Summer Time

BOATING

We have been trying to get out on the boat more and more but with so many things going on this summer we have only gone out a few times. A few weekends ago we headed out on the lake for the afternoon! Just the 3 of us. It was very nice and relaxing! A couple weekends ago my Dad and Mom came and picked Gavin up to take him to the cottage for an extended weekend! Dave and I had a Wedding that weekend but we also got to spend the weekend alone together, which was really nice! We had a date night on Thursday and then Friday we headed up to Neenah. We had dinner on Friday with Jen and Brandon! Saturday was Katie and Jake's Wedding! She was so beautiful and their wedding was so much fun!This past Friday evening we went out for dinner to celebrate Chris's Birthday! Here are the kids with their sundaes!This weekend we had high hopes of getting a good chunk of our patio done, but that wasn't the case! We had a birthday party on Saturday afternoon so we only got to spend a few hours working on the patio and on Sunday we spent the afternoon working on it until we had to go to church!

Although I know we did get a lot done, laying brick by brick by brick is so so so time consuming! I am really hoping that we can get this patio done before Labor Day Weekend! ha.

p.s. - This is probably going to be a recurring thing for me where I only do one bigger post rather than smaller posts a few times a week! At least until Summer is over :) We only have 3 weddings in August!! Ah....

Our 4th of July Weekend!

Our 4th of July weekend was wonderful, eventful, and relaxing!

Friday afternoon we headed to Sun Prairie Aquatic Center! Mom VV, Kristin and the kids went too. Friday evening we had the neighbors over for a bonfire to play a few games of testicle toss/ladder toss, whichever you prefer :)

Saturday we went out of the Boat with Mom and Dad VV! Our neighbors also brought their boat out with their parents! It was a fun afternoon! We got way too much sun though! Saturday evening we watched Rhythm & Booms Firworks and then called it a night!

Sunday Morning we went to Deforest Parade with a bunch of friends! It was such a good parade! They gave out such fun stuff for kids! Besides candy they gave out pencils, erasers, key chains, cookies, passes to area events, etc... We will definately go back next year! This tractor spit candy out of it!After the parade we went over to a friends house for lunch! We then had church that evening. After church we went out for ice cream and then to the Deforest Fireworks! Gavin and Beckam loved it! They kept saying, 'Happy Birthday, America!' It was a great 4th of July! On Monday our neighbor, Chef Sean, smoked ribs for us for dinner! They were the best ribs I have ever had! So that evening we had a few people over for dinner! That was the gist of our 4th of July weekend in a nutshell :) Hope everyone had a great 4th!
