Karis on the 4th

We didn't participate in the parade this year, but Karis got to watch the parade. Even though most of the kids in the neighborhood are in the parade, they still like to throw candy. She came home with quite a handful of sweets. We let her try a sucker, wow was that a sticky mess?

Catch up

And so, I begin the daunting task up updating my blog posts. I'm so far behind, I'm not really sure where to being. I guess date-order would be good. Here I begin with some more pictures of our Milwaukee trip with the Rowles.


Here we are in the same park as the "Jazz in the Park" night watching a chef cook-off. The food looked really great. It definitely made for great advertisement for each restaurant that was represented.




The food at the public market was so wonderful, we easily went for a dinner in the condo versus going out to eat at a restaurant.


Here are some various buildings and structures from Milwaukee. I couldn't tell you what they are, I just thought they were neat.





One of our last activities was renting Segways. We rode them all along the waterfront. It was one of my favorite things we did on the trip.

Trip to Milwaukee with the Rowles...WI that is

Here are a few pictures of our trip to Milwaukee, WI with Layth and Betsy. More to come...

Sit n' Spin

A new discovery

Ooooo, a new place I can stick my finger!!

Memorial Day Camping

Memorial day weekend we went to South Beach State Park. Karis and Vance were both feeling a bit under the weather, so there wasn't too much excitement that weekend. Here are a few pictures of Karis playing with her riding toy and playing at the park at the campground.
















And yes, she did climb up the slide all by herself!!

I've been threatened...so I must post or die

So, I just received this threatening e-mail from my sister Kara, stating that I better get my blog updated or she is going to go crazy. Well, since I know we don't have a family history of mental illness, I'm sure she will be just fine, but since Karis is napping and I'm avoiding prepping of the laundry room for a new paint job, here I am getting the blog updated.

I have to say, It was driving me crazy too. I usually go to my own blog first, then start browsing around at others. It does make me sick when I see an old post from over a month ago. I will feel much better when I get things updated. Oh so much to do and so little time (nap time that is), to get things done.
