Nice tree, Clark!

These boys went on a mission yesterday to find the perfect Christmas tree...

 

Pete & Fischer argued about every tree on the farm before they finally picked one.  Stanley was cold... but if he would quit insisting that he wear rain boots everywhere he goes, maybe his little feet wouldn't freeze!

Slowly but surely...

                                 Yes, that's Fischer wearing swimming trunks and rain boots.

                 Our garage is so full of kid toys, Pete had to build a shop so we have room for more!

Just Because

Halloween

October 2012

 

There won't be any extra seats on the merry go round next year... Sean & Al are expecting TWINS in March 2013... and finally a girl in the mix!!

 

We were lucky to have some really nice weather the weekend Sean, Al & Drew came to visit.  The boys play so well together, they're just a riot.  I should have recorded some of Drew & Fischer's conversations just for a laugh in the future.  

 

Al & I kept our pants on for the chicken nugget underwear party.

Family Pictures by Connie Hemmer

 Pictures are always challenging at this age, but we saw a new level of stubborn with Stanley.  Drew and Fischer were pretty good sports.  Next time maybe we'll leave Stanley home... just crop him in the pictures :)

Moms new flying SUV

The trip to Grandma's house keeps getting shorter!  Fischer asks me every other day... "mom, can you please put me in your airplane and fly me to Illinois?"  I'm still a little scared of it, but I'm learning!

See... they do each have a shirt that doesn't say John Deere...

At the cabin

 This was a nice Sunday afternoon at the Klingbeil cabin.  The guys watched the Packer game while kids played outside...

 They were all fascinated by Marsha's grass whistle!

Camping with the Thums

Mike & Bev had us out for a campfire and dinner last night.  Fischer & Stanley packed up their camping chairs and their tractors, of course.  They ran and played until they couldn't take it anymore!!  They were so filthy I thought I was going to have to spray them off with a hose before letting them back in the house!

GO BEARS!

Thursday night I had to special order the Bears/Packers game on the NFL network just so Stanley & I could bust out our new Bears gear!  By the end of the night, Pete had them both hollering "Bears stink!"  Well, what could I say?! 

Sept 9: Julie's 6th 29th Birthday!

 

 

The boys had so much fun Saturday at the zoo, we decided to go back for more on Sunday.  They were troopers considering how tired they all were after a long weekend.  

Then we had a problem after we got home....  Fischer was reaching under the couch, trying to get a book.  Somehow he got his head stuck between the bars.  He was calm for a minute, then the panic set in.  Pete had to take the couch apart to get him out.  Glad it happened while Pete was home!!
