Fun with Paint

Sarah Grace started it all by painting herself with sidewalk paint. Well, Mommy decided it was ok for everyone to get messy...her included!!





Wow, that was lots of fun! All the girls got a bath that night.

Vacation Bible School

Our church does VBS (Vacation Bible School) every summer and the kids have a blast. It is great watching them dance, sing, and do activities related to how awesome God is in their lives.

This year we did Babobab Blast. It was a blast :) Here are our three at the front of the church with the different animals they met in the Babobab tree.

Packer Family Day

We took Caroline and Julia to the Packer Family Day at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. They had been wanting to go to see the "Go Packers" (as they call them) play. Because they can never make it through an entire game, we thought this would be perfect. And the tickets were only $10 each!!

They have fun family activities all day and then the team plays a scrimmage against themselves. The night ends with fireworks.

This was cool because you go to try and jump up and do the Lambeau Leap. It is higher and harder than it looks!!
Been Bag toss before we went into the stadium.

I keep remembering back to the first time Grandpa Jim saw Caroline in the hospital as a little baby. He had his denim Green Bay Packer shirt on. These girls were destined to be Packer fans!!
We got the posters and pom-poms before we got in the stadium. The side Julia is holding says "Use your Outside Voices".

One of the best parts was watching the fireworks around the stadium to music. It was a great way to send a fun day. We will be back next year...possibly with Sarah Grace. Thanks Grandma Weber for watching Sarah so we could enjoy our time with the big girls.

Julia's Birthday

We had a family lunch at our house before Julia had her "friend" party at the Y. She got lots of cool gifts!! Mom and Dad even made the cakes!

We played in the rec room, went swimming and had cake. It was an awesome birthday party.




Happy 7th Birthday Julia!!

We love you lots.
