Moving Day Once Again....

We have been busy packing this week for our moving day, once again, on Saturday!
~
~~
Carter found this box with the name "Austin" on it and thought it was the coolest box in the world!! He wants to keep it because he thinks of cousin Austin when he sees it! :-)
~
~~ Bradley had to get a picture with the cousin "Austin" box, too.

The boys started to get lost in all the boxes...

Until they found just the right size for them!! I didn't have anything to do with the duck tape on the boxes.....really!! :-)


Tonight we went over to our house for the final inspection. I took some pictures since it will be a long time before we get the house organized to take pictures again.

We are about a block from Lake Como. Lake Como is a smaller lake off of Lake Geneva. You can see the beach from our house. As we left tonight, Carter saw geese and little geeslings near the lake. :-)

The movers come at 8:30 Saturday morning, when we will make the move. We are moving about 5 miles from here, outside of town. We will be off-line for awhile until we get things set up at the new house. When we are back on-line I will let you know. I will also send you our new address via e-mail. Have a great weekend everyone!!

Earth Day

Where did the month go??? Seems so long ago now, but we celebrated earth day with a little planting. The boys did some planting of flowers and vegetables on Earth Day.








I have no idea what Bradley is doing......


This is a better one......


We have been busy "house hunting". Just when we thought we were staying another year in our complex, we found our home! We are moving next weekend on the 15th!! I will post pictures once we get moved.

Happy Easter

We had a nice time up north over Easter break. We spent Easter day at mom & dad's new house in Chippewa Falls with the Klimie cousins, Grandpa Ed, and Denny.
On Saturday, we were invited to the Klimie cousins house for some coloring of eggs for Easter. This was a fun experience for the kids, as well as the adults (& teenagers, too)!! Thanks for all the fun and to Uncle for taking the kids for a dip in the hot tub. It was such an exciting day that Bradley fell asleep on the way back to Grandma Deb's and didn't wake up until the next morning.

Chad was able to visit the Dorwin cousins and have supper at Grandma LaNita and Grandpa Bill's house.

Easter morning started out with the boys searching for eggs at Grandma Deb's house. Thanks to Abby for the pj's that the boys were wearing. After the hot tub swim the night before, the boys took a shower and slipped into some of Abby's comfy clothes for the way back.





Carter is counting the eggs, as they each had to find 15. Love those "roosters" in the morning!





The boys found their Easter basket hiding in Grandma Deb's coat closet.





After lunch on Easter....





The Klimie cousins hid eggs for the boys to find around the house. They had fun looking for all of them.


Abby & Bradley...

Andrew, Carter & Bradley. Grandpa Ed and Denny in the 4-seasons porch, or the "sun room".



Grandpa Ken & Grandma Deb....




A picture with the "Grandpa's". Abby, Bradley, Grandpa Ken, Grandpa Ed and Carter....



Bradley was watching Abby, so carefully, cut the "bunny" cake. He couldn't wait to try some!








Time for the group pictures....

Bradley carried his "Star Wars" DVD around all day.






Grandpa Ken caught the "Easter bunny" that morning. The boys were amazed at the rabbit in the cage!!




Carter loved it, of course!!



Happy Easter everyone!

Thanks Klimie's, Grandma & Grandpa, Grandpa Ed, and Denny for all the fun!! It was great to see everyone! We miss you and love you lots!!
