's and had dinner with a bunch of Aunts and Uncles and had a great time visiting with everyone! This is Spencer on a rocking horse at Aunt Faye's.

Aubrey on the swing at Aunt Faye's. She LOVES to swing!

The kids playing in the rocks at cousin Naomi's house. They did a great job of moving the rocks from the flower beds to the sidewalk...thank goodness Naomi had a broom! :) Dean and I joked that we were like a tornado going through towns leaving a mess in our wake as the kids managed to trash each place we went!

Our first visit with Grandpa Krueger. It was so great to see him...even if it was only for a little while.

Gardening at Aunt Geri's house.

Spencer and Dean in Spencer, WI. Corny, I know, but we thought it was cute!

Doing dishes with Aunt Geri. She sat up on the counter with Aunt Geri keeping her company, and then all of a sudden...

decided it was time to soak her feet! She sat like that for quite a while until she grabbed a cup and dumped it down the front of her. It was pretty cute. We spent a lot of time out on Aunt Geri's porch while we there.

I love this picture...a quiet moment between brother and sister...no doubt followed by a fight!
Loving the rocking chair!Aubrey on the swing at Uncle Bob's house. You had to be careful about putting her in the swing because she didn't like to get out! Playing catch with Orion and Lauren.

Dean had a good time on the 4-wheeler. He took both kids a few times for little rides and surprisingly enough, they both enjoyed it.

Aunt Peggy, Jodi, and Mary decked out in their breast cancer gear that Becky gave them for their walk coming up in September.

Aubrey's second favorite thing to do at Uncle Bob's house was the pool. She had so much fun with her cousins helping her on the slide.

Aunt Peggy with a sleeping baby Avery.

Dean playing a new game, Kubb. He loved it...we will try to recreate so we can share it out here.

Aunt Peggy is turning 50 and a "roast" was thrown in her honor. Savannah made her a very beautiful cake and she got a collection of great gifts...the walker included. :)

One of our favorite parts of the weekend was Uncle Bob and his polka band playing for us on Saturday night. It was great to see the kids enjoy some great music with a great family.

We wrote messages on balloons to the loved ones who are no longer with us.and the balloons were set free.
