Pirate Festival

Milwaukee has a festival for everything!!! Pirate festival is one of the many and the one that we actually took our camera to. It was fun to see all the people dressed up as pirates both entertainers and people who just showed up. We wish we would have dressed up Tom in his Pirate outfit, but o well. In the pictures are our friends; Nick, Christina, and Camille (with the eye patch) Harker, and Emily and Aden Tate. It was a fun time.

We also made it to the Strawberry festival one of our favorites but no pictures but we love the chocolate covered strawberry's and the strawberry sprechers soda YUMMY!!! 

SKY

Our family has a new hobby, well Sky does but we get to be a part of it. Sky loves to fly remote controlled air planes and has done so for a long time, but recently picked the hobby back up. We spend Saturdays and some week days at the field watching him fly. The kids love it, Tom can't get close enough to the controller and wants to fly just like his dad.

Thanks Mom!!!!!

  


I can only pray that I can be as good as mother as Schuyler and I have had. We love you!!!!!

good ole' days...

Macie and I were looking through all of our photos and we ran across this one. I love the look on her face, I wish I could know what she was thinking at that moment. I can't believe how small Thomas was. No I didn't let him cry very long...

A few of the kids...

This was the last time all of the kids got together to play before they moved it was a blast and they are all so cute!!!

The many faces of Thomas...all within 15 minutes, love this kid!!!!

What can I say...

Last night Macie was talking to an ant that had made it's new home in our main floor bathroom. I was trying to get her to hurry up and get off to bed. I thought she was scared of it so I took a napkin smashed it and threw it away. Next I look at Macie and she was crying gigantic tears. the following conversation went like this;

"Macie what is wrong?"

"First Daxton moved, then Emma, and now my friend is dead"

Apparently the ant was making up for recent loss of friends it broke my heart and I just hugged her. It is interesting how children handle change. She is a good sport. I sure love her.
