Mmmmm Good!

Mooooooooooo

I don't know why I think this is funny but for some odd reason I get a kick out of it. This is one of my sister in-laws cows they have. They had a bunch of calves this year so they asked me to come out and take some pics of the little ones.

Thunderslam!

Darcy and I have always wanted to go see Monster Jam but it has never worked out to go when the shows are. Well a few weeks ago I saw an ad saying monster trucks were coming to our home town dirt track. What a perfect opportunity to go and see what the boys would think of the whole thing. The show was pretty good, I was expecting a lot more out of the trucks but I do have to give the guys credit, there was a lot of new drivers that are working really hard to give a good show. They also had some motorcross bikes there, I personally think that was the best part of the show, those guys are NUTS!!!!

Lady Slipper

Tonight Darcys uncle Steve called and asked if I wanted to go take some pictures. We went and found these lady slippers. This is probably the best shot I got of the night, I was hoping they would have turned out a little better but at least we had a good time. I mean its not weird at all for two guys to be taking pictures of flowers together is it? Lol.

Dandelion

When these things are not in my yard I really enjoy taking pictures of them :o)

Oreo Snowdrift

Hmmmm so good!

Campfire

Ahhh the campfire!

Macro

Oh Here We Go...

Like I said in an earlier post… look out world here comes Keaton, man this kid loves to ride his bike without those training wheels.

Soccer

Our little jock. Keaton has been begging to play soccer for almost a year now. These shots were on the first night and that kid was an animal. He got out there and got the ball and made 4 goals, he was on fire. The second night he pretty much stood around. I asked him what the deal was after he was done and he said “he was tired and running was a lot of work, and that he didn’t want to play anymore” so we had a long discussion about quitting and being lazy. He is actually really enjoying now and is doing pretty good. Cam even decided to join, I will get some pics up of him here soon as well.

Some Flowers

No idea what kind they are but they are pretty :)

Ah serenity

This is one of the views we have while laying on the beach looking up in the sky. Even without seeing the lake or the beach it makes me relax and think of this place just seeing this tree!

Summer Fun

What a fun weekend. On Sunday we got a chance to visit with Darcys cousins from Texas and their kids at Donna & Dales in Miltona. Even though the water temp was only 66 degrees the kids were not shy at all. Now come December (when it is -50 here) I think we need to go down and visit them in TX. The kids really enjoyed each other.

Warning: Anyone who loves peeps ignore this post!

I am so sorry peeps (I love peeps) As many of you know Darcy highly DISLIKE peeps! While we were out camping last weekend Darcys sister (another Peep hater) found a new use for peeps. Her kids like to roast them over the campfire (they were pretty good). We did have a rather fun time watching the poor little peeps meet their demise. Sick I know but fun!

2010 Salem 36BHBS

Our New House on Wheels…

Well we finally took the plunge and bought a new camper. We did a ton of research and a ton of window shopping. We finally purchased a 2010 Salem 36BHBS, it was delivered last Friday afternoon. Thanks to Dennis with the tractor we were able to get the camper to slide into place pretty easily. With the boys being in Wisconsin for the weekend with grandma and grandpa it gave Darcy and I the perfect opportunity to get it all setup and to be able to put things where they are suppose to go. We can not believe the amount of space difference from the last one to this one. It will be fun to get the whole family out there next weekend.

We are in trouble…

Keaton asked a few days ago for me to take his training wheels off his bike. We tried it a few times and it went “ok” Well tonight I was completely unprepared and did not have a camera in hand. He asked to try his bike tonight and he was off. Ten seconds later he looks at me and says “lets race!” There is not chance we are going to be able to keep up to him. He is pretty proud of himself.

A Windy Day on Mille Lacs...

Burrrrrrr!

These boys are much braver than I. They hopped into the pool this weekend...when our themometer only said 58 degrees.
