Strawberry Season...Mmmmm:)

Not sure but I do believe the girls (esp. Lauren) may have eaten more than she picked. The best part was she picked them out of the container instead of picking them from the plant! She was very cooperative and enjoyed the outing however.

The tractor ride was fun - as well as watching the tractors pass by...

I should have took a photo of our fingers...they were completely red!

Look at all those strawberries...I see lots of jelly and pies in our future!

WI Dells Fun

Summer is here! It was a great time to visit the Dells and hang out with the Schunk and Mauk families. The weather was so nice. Addison was just barely clearing the 4'2" mark which meant she could go on MANY of the slides/rides that were a bit extreme (for me). She never feared any of them and was so happy to go with her older nieces!

Where are Larry and Addison?

Addison went down this crazy drop you can't even see with her cousin!  

Lauren's 2nd Birthday Week

Lauren had a week of celebrations for her 2nd birthday. One party with the Grandparents and the Baier aunts and uncle. On her actual birthday we went to Applebees where she was treated to singing and a BIG sundae! The last celebration was with Karla's sister and brother in the Dells to also celebrate Claudia's (our niece's birthday). She will tell you if you ask, she had a GREAT birthday week!


I included a clip of her singing "Happy Birthday"! Over the past few months she has been learning how to sing songs and express her fun-loving personality. In a nutshell, she loves making people laugh, cuddling and talking-oh, and LOVES eating sweets:)

Lauren sneaking a lick of the cake prior to blowing out candles...Ella giggling about  Lauren! 

Looking like a BIG 2 year old here (with her little ponytail!)
