Fly-in 2013

Mommy took me to the fly-in this past Saturday to see the airplanes and helicopters. I was very excited this year because I was determined to ride in an airplane. This first picture was in the big yellow airplane. It wasn't to ride in but it was pretty cool to look at.

Mommy got a picture of me in this helicopter right before they told us (and others) that we weren't supposed to be sitting in it. Oops!! 

Aaaand- me in the airplane! I was so excited- but I wasn't quite tall enough to see out the window! I still had a blast and hopefully can do it again next year!!

I'm a preschooler!!

 

 Well, Eli started preschool at the beginning of September. He was less than thrilled (if you can't tell from the pics), so we are still working on learning that it can be a fun thing. He's got 4 days under his belt, and 3 out of 4 were a cry-fest at drop off time. So this week we are trying it differently. We are stepping about 2 feet in the door- doing a quick kiss & hug and get out the door. This worked last week when I dropped him off on Thursday so cross your fingers that it works tomorrow!!

We got a half smile here!!

He knew 1 kid the first day and I think that was half the problem. This is his friend Heath from daycare. 1 other daycare kid transferred to his class so maybe that will help.

One smiling picture (after begging).  :)   Here's to hoping tomorrow is better!!!

Tyce turned 2!!

We had Tyce's 2nd birthday party at Grandma & Grandpa Emter's yesterday. Here's a few pics from our day.

This is my friend (Tyce's too), Kenzie. I go to daycare with her.

Well, I start preschool tomorrow- so I'm sure mommy will have some pictures of that to post at a later date! Hope everyone had a good Labor Day weekend!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

August 2013

A little Slip-N-Slide fun!!

One of our many weekends camping. We had lots of bubble fun this night- daddy mixed up dish soap and water & we had a blast!

I played with my friends Jaylei & Tanner Eisenbeis and Jewel Sailer.

It's not camping if you don't have a pile of dirt to sit in and drive your trucks in!

My first walleye! I was so excited to reel it in- but wouldn't hold it for the picture! Maybe next time!

 

June/ July 2013

From mommy: Wow, sorry for the lack of blogging! The summer is sneaking away from us so fast!! I'll try & get you a quick update!! We've been doing a lot of camping this summer as we finally have our own. It's been so nice to just leave the camper packed instead of unpacking every weekend we go out.  Eli's been playing out back a lot and of course at the lake! Here's a few pics:

I stole mommy's camera one day and snapped a few of myself. I took quite a few others too but I guess mommy didn't think they were good enough to post!

Me with Auntie Jena, Tyce and Masyn from the end of June.

Mommy & Tyce being silly!

And mommy and her 2 nephews!!
