A long overdue update...

Right now, where to start on what's going on in our home....

1. Memorial day Weekend we went to Minnesota to spend some "quality time" with my family and we had a BLAST! We took the girls fishing and they loved it! Grandma nd Grandpa SHogren were right there when BOTH girls caught their FIRST FISH! My sister and her hubby took the girls for a night so we could celebrate our 7th anniversary...we putt-putted and go-karted...FUN! Sunday we spent some time with Phil, Heather nad Zaka nd the boys did more fishing! Who would have ever thunk TIm would become so outdoorsy???? Monday we came home and Maddie thew up in the van, but it all landed mostly on her and her blanket and not on the van itself! HOORAY!

2. VBS #1 has come and gone...the girls attended VBS with grandma nad Grandpa Stout at their church in Altoona. The theme was "Set Sail" and the girls loved it!

3. We attended Kylie's dedication 2 weeks agoa nd we had a great time with Dan, Amy, Mom and Papa Stout and Amy's parents...we went to service where they did a small dedicationa nd then we all went to the Machine Shed for dinner..YUMMY!

4. Father's Day we spent the morning sleeping ina nd had a family bruncha nd then we headed out to First Federated Church for a car show! The girls played in the bounce house nad then we ate (sno cones, hot dogs, & funnel cake) and looked at a bunch of cars: Corvette, Corvette StingRay, Dodge Viper, etc... The rest of the day we vegged at home nad then we went to Granny's for ice cream and our weekly trip out to the ranch to see the horses! We love it there. The girls got to pet a paint horse named cricket. The owner stopped by and we chatted for a while and he mentioned that everyone out there knows us by our vana nd they all think it's so neat that we take our girls there all of the time. However, the downside is that the girls WANT their OWN horses!

5. Tim's Grandma, Grandma Bonnet, is here from Montana. She is 92 and a HOOT! My girls love her and she lOVEs watching them play! She is a akiller at Triominos and her and Mom Stout are playing tons of Scrabble of which I TRY to stay away from b/c they KILL ME almost every game!

6. THis week is low key...Maddie's b-day is Friday and we are having a Cowgirl Themed party! Next week is VBS at Grace (HOOOOORAY!!!!) and Linser/Stewart wedding that I am decorating the rehearsal dinner for them. FUN!

THAt's it for now....pictures to follow soon!
