More updates from May- just can not keep up!!!

In May we took some end of the year field trips with the kids school.  This one is of the fabulous 4K boys at Holy Hill.  Geyer, Kaleb, Clayton, Cory and Calvin.

 The 4K girls - Adelaide, Adaline, Mya and Sarah - What a wonderful field trip for our St. Peters kids.

 The day was not busy enough so I meet up with my sister in law and we headed over to the "carnival" at the Piggly Wiggly.  What a blast and CHEAP too.  Free tickets from buying groceries.  Clayton, Calvin, Kaylee, Kenzie and Abby on the train!

 Best picture of Abby ever!  Kenzie and Clayton too. 

 Kids with the piggy!!!!  Calvin, Kenzie, Clayton, Abby, Cameron and Kaylee!

 Calvin and Kenzie!!

Clayton and Kaylee were making it spin like CRAZY. 

 Cameron taking Abby on the ride of her life.  OK really he was trying to hold it still so it did not spin.

 Then we put Cameron on with Calvin so he could spin it!!!

Such a fun little trip to the local grocery store!!!

 Although most of my posts are about the kids and what they are doing I also get out and have some fun too.  These are pictures from our absolutely wonderful Girls Night Out down in Milwaukee.  Thanks Cousin Sarah for letting us come down and hang out in the big town with you.  We had a blast!!!

First eating and some beer pong at Sarah house.  Then a night on the town!

Me and My sissy in the BIG CHAIR in the street.

 Bragging for my sister.  How great does she look!

 So much fun with my cousins!  Kelly, Sissy Wendy, and Maggie!

 My and Sarah!  Thanks we had so much fun!

 Kathy and Kelly in the big chair!

 Because I love hanging out with kids we had a play date. It turned into a great Birthday party for my nephews bear.  All the boys made hats and sang Happy Birthday to the bear. 

Left to right - Geyer, Clayton, Birthday Bear, Isiah, and Calvin

 The kids had an end of the year school concert at church. 

I mostly took videos but this photo did show the whole school!

 We are also in the heat of baseball season. 

This is Cameron pitching. 

Still working on that form but major improvements over last year. 

 Clayton and Calvin getting some work done around the house. 

Pretty much the only work we did outside this year. 

 I also got to take a great field trip with Cameron to Shalom Wildlife Sanctuary.  It was the 5th grade and 5K buddy field trip and it was a lot of fun.  This the the 2 day old fawn they had. 

 Baby bobcats or something.  Their names were Peanut Buddy and Jelly.

 Here are the fabulous 5th graders!  Yes all three of them!

Cameron, Cali and Kolten

 Baby fawn that was born hours ago!

The 5K and the 5th graders loved their trip!

 St. Peters also had their very own Talent show and Cameron and his friend Mikey preformed some wrestling moves for their talent.  Here Cameron is doing some type of headlock. 

This is part of what we have been doing in May - Next up trips up north, graduations and more summer fun!  Hope to get back on track soon. 

Updates since April!!!

I would like to let the pictures tell the story of what we have been up to since April!





 So it was very nice and warm in April and we decided to get ready for summer.  Here are the boys trying on their puddle jumpers (life jackets). 

              Clayton is even trying on his water goggles. 

 Here the kids are helping Susie make Donnie's Birthday cake.  We also got to celebrate with him for his surprise 70th Birthday Party.  What a blast.

We ended April on a great note.  We did back to back Brewers games!!!!!  The first one we got to go to with the Rettler clan.  Jane & Gerald took us all to the game with the kids.  It was a good time even with the loss.

Clayton, Calvin, Elsa, Kenzie, Abby and Lauren



 Cameron was not able to come as he had a middle school orientation event so my daddy came in his place!

Cute photo opportunity.

 Cute pic of Calvin

Daddy was also enjoying the game and a Hot dog!

 But a loss makes everyone a little sad - Poor Clay and Daddy

 Ok - Fun back on.  We are here with our cousins and we like to have fun.

Lauren, Clayton & Calvin

 Lauren and Calvin

Mommy, Calvin, Lauren oh and in the background uncle Andy jumped in.  Creeper.

Best Friends Forever - Calvin and Lauren

Kenzie hanging with her Grandpa Dick!

After that late night we got to get up early, go to school and then head off with the Wonderful St. Peter's School to another Brewers game!!!!!  The kids earned tickets through their magazine sales.  It was a really great time again!

Cameron, Calvin, Cousin Kaylee, Kenzie and Clayton

 I love how Calvin looks in this picture!

 And then Clayton grumpy in this one.

 Oh, silly kids - Kenzie and Calvin.

 OK so that was our Brewers fun.  Late April we went to my Aunt Nancy and Uncle Fred's surprise anniversary party at my cousin Michelle and Chad's.  At the party there were three sets of boy twins.  Because I am weird I thought this was so cool.  I asked if we could get a picture of them together.  So i just had to share it because I just thought it was fun. 

Then Kenzie decided she was really a big girl and was staying dry at night so she said she was ready for her big girl bed.  Cam thought he should keep her company on her first night in her big bed.

Early May brought a trip up to the Cabin!!!  We had a great time as usual.

 Playing by the lake but a little to chilly to go in!

Kenzie, Lauren, Elsa and Calvin

 Andy and Cameron out for a little boat ride.

 Ben and I took all the kids out fishing in Grandpa Shorty's old boat.  This is getting more fun each time we go with them.  They are getting better at fishing and better at sitting still in the boat - ok they do not sit still ever but it seems to be getting easier.    Daddy chillin with his little boys.

 Cameron is the big man!

 Mommy and Kenzie.

 Clayton's catch of the day.

 Kenzie crashed - fishing was a bit exhausting for her.

 Calvin kissing his fishy.  - actually looks like he is gonna take a bite of it.

 Kiddo's hanging on the back of the truck!

Kenzie, Clayton, Elsa, Calvin, Lauren and Cameron

 Grandpa Gerald teaching the twins how to scale and clean fish.

 BFF's again - Calvin and Lauren walking down to the lake.

 All three of the partner groups walking to the lake.

Cameron and Clayton, Elsa and Kenzie, Lauren and Calvin

 Elsa and Kenzie - Ok so Elsa was running and Kenzie was trying to keep up with her and keep her pants from falling down.  So funny!

 Too cold to swim but had a blast making streams of water.

 At night it gets really crazy.  Cameron is playing some pool like the big guys!

 Ben is a walrus??

 Lauren is just funny!

 Grandpa getting crazy with all the crazy kids. 

 Calvin - They started playing drums on the pots and pans and then it was just Calvin. 

As you can see it just kept growing.  He did this for at least 30 mins. Each time adding on more pan then playing them and then adding another one and another chair so he could reach them. SO FUNNY. He was very serious about this and determined also.

Finally it was time to make these kids go to bed.  Great idea to put them all together for a movie. 

Kenzie, Clayton, Lauren and Calvin

So 5 mins later this was what it looked like.  All mine out like a light.  Lauren still awake watching the movie.  Check out where Kenzie ended up.  Clayton drapes his arm right over Lauren...

Back home after our trip up north it was time for some more haircuts. 

Clayton

Calvin

Rock star boys - Not to worry they were fake Mohawks.  Just their hair done up a little for fun!!!

More updates to come but time for bed tonight!!!
