WI trip!




Sorry I missed an entry last month, but we've been busy. We had a wonderful trip back to WI. Unfortunately both our flights were changed to red eye flights which isn't much fun with small children, but we survived. The boys loved having family to play with and stayed real busy. Here are a few higthlights of the trip:

Liza Zimmerman had a beautiful wedding and reception at Quivey's Grove. Ken got to visit with cousins he hasn't seen in years!

The boys had fun at Gramma Bonnie's feeding worms to the fish in the lake and riding on the bouncy horse (especially Kyle, see videos). Bryson loved all the rides at Bay Beach and Kyle was able to go on some too with Skye! Bryson had fun swimming in the pool at Skye and Vincents with Gramma. The boys had fun taking a Kayak ride at the cottage and Bryson had fun in the hammock too. We had a nice dinner for my parents 40th wedding anniversary, but had to leave early because Bryson was getting difficult. My mom watched the boys for us overnight and Ken and I went to Manitowoc for a night for Ken's birthday. We made a birthday cake before we left and Bryson had fun singing happy birthday.

At gramma Mara's the boys got to play with John's old trucks. Bryson loved going for a ride in the boat and liked to go "fast". They got to chase chickens at Ernie and Debbie's. Ken had some friends over for a cookout and we all went to the Union to watch some music afterward while Mara and John watched the boys. Bryson got to go for a ride on the tractor with John and picked raspberries (he didn't seem to enjoy that too much).

Things are starting to get back to normal now that we're home. The boys are in a new daycare (it's less than half the price of our last place) and they seem to like it, they didn't even cry when I dropped them off on the first day. Kyle is more intersted in walking and he'll walk while holding your hands and he can stand for a while without holding on. He said his first word: ball or 'ba". He sure is a little cutie pie!

Bryson has been very well behaved over the last few days and seems to be talking a little better. He is singing more to himself and even answered the phone the other day. His favorite movies are Toy Story and Monsters Inc. We finally bought a sandbox to keep them out of the garden and Bryson really loves it, he'll play in there by himself for quite a while.

I'm still working part time and Ken's still enjoying his new job. We still have many projects to complete around the house, it takes so long to get things done when you have two kids! I put more movies on our video site, so check it out!
