wild busy week

Over the past week our family has been real busy.  Between redoing our front lawn, to spending time with family and friends, to finishing up the year, and starting new adventures... we have been enjoying every moment!

Last Friday the kids and I had a PACKED day.  we started with the previously posted trip to the park.  We then ventured to the Splash Pad with the Schilens gang.  The gang is always a riot and the kids had an awesome time!  Gabi is definitely a water baby, not minding the cold water at all.  Will went right in and really love the splash pad this time.  Isa was a little more cautious, but she finally warmed up and had tons of fun!
 
Thought this pic of Isa coming down the slide was HILARIOUS!

 Friday night we met up with The Vincents for a little picnic at the park by the lake!  It turned out to be a little chillier than we thought, but the kids all had some bubble and sand fun anyway!  We then headed over to check out the new colors in their pad.  fun times like always!
 
 
Saturday we participated with Luminary help for the Relay for Life.  Gramma is the Luminary Head Honcho, and all the kids and grandkiddos helped setting up and lighting luminaries.  One of the highlights for us was Will's performance.  Will's performance?  Yep... they were holding a talent contest, and Will decided he wanted to compete.  Who would have thought?  He actually went ON STAGE and sang!
                              
 
 
 
  Over the week, we have all had our share of Jona.  The kids love him and it sure has been so nice having his help with the yard.... we are SO close to finishing! 
 I LOVE this pic... Uncle Jona gave Isa pigtails and she was SOO proud of them!




 This past Saturday our day was busy, busy busy!  Tobin got called in for an unexpected day at work, so unfortunately he wasn't there for all the excitement.
Will and Isa had their 1st Tot-Ball game.  I LOVED IT!  There were about 5 staff members/coaches per team.  It was a laid back, fun atmosphere and none of the crazy competitiveness!   Both kids were a little scared at first, but eventually warmed up and played real nice!
 

 Right after tot-ball Will and Isa had their Little Gym final class show.  Bapa, Gramma, Paul, Kateri, and Chloe were all there to cheer them on (even through their audience jitters).  They ended up doing great, and we are so proud of how far they have come!
 
 
 
Sunday we shared in a great day celebrating Carly Schilens' 1st birthday! We feel blessed to have this friendship!  Happy Birthday Carly!
