Hayward and Spur of the Moment Ranch

A few weeks ago we went up to Hayward and met our good friends Scott, Alison and their 2 kids  - Morgan who is 9 and Luke who is 4. We had so much fun. The weather wasn't great, but we made the best of it.

Morgan and Em!

"Make a silly face!!!"

Kisses for Lukie!

Em and Luke's turn to make a silly face

Besties for life!!!!!

The kids at the big fish



Fishing.

We went downtown and each kid picked out a gift. Em got the flower head piece, Morgan got the panda, and Lukie got the knight get-up. Too funny!

Morgan caught a fish!

Boat ride
Ok - apparently I have no pictures of Kory and Scott but they were infact on the trip :) We celebrated Father's Day up there and the boys enjoyed a full day of ATVing and then a nice dinner made by all the wives. It was great to spend the time with not only my hubby but also my Dad.


Last weekend we got away for an adults weekend up at a ranch in Mountain, WI. We went with our good friends, and neighbors, Kathy & Andy. We all brought our ATV's and were soooo excited to finally have our weekend away.

The Cedar cabin!

Just beautiful up there!
 

This was out on the trails - it was gorgeous!
 
 
Riding!
Breathtaking
 
The view from our cabin - this was a place where a lot of people bring their horses to come ride. It's so pretty to wake up to horses each day!

Me and Cody :)

Love you guys!!!!

The cabin next door brought their dog - and she (Bella) just loved Kory!

ahhh the memories!
We had such a great time and are already hoping to plan a trip in September where we can bring all the kiddos. It's a great place to stay and would recommend it. Loved it!!!

Our beautiful girl had her last day of 4k! We are soooo incredibly proud Miss Em!!!
 
Last day of 4K

First day of 4K and last day of 4K
 
Gingerbread had a picnic for all the 4k graduates but it was cancelled due to rainy weather. I was so bummed!!! But they did send us these two videos. Kind of glad Em had a bring orange dress on - you can't miss her in the front row on the right.
 
 

Emily also had her last day at Gingerbread House. She has been there since she was potty trained (almost 2 1/2). This summer she's staying with our babysitter. Today was her first day and she loved it.

First day at GBH (2 1/2) and last day at GBH (5 1/2) - OMG!! She has grown up soooo much!
 
This past weekend we were busy watching my nieces. Had such a blast. Makes me so thankful to have all 3 of them here to spend time with.
 
On Saturday morning, Cori & Jeff rode the Trek 100 so we had the girls for the day.
 

3 of my favorite girls in the whole entire world!

I even did their nails - Em's & Mikaiya's finger nails and Braenna's toes

Then Casey and Mike had a wedding, so I had miss Audrey overnight from Saturday to Sunday. We had a great time with a baby in the house again. Em was such a great helper!!!
