Dad and his little bud.

Glenhills Camping 2009

Setting up our home away from home for the weekend.

Sierra trying to take Boomer for a walk.


Sierra is a little daredevil. She loved to hang,

even after she fell the 5 feet when she let go.

Nothing better than a camping weekend with

Gramy and Grampy even if it was a little cold.

Life is good for the girls when we camp ~

endless playing and endless snacks.

Drumsticks and campfire time after naps.

Karlee and Sierra sure do love their Daddy!

Last day Uncle Larry came down and camped

with us and to eat smores.

The last night we joined the crew in the camper at 12:30am

since a lighening storm was going through and we didn't think

the tent under trees was the safest place to be.

Up North July 2009

We spent a morning at Amnicon State Park hiking

and picnicing. It is a beautiful park with 2 falls.

We think we have a great life with our two girls!

Todd wanted to feed the seagulls - Sierra wanted to chase them.

Last morning - had to just get a little more beach time in.

We even brought some home with us that was scrubbed out

in the tub later that night.

Cabin relaxation - nothing like it!

Govin's Strawberry Patch

Sierra and Karlee really enjoyed their first trip

to a strawberry patch. Sierra ate everyone she picked

and Karlee wanted to fill her carton.

16 lbs were picked and hard to say how

many were eaten.

Freezer jam and some containers for ice cream

sundaes were made to enjoy this winter.

Visit by Grampy and Grammy Groat

Welcome to Wisconsin Grampy and Grammy!

Let's go sit by the firepit and make smores.

Plus there was bean bag playing and ice cream eating.

We all went into Clear Lake Days for the parade...

wait I mean rides. Guess what the girls liked the best.

Grammy made the girls beautiful dresses for church.

Fun snuggling with Grampy and reading a book with Grammy.
