South Dakota or Bust!

We're headed out on our mission trip July 28-Aug. 4th! Here are the 14 crazy kids and 3 zany leaders who will be taking the journey to Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota! We are super pumped to see what God has in store for us all! Please be praying for us as we desire to serve and honor our Mighty God in whatever ways He has set out for us! We'll fill you in with all the details when we get back! Until then, we'd appreciate your prayers!

WE'RE EXCITED...

... to welcome another member to our family around March 15, 2008.

Merry-go-round!

We have really been enjoying our walks to the park this summer.

One of Traeger's new favorites is the merry-go-round!

We're going to the zoo...

The Patrick boys, Nonnie, Traeger and I went to the Greenville Zoo! It was a beautiful day to be out and enjoying the animals! The kid's favorite part was petting the animals. The older boys even got to feed some!

Nonnie and Traeger!

Nonnie came to visit for 3 days while Luke was on a golf trip to Stevens Point! As always Nonnie is a huge help and great company! Thanks for taking the time to come love on us, go shopping, and take long walks! You're the best!

A quick visit!

When we were in Oshkosh for Lifest, Luke and his youth stayed at my parent's house. On Saturday morning we got a call from Luke's parents saying they were on their way home from a motorcyle trip and wondered if they could stop by my parent's on their way home! We gladly accepted the offer to see them and go out to supper!

Traeger thought Grandpa and Nana's motorcycle was pretty cool!

Lifest 2007!

Lifest 2007 was a ton of fun with many gifted artists to enjoy!

We got to hear Newsboys, Toby Mac, Bebo Norman and more!

Dad, me and Luke enjoying our time together!

Friday evening Casey and I got to hang out for a few hours.

A mini CUW reunion! We enjoyed seeing y'all and catching up!

Camping at Lake Arrowhead

On Thursday we headed over to Montello with my family to camp until Saturday. We had a blast doing the usual - swimming, eating way too much, chillin', going to the Flea Market, napping, playing games, etc. Looking forward to doing it again over Labor Day weekend!

Nonnie and Grandpa with Gideon, Kieran, Traeger and Breck!

Traeger's Tree

Grandpa and Nonnie planted a "Traeger" tree in their yard in honor of Traeger. We got to see it for the 1st time this weekend. Traeger's tree joined Gideon, Breck and Kieran's.

Happy Independence Day!

We were in Omro (Mikaela's hometown) for the 4th. According to Luke we had the "privilege" to see the longest parade in history. I will admit the Omro parade is pretty long and there are unneccesary floats that participate, but it's tradition. Luke managed to survive,

and then he and Adam took Traeger and the Patrick boys home for a nap.

Bohn family get together!

We headed home July 3rd for a quick but lovely visit with the Crouch family (my dad's sister and family from CT.) We met at Grandpa and Grandma Bohn's house for a cookout,

and the Patrick family joined in on the fun too!

Pastor Luke in action!

I apologize for the blurry photo but I thought you would enjoy seeing a picture of Pastor Luke in action performing his 1st wedding this past Saturday in Two Rivers for a high school friend.

I'm proud of you Luke, you did an awesome job!

Celebrating!

Since we couldn't make it to cousin Annabelle's 1st birthday party on Sunday, we made a special trip on Thursday to wish her a Happy Birthday! Traeger and Annabelle had fun playing together, stealing each others pacifiers and watching their parents play a mean game of bocce ball!

Happy 1st birthday sweet girl!
