Wisconsin visit

  • Yesterday
  • Post a comment

We spent most of this week in Wisconsin. 
We had a great time and got to visit with many relatives.  Here are a few highlights:

We finally got to meet baby Owen!

We got to visit the library where Grandma B. works and we even checked out some books:

Sprinkler!

It was a really hot day yesterday so Daddy showed Emma how to play in the sprinkler.  She was a bit timid (would only stick one hand or foot in at a time) but she loved it!

During Samuel's 7th week we had family pictures taken. 
It was fun and a bit more challenging than when there were just 4 of us!

Nathan had his last baseball game for the season this week.  Though his team didn't win any games, he had a good time and learned a lot.

We entered Brian in our local Christian radio station's Father's Day contest to win the Ultimate Man Makeover.

"Every dad has that item, that well loved, worn out shirt, or favorite pair of boots,
maybe even his lucky sports team hat." 
They asked for a photo of Dad in his worn out item... There were tons of entries, but Brian is one of Five Finalists!

Please help us by following this link Ultimate Man Makeover Father's Day contest and voting for Brian!  Voting ends Thursday at 5pm!  The winner will be announced Friday morning.
Just look for this photo:

Brian IS an awesome Dad and he sure does have some worn out clothes!  It would be wonderful if he won!
Thanks!

Though we celebrated Emma's birthday yesterday, today was as Emma said, her "real birthday!"  This afternoon we took the kids (and Grandma) to Baskin Robbins for a special treat:
