St. Croix County Fair!

We went to the St. Croix County Fair this summer and got to see Grace and Lucy's fair exhibits, and so many cute animals!
Leyton was excited to see that he was a part of Grace's photography entries! There's a photo of him and Lauren together and one of him in the plaid shirt on the bottom left that she got a blue ribbon on!
 Cal loves this chicken that Grace entered:



Sports, sports, sports

Leyton LOVES soccer.  It may have taken over hockey as his favorite sport.  He is already asking 
when Spring soccer starts.  He also loves football though, so it was a hard decision for him when he had to choose between the two for a fall sport.  He played summer soccer though, so we went with football in the fall.  
Fiona was a trooper, cheering on her brother every Saturday morning!


This photo isn't great, but Leyton is in red, about to take the hike playing quarterback:

4th of July 2015

We had a great fourth of July, celebrating at Jessie & Dan's new cabin.  We went up there a few more times throughout the summer and the kids always have so much fun there.  They especially like fishing, water-skiing, and sleeping in their own bunk bed room with their cousins! Here are some photos from July 4th weekend!

 Fiona and Evelyn love playing along the shore:
 Aunt Kelly and Fiona:
 Some pretty cool boys!
 Fiona loves boat rides, but also loves sleeping on them... Her and Evie fell asleep multiple times :)


 Tired out from the sun & fun!
 Best.Buddies.
 Happy 1st Birthday Teddy! A July 4th baby!
 Kelly, Lucy and I had fun tubing:
 Fiona and Jessie & Dan's new puppy, Rosie!  Fiona loves her.
 Evelyn and Fiona, hanging out on the tube on the shore:
Water-ski kids!  We decided this was the summer to teach them.  They did great and were so determined!  They never even minded getting drug under the water multiple times!
 Another boat nap for Fi:
 Cal found a baby turtle and could not have been more excited:

 Fiona loves little critters, just like her brothers.
 Grandma, Ev & Fi.  These two love their grandma, and are pretty much inseperable.
 Fiona also unfortunately loves coffee... here she is stealing grandmas.  I remember I used to do the same thing when I was little with my Grandma Flo's coffee!
 Hanging with Grace!  She is growing up so fast!

Fawn-Doe-Rosa

 We visited Fawn-Doe-Rosa a couple times this summer and the kids absolutely loved it.  It is so great how they can walk right up to the deer, considering how much all of my kids love deer and they have so many other neat animals there.  The second time we went the Weimert's came too, which made it extra fun! :)



Fiona loved feeding the animals:


Everyone loved the friendly goats:




Evelyn and Fiona wanted to take a baby pig home!
The baby bunnies were pretty adorable too:
