Hello October!

I don't even know where to begin in getting caught up-

 

A lot has happened in our lives over the past few months!

 

We have lots of great memories from the Summer of 2014!

 

Our summer consisted mostly of...

 

...baseball,

 

Riley played on the Onalaska 12U Tournament Team

baseball,

 

Isaac's first year on the tournament team.

 

and more baseball!

 



Aidan's first year of t-ball- Happy Bats at the YMCA

 

We also sprinkled in a little bit of track and field.

 

This was Riley and Isaac's first year participating in the Park and Rec

 

Track and Field program and they really enjoyed it!

 

 

It was a lot of fun watching them try something new.

 

Some of their favorite events were:

 

long jump,

 

high jump,

 

and sprint races.

 

We also did a little work this summer...

helping Grandma Jane take down her shed

We went back to help Grandma Jane take down her shed

 

and turned the area into a patio with a garden on the side.

 

It was a lot of work

 

but there was lots of great help.

 

There were also lots of great memories made with family that weekend!

 

 

 

In July, Tim and I made a trip to St. Louis for

 

Scentsy Family Reunion.

 

Scentsy Family Reunion 2014- St. Louis

While we were there

 

we went to a Cardinals game (which they won with a walk off home run),

 

saw some of the sights

 

and ate some great food-

 

all while enjoying our time with our Scentsy Family.

 

We also ran in the second Scentsy Family 5K.

 

Since I am doing this post so late

 

I really don't remember many of the details of the race

 

(hot and hilly come to mind)

 

and am not really able to do a full recap

 

but here are some pics from the Rock Your Socks 5K:

 

on the bus taking us to the park where the race was run

It was the ROCK YOUR SOCKS 5K- I had to wear fun socks!

We also had lots of fun with friends this summer-

 

doing a little sight-seeing in the area

 

 

Fun day on the boat with friends

Hiking with friends to enjoy one of the last days of summer vacation.

There was also a wedding

 

which meant

 

fun time with family!

 

Congrats Candyce and Scott

 We wrapped up our summer with one last,

 

quick trip to Missouri to visit Papa and Grandma Jill over Labor Day weekend.

 

Life is better at the lake!

 

We had a very busy

 

and fun filled summer!

 

Lots of great memories were made during the summer of 2014!

 

Oh-

 

there is one thing that I did this summer that I left out!

 

I am officially an Iron Girl!

 

More on that in my next post:)
