More to catch up on!

Some other highlights of our fall/beginning of winter included Westby friends coming to visit us, going to the Kalahari (thanks to our neighbor for the free waterpark passes), and daddy's 28th birthday. Enjoy the pics!

Daddy got some new hunting boots and Brekk loved them just as much as daddy did!

Mackena, Reed and Brekk

Mac loves the zebra slide

Daddy and Mackena got to go down the big waterslides together. Brekk would get so excited watching them. They just came down and he spotted them!

Andy turned 28 on November 29th. They had to help him blow out the candles. Notice the terrific decorating job that Mac did with the frosting! :)

Here is Mackena with some of her Mauston friends at Kailey's 4th birthday party.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Halloween too!

Here are some fun pics from all the costume parties and Halloween fun we had. In case you can't really tell what the kids are supposed to be, Mac was a goldfish and Brekk was an octopus. They had lots of fun and just love getting all dressed up. :) Enjoy!

Long time no blog...sorry!

So I know it has been 3 months since I've blogged....that is SO pathetic. The sad thing is that I have no excuses either...just lazy I guess! I will try to do a few different posts in the next couple days to catch you all up on what has been happening in our crazy lives. I will post lots of pics so get ready! :) I'll just start where I left off in the fall....


October means opening of bird hunting season so Andy was gone a lot in his off time doing some pheasant and grouse hunting. The weather got bad pretty fast this year so he wasn't able to do as much hunting as he had hoped to but trust me, he did plenty of hunting! :)

I went hunting with Andy on opening day and took lots of pics. This is a great shot of Izzy on point!


When Daddy brought home the first pheasant Brekk wasn't so sure what to think!


So of course "big sister" had to step in and tell him all about it!


Just thought I'd toss in a pic of me with the kids...playing in the tent which is definitely becoming a tight squeeze with my growing belly!
Brekk & cousin Cooper

Mac & Grandma Beth making pumpkin cookies.
Acting oh so sweet!

Mac just loves goats. Here she is with a cute little one at the petting zoo at the Mauston Pumpkin Bash.

Brekk started getting timeouts and he wasn't sure what to do...at least he didn't freak out.

Brekk & Mackena watching the first snowfall. Brekk was really excited and all Mac wanted to do was go out and "shobel". Too bad it was only a dusting so no shoveling was required!
That's a little glimpse of our fall update...there will be more to come!
