art is elementary

5.11.14

Ashlyn's painting was chosen to be a part of the 
South Central Regional Elementary Art Show at Gustavus Adolphus College.  
What an honor! 
I think there were only 6 kids chosen from her K-2 school (approx 500 kids). 
We are so proud of her!


The invite to come see her art at the Schaefer Fine Arts Gallery.
It was on display May 7th to May 30th.

Happy 6th Birthday Ashlyn!

7.9.14

Happy 6th birthday to our kind, sweet, funny and awesome Ashlyn! 
She said that she feels like a six year old today, a little older, a little smarter and even a little taller! She is so proud to be six! 

Mom and dad got her a Nerf bow, a pink camo zip up sweatshirt, and zebra Hello Kitty socks.  She said that the bow was the "coolest present EVER!"  She has spent most of the morning shooting it.  Tonight she requested to go out to Pizza Ranch for her birthday supper. Our little girl is growing up!!!

Ashlyn's last day of Kindergarten!

6.5.14

Ashlyn was so excited for her last day of Kindergarten. 
They had Field Day and she said it was awesome!

 This picture just doesn't do her justice. Poor girl got knocked over by the dog and landed on the cement steps on her back. Big serape over half her back :( She smiled through the tears. She is so excited to be an official First Grader!

First and Last day of Kindergarten

Mushroom Hunting

5.31.14

While Joe was busy with field work, the girls and I went morel mushroom hunting down by the Minnesota river on what we call "Riverland".  We'd already found around 150 mushrooms the week before and this trip we found a bunch more.

We used grandpa Tim's ranger so we could strap Claire's seat in and have enough room for everyone. Claire loved getting a front row seat and faced forward! She was all smiles.

Loula Ladies

 This is just one of many we found. Picture perfect!

While I was climbing on a steep hillside the girls decided to share their pouch of apple sauce with Claire and let her try to feed it to herself. She was covered in applesauce! This picture doesn't do justice to how messy she was.  
She didn't mind obviously!

Fishing at the cabin

5.25.14

We went to the cabin with grandma Deb while daddy was still busy planting. After we got the lawn mowed the girls wanted to go fishing. We had a great weekend, got a few projects done, transplanted a ton of plants that grandma brought up and even had a fire. Only thing missing was dad!

The girls did great fishing off the dock. They were biting like crazy!

 We made homemade pudding pops. 

Delicious and messy!

 Ashlyn fell asleep on the screened-in deck... 
its hard work playing all day at the cabin!
(She denies that she ever fell asleep!)
