Randoms

So I have started to fall behind so this will be a post of randoms :)

Marshall I just finished putting those markers away.


Marshall crawled around like this for a few days but is back to normal now that he is use to how things feel when he isn't wearing pants. Not walking yet maybe in the next few weeks . We can get him to take a couple of unassisted steps.

Over the weekend we went to the Iowa to participate in the ovarian cancer walk in memory of Aunt Jana. We also spent some quality time with family making more great memories

Just before the walk started

At the park with cousins after the walk

In love with kittens. Those poor things didn't get a min to themselves all day.

Cousin horse races



Most of the Philben great grand children. If I am counting correctly we are missing 8 more.



Mallory was back to the dentist again today. This time to get sealant put on her permant molars. I had no idea they did that but hopefully it will help prevent cavities. Did see the ex-rays of her mouth and looks like she will be losing a lot of teeth this year.

Today we found some free time to go to Kirk's parents and take a dip in the pool. Hopefully the weather keeps getting warmer so we can swim more often.



Marshall's Milestone Pictures

Krista and Erin took some pictures of Marshall over the weekend. Thanks you guys!

Memorial Weekend

First weekend at the lake this year. It was great to be back. Of course there are always little things here and there that Kirk's parents have added since the last time we visited. A new TV with satellite, new washer and dryer are a few of the bigger items. We had a few other visitors with us this weekend, seven of the Larson crew (Glenys' side of the family) and the Gores Family. It is always nice to have a big crew up for the weekend. Marshall was a little more clingy towards me (didn't think it was possible) I think it was being in an unfamiliar place with so many unfamiliar people.

Saturday was beautiful and we just enjoyed spending the day outside. Playing in the water,'basking in the sun' (as the girls like to say), taking walks, fishing and camp fires.

Yes Mallory I see that you can climb that now please get down.

I want that camera!

Foot long hot dog for dinner. She ate about 3/4 of it.

Best Buds

I think Kaylen was trying to get a picture with Ginny.

Beth sitting by the fire being silly

Smores taste good and are sticky

Very proud of her catch

Sunday was Hunter's 10th birthday so we celebrated by going into town and visiting the ice cream shop and a round of mini-golf. Spent most of the evening having a few cocktails and chatting. Mallory and Mykaela had a sleep over with Beth in her camper. Wasn't sure how it would go but they did well considering they were just getting to know Beth. They came in to find me around 5:30am (luckily just before the thunderstorms started)



Grandma was excited about her shot



Happy Birthday Dear Hunter ....

Cousins doing the dishes

The cousins had a great time together everyone was so well behaved. You could tell Mallory and Ethan had missed hanging out together.

Last Day of Preschool

Mykaela's last day of preschool was on Friday. They spent the class time at the wood park off of cliff. I think Mykaela enjoyed her time in school this year, I know she really liked her teacher Ms. Angie. She will be switching to 3 half days next year at RiverHills hoping it will help her transition into Kindergarten.
