Levi's Movin' On Up Ceremony

It's hard to believe that Levi has finished elementary school and is moving on to middle school. This week they had a 'Movin' On Up' ceremony for all the kids that have finished 5th grade. Below is a short video and a few pics from the ceremony. And yes, the picture with me it is not one of my best, but everyone else looks good so I added it to the post.

Soccer 2012

Below is a slideshow of pics from Josiah's final soccer game of the season.  You'll also find links to two videos. 

Soccer is a strange sport in Wisconsin.  In the 6 week season we went from wearing winter coats and covering ourselves with blankets, to wearing shorts and t-shirts and dumping water on the players heads to keep them cool.

Chris' 34th Birthday

As a family we believe that birthdays are to be celebrated for at least a weekend, and sometimes an entire week.  I had a great end to my birthday week (trip to Green Bay was the start of birthday week) with a birthday pinata and homemade calzones.  Below are pics and a video of the birthday celebration.

Spring Break 2012

We spent two days of Spring Break in Green Bay.  We spent time in the hotel's water park and we went on a stadium tour of Lambeau Field and went through the Packers Hall of Fame.  The stadium tour and Hall of Fame were great.  We had about 15 people in our tour group.  States represented in our group were Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, and Missouri.  Below are pictures of our trip.

Cabin Vacation 2011

Below are pics and videos from our cabin vacation. The pics of baseball are really a game that we came up with last year: 'Marshmallow Ball'. You take giant marshmallows and use them like a baseball.

95 Degrees (Heat Index 109)

When it's 95 degrees, with a heat index of 109, it's a great day to run through the sprinklers. It's hard to believe that in six months the temperature will be 100 degrees colder. Pics and video below.
