Yay, it's Aunt Brittany!!

Aunt Brittany and Max came over to visit!!! We had soo much fun with them here! We went to the park and played and hung out with them all weekend!! Emma did not want them to leave!!

Emma's first day of preschool!

Emma's first day of preschool! She has been looking forward to it for a while!! She couldn't wait to see all of her friends! We asked her that night what her favorite part had been and she replied, "I LOVE riding the bus, and I LOVE having my best friend with me!" Here's a trade mark photo.. Emma standing on the door step posing before school starting!
Here's Emma with her teachers! Miss Shana, and Miss Jodi

Birthday Time!

Mom and Paul watched the kids that night, while Willie and I went to the casino! Nope, we didn't win anything.. But, we ran into my Aunt Katie and Uncle Troy!! So we hung out with them for the night!!

Here is Emma, Jackson, and Brayden playing with the sand/water box.



It's been a while, I know! It's so hard to find time to come back to the computer at night and let everyone in our lives know what is going on! So much has gone on in the past month!! So, I'm slowly but surely posting everything!

We went to Monona to celebrate birthdays! My cousin Carrie's little boy, Jackson.. and mine! Jackson turned 4, and me 24! We tried to get a nice family photo, but obviously it wasn't in Brayden's plans. He kicked and squirmed until I finally let him go! Oh well!

Busy, Busy, Busy

We have had so much going on this summer! Never a dull moment! As mentioned in the past post, Willie's grandma came into town. I made sure that I took a lot of pictures :) She always said, "Oh can't you put that darn thing down, I'm gonna end up breaking that thing!" Last weekend wasn't a great one for us. Brayden started running an over 103 degree fever, the last thursday night, by sunday night it still wasn't going down or going away.. I called the ER in a panic because his temp was 104. YIKES.. I know you aren't supposed to panic in little ones until it gets a little higher, but still!! So right away on monday morning we made a Dr. appointment. He checked him out and the poor baby had pneumonia! So now that's taken care of and he's back to the same monster that he always has been. :)

Last night, one of Willie's friends from high school got married. We had a blast seeing everyone and getting to hang out! It's seems like forever since we've seen a lot of our old friends!!

Mr Brayden :)

Gramma Tille's back!! Just for a week though :) We haven't seen her for a while, the last time was when Em was 2! We are very excited to see her! This is her first time seeing Brayden :) We are looking forward to spending some time with her!

Time flies, when you're having fun :)

Wow! Time goes by soo fast! Yikes, it's been a while since the last post! :) Anyways, we haven't been up to much, it's been so HOT, so we've been relaxing :) Over the last few days we've gone to the new aquatic center, the kids love going down there! We put on Emma's life-jacket and let her swim away! Willie wades in the deep, deep end where the diving boards are and she JUMPS :) off!! That is her new favorite thing to do! The very first time she jumped she covered her eyes, so she couldn't see where she was going, Willie and I were laughing so hard :)
