new jammies

Check out Isla's new jammies to show how much she loves her new playground!

Isla's new playground

Well, it's all finished. Yes, the playground for Isla is complete after many, many hours of hard work by Mason. Many thanks to Grandpa Wayne and Uncle Todd too for their help. So far Isla thinks it's pretty cool. I'm hoping we get some good use out of it this fall when the mosquitos finally die.

Beardsley 5K

Last weekend Jodi, Todd and Noah came up to visit us in Detroit Lakes and we all did the Dick Beardsley 5k. I am thankful Jodi pushed Isla in the stroller which allowed me to carry Greta in her cool "silly goose" front carrier. Greta stayed nice and snug and I think even got a little warm towards the end. The kids did great for the 5k and I think the adults had fun too. I'm already looking forward to next year!

Back to School

Well another school year is about to begin. Ashley will be in the 7th Grade this year. It is really hard to believe how fast time flies. She will be involved in many activities this year some of which include ... volleyball, basketball, Girl Scouts, band, choir, JO volleyball, pepband and confirmation. I just can't believe that it is only 5 more years until she will be a Senior in High School (I really need to catch up on my scrapbooking). As much as she says that she isn't ready to go back to school, I think that she is ready. She misses being together with her friends at school. I hope that she will have a good school year and that she will learn a lot. Good Luck Ashley!
