As if he didn't have enough sugar this weekend??!!

Singing songs on the hayride

Katelynn and Drew were partners in the skipping game

The kids were always on the search for the kitties

The Annual Schwantz Bash

We headed to Craig's Aunt and Uncles on saturday to spend the day with the Schwantz's. It was a fun day full of games, food, hayride, and campfire! The cousins all had a great time and it was a beautiful night for a campfire! We had another late night but the kids have been sleeping in a little.

Friday Night Lights

We had a super fun night at the Redhawks friday night. The whole family was there for all 9 innings and we had a blast. The kids were dancing to all the songs, the RH went ahead in the bottom of the 8th and won! We all stayed for fireworks and the kids really liked them!

We all know how stubborn Austin is, right?

Whenever we grill we eat outide...we grilled hotdogs tonight, but it started to rain. Austin insisted on eating outside. Instead of listening to a tantrum during supper I decided to let him go outside thinking he would come in within minutes. He proceeded to eat his whole hotdog outside, in the rain, his plate completely wet!! He did come in for some chips....now that's stubborn!

( Mom danced the night away with Rach and I...Dad even got out there a bit too!) (Austin and Tyden know how to groove, Austin pulled out some breakdancing moves. They were in the center of everyone dancing. Austin can teach you the chicken dance it you don't know it)

(so sweet)

(the crazy dancer didn't have a nap so the dancing was short lived with her....too tired)

(Rachel came over to curl Katelynn's hair!)

Bobbie Jo and Derek's wedding day!! YAY! We had so much fun at my cousin's wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony and the dance was great! We danced the night away! Connie and Steve picked the kids up after awhile so we could stay later! I felt old when my legs and feet hurt so bad from dancing! yikes!

We had a big day full of wedding fun! We started out the day flower girl dress shopping for Katelynn for Lindsay's wedding (Craig's cousin). She was super shy at first as you can see and then realized how much fun it was to try on beautiful dresses! We found the perfect dress and I must say it's adorable! :) She has tried it on multiple times for different people and we have a hard time getting it off of her!

Austin's first pontoon ride (since he was a newborn!!) Austin refused to go on the boat everytime we asked...this time we were all going to leave without him so he decided to come and I think he liked it! He got to drive the pontoon with Gpa Steve.

We went to the lake last night and spent the day there today...warmest day of the summer so far so it was a good place to be! Katelynn had been there since Monday with Noah and Drew. Sounds like they had a great time at the lake.

Katelynn's highlights were the swimming hole and making a "cherry" pie with Gpa!

Can't believe my sweet boy is 2! What a special day!

What a crew!

Some got brave enough to do the pool and slip n slide!

The cutest ball player I've ever seen! (Ella)

The "dugout" where Papa told everyone to wait and cheer until their turn to bat!

A fun t-ball game in the back yard. Gpa Bucky was running the show and the kids were so fun to watch!

Batman and Batgirl!

Fun batman cake that mommy made!

new batting helmet! :)

Austin's 2nd Bday...so much fun!! The weather wasn't great, but it didn't rain. Austin had a super fun day!!

Too Cute......chattin' about the game.

"Stay-cation"

Since my husband thinks it's too expensive to do any fun summer weekend trips of any sort....we have had a lot of "Staycations" as they call it!!

This weekend we ran errarnds, went to lunch at the new Mexican Village, went to a movie with mom, had ribs on the grill (here you see the kids having PB and J instead!), went to church, and watched Gma Cella and Gma Penny make Bobbie Jo's wedding cake (kransekakke!) Craig had to stay updated by phone for the Pelican baseball scores in the state tourney!

See Craig, I can still find ways to spend money even if we are home! :)
