The New Zoo
Jason had a bachelor party one Saturday night so the kids and I let him sleep in on Sunday while we headed to the New Zoo.

4th of July
This 4th of July our princess Avery was sick. So while she and Carter hung out with Mema and Papa, Daddy and I went out on the boat with Mitch and Erin. We spent most of the time out in the middle of Lake Shawano on a sand bar along with a ton of other boats. We played football, paddleball and just hung out. It was gorgeous! We all took turns tubing also. Although with my fear of deep water they were nice enough not to go too fast (10-15 mph!!! haha!!!).

Sunset Beach
My FAVORITE hot summer day spot in the area has to be Sunset Beach in Kimberly! It's a man-made pond with a sandy beach. The water is always so clean and we have so much fun playing in the sand and water! Here's just a few pics of the kiddies.

Pamperin Park and Green Bay Botanical Gardens
I was lucky enough to be able to go on Avery's last kindergarten field trip to Pamperin Park and Green Bay Botanical Gardens a few weeks ago. We had so much fun! Avery has such a nice classs! So well behaved! I only had to take 4 asprins afterwards instead of 6! haha! No, we really had a great time! First we stopped at Pamperin Park for lunch and to let the kids play on their awesome playground. Then off to the Botanical Gardens! It was just beautiful and really got me in the mood to plant this year! Here's some of my favorite pics....

Happy "Belated" Birthdays Avery and Carter!
I've been such a slacker lately with taking pictures and loading them onto our blog!!! Here's a few pics from Avery and Carter's birthday week. Carter turned 2 on May 3rd and Avery turned 6 on May 8th! I can't believe how fast time flies! It seems like just yesterday that Avery was born and our lives changed forever! This year Jason and I bought them a sand box and other smaller things for their birthdays. I need to get some pictures of them actually playing in it though! Nana and Papa got them new sand toys and they have an absolute blast digging and building sand castles! We had our families over for a joint party this year again and had a chilly day for it. So once again we were stuck in the house!
Once again Mema and Papa outdid themselves! This year the kids got a Playhouse! It's the most adorable thing I have ever seen! I need to get more pictures of that too! Here's just a few from right after they got it
