Prarie Rose Lake

It was a good evening to head out to the beach at the lake and play. We went a little crazy on the sand castles this time, but it was lots of fun.




Family photo in the water... didn't even drop the camera in!


SISTERS!! :)


Abigail was content for a long time right here. She said she was making her own sand castle.

Hawaii Dresses

The girls were sooooo excited to wear their dresses from Hawaii to church this morning. They looked so adorable I couldn't resist taking pictures! :)

Swimming with Friends

They're sort of smiling and looking. It was sunny!
From L to R: Brock (3), Abigail (2), Audrey (4), Faith (7).

And then Chase (10 mos.) had his own pool. I think he had the most fun of everyone.

Tea Party Anyone?

Audrey: Mommy, Wanna have a tea party?

Me: Sure

A: Okay, I'll set it up.

A: Ew, what's that smell?

Me: (Listed off several things she might be smelling??)

A: No... I think it's coming from the tea set.

Me: EWWWWWW!!!! Let's wash those!

Tea party postponed until a later date!

Summer Smiles

Then on to Mason City

We played outside A LOT because the weather was BEAUTIFUL. Grandma found lots of toys in the basement for the girls to play with. Uncle David assembled this one. It's Disney's Magic Kingdom with Weebles.

And then David played Barbies with Audrey.

Wagon rides with Aunt Kristina.

GARBC Conference

We thought it rather ironic that our hotel room colors were the same as Nathan & Kristen's wedding: Green and chocolate brown! :)




Here is one of the evening sessions in Chicago at the GARBC Conf.


Here is Aaron with Pastor Ted Ertle, who was the interim pastor in Walnut before we came.

Vacation in Chicago

Here's the view from the 103rd floor of the Willis Tower (a.k.a. Sears Tower).






They have plexiglass boxes you can stand out on.


They don't seem real safe but I'm sure they are. We made it out alive anyhow.

June 19, 2010

Congrats to Nathan & Kristen on a beautiful wedding day!


(Edric wore blue socks! Gasp!)

Bubbles

These pics are from June 15th, before we left on our vacation. The weather was just perfect that night to have fun with bubbles. And a good time was had by all!
