John, Jen and The Boys Visit!

John, Jen, Max and Ethan all came to visit us here in Wisconsin for a few days!  They drove all the way from NY!  It was so nice to see them and get to spend some quality time together.  The kids had a lot of fun together and played and played and played!  We went to a Mallards game, downtown Madison, several parks, the zoo, and Ella's Deli.  I think everyone kept pretty busy!  

Max looking oh so cute driving around the car

Aren't they cute?  Got them all together for a picture at the zoo!

Dane County Fair

We took a family trip to the Dane County Fair this July!  The kids had a really nice time. Mikaiya got really into the animals this year...and wow were there a LOT of cows, we are in Wisconsin after all!!  She really enjoyed looking at all of the cows and horses...Braenna did not enjoy it nearly as much, she thought they were stinky and a little scary!

 They had a great time on rides this year too.  These swings went a little higher and faster than Braenna was ready for, but she said she had fun!

Braenna chose this bench instead of the pretty horses on the carousel, I think she felt safer this way!

One of my favorites of Mikaiya, she was so proud of her pretty horse!

Overall we had a great time!  We even got to catch a little bit of the band in the evening and the girls did not want to leave.  Fun family times!

Hayward Vacation 2012

We took our annual 4th of July vacation to Hayward again this year.  It is fun to watch how much more the kids enjoy the lake every year!  This year we had absolutely beautiful (but HOT) weather.  There was lots of time spent in the water!  Everyone really seemed to enjoy themselves, as always!

Here are some of the pictures from the trip:

Swimming through the lily pads

Braenna holding on to Aunt Teresa for dear life!  She didn't like the water that much yet.

I love this one of Braenna and Emily just having a blast...the smiles are priceless!

The three girls...so cute!

Braenna finally took to the water and was having a blast by the last day!

Hayward with the Fullerton's

This year we took a nice 3 day weekend to head up to the lake with the Katie (my old roomie), Bruce and the kids.  We had a lot of fun and the kids had a blast playing together!  Tubing was a hit for everyone this year!  The kids in general just had fun playing with each other, which was great because it gave us adults some time to catch up!  Here are some pictures from the weekend:



Braenna and Jenna tubing

Mikaiya and Andrew tubing...she kept asking to go faster and faster!

These two were having a great time together!

Braenna's Birthday Day and Father's Day

We celebrated Braenna's birthday early this year, so there are not a lot of pics from the actual day.  Jeff was out of town, so we celebrated as a family a day later.  Here she is on her birthday enjoying her birthday popsicle:

We opened presents when Daddy got home and this was her favorite...a two wheel scooter!  She has to be just like her big sister and wanted nothing to do with the three wheeled scooter she had gotten as a hand me down.

After presents we went out to dinner at Red Robin (she picked!) where she got to enjoy her favorite meal of Mac and Cheese.  She also got a yummy sundae for dessert!  She had a great birthday this year that lasted for weeks!

Next up was Father's Day.  Mikaiya made a lot of stuff for daddy at school this year.  Here she is helping to explain her card to him.

Daddy thought it would be funny to see if his new clothes would fit Braenna!

This is my new favorite picutre...daddy and his girls!  They look so happy!
