Memorial Day Weekend Continued

On Monday afternoon we went to Appleton to have a bbq with the Reichles. It was a very relaxing afternoon - the kids played, the guys grilled and we just had a nice afternoon.

Memorial Day Weekend

Gabie tried to venture across the monkey bars - I snapped this picture and then went to help her - she wants to be able to do everything just like her big sister.

Eliya can make it all the way across on her own.

Rachel is a great kicker!

Bubbles!

Playing frisbee with daddy

We went to the same park in Stevens Point that we had ventured to 3 years ago when Rachel was about Micaiah's age. We had met the Weidners there when we came on vacation to WI in June of 2007. We had a picnic and played all kinds of games before heading home again.

I thought Micaiah was so cute in her little polka-dot outfit and got a few different faces she was making - she is such a cutie!

Lot's of Snuggle Time

thinking....thinking....

snuggling with daddy

morning snuggles

Today was donuts for dad in Kindergarten (since they aren't still in school around Father's Day). Mark didn't have the camera with him but it was still a fun program for them to enjoy together.

Circus!

Gabie all ready for her last day of preschool.

Getting some snuggles with Micaiah.

In her costume.

The kids all handed out popcorn, circus peanuts (the candy ones) and cotton candy - it was so cute!

Gabie's whole class all decked out under the big top.

Her sisters watching her show.

Gabie's act was to, as she put it, 'walk the boards'. She was like a tight rope walked - and even did one time across blindfolded! She did a great job!

Our little circus star!

Swiss Family Robinson

It was a beautiful afternoon and Nana told Gabie the story of Swiss Family Robinson because our tree in the front yard reminded her of the story - Gabie was facinated with the idea that a family built a house in a tree to live in.

Micaiah loves to be snuggled and warm but she also loved her bath with the warm water, she didn't get upset till I took her out.

Happy again once she was snuggled in her towel.

look at my curls!

Rachie and Micaiah bonding after bathtime.

Gabie decided she wanted to try things without the training wheels.

Tinker decided it is exhausting having a new baby in the house.
