2024 :: 26/52

 wednesday Al was off work. i had kasen and kohen (daycare kids) all day. it was really nice out so we set up our pool and were outside most of the day. i worked out at 430 and then got "ice bath" in the pool since the hose water was so cold. 

Thursday Al had to work at country fest 6a-6p :(; kids and i went to the gym, i fit in my payroll work as usual, and they had their 2nd soccer practices at 430 & 630p again. the weather was really nice so we had a picnic supper at the fields and brought chloe home after practice so matt & carsyn could go to cam's baseball game. 

friday started Al's weekend of work. it rained. once Al was home from work, i went to watch the end of chloe's tournament softball game and then hang out with jodi at the fields for an hour before she had to work the concession stand. 

saturday mom came down. we went to autumn harvest winery to celebrate nikki's birthday. they had a bounce house set up for the kids. then we went to watch chloe's softball game and got lunch there. i went to my friend trina's house warming party for a bit after i made supper. then went to watch a movie with jodi and chloe. 

sunday we took mom to outlaw farms, a small zoo that is often open now, and it was so fun and gorgeous weather. we loved it there! after quiet time the kids finally got to go in the pool and matt, jodi, cam, and carsyn came over to swim (chloe was still at the softball tourney.) the ended up staying for supper and Matt & Al grilled brats (Matt also picked up chloe in there.) the kids and eventually the dads played a game of wiffle ball. 

monday Tova started her gymnastics class at 10am, Al had PT at a new place that is free for his work at 930, then i worked out at 12. 

tuesday was the same except matt & jodi had us over for yummy taco salad for supper. we got going on a game of phase 10 and it took forever! we were playing until it got dark...

2024 :: 25/52

 we got home late saturday night from the lake; and it rained most of the day so we didn't bring the boat home and then couldn't get all our stuff home. 

sunday was unpacking, laundry, gym and relaxing. we all went to camdyn's baseball game to see our friends that we hadn't seen in over 2 weeks. 

monday was back to work for Al. the kids and i went to the gym at 9 then ran a bunch of errands. then we went to the eau claire pool with Nikki, cam and brooklyn. it was fun; we got there right when they opened, but it got really busy about 3pm so we left about then. the boys loved the high dive and the girls rocked the big water slide. 

tuesday i worked out at noon, Al had a work meeting n6p-9p after his shift, and the kids had their first soccer practices for their summer soccer teams. Tova is on a team with her 2 besties, carsyn and brooklyn, and nikki is coaching. Trevor and Chloe are on the same team this year too! and both teams have orange jerseys! Tova's practice was at 430 and trev's at 630 at the soccer park on the south side of town. my first time where both kids had soccer and there was an hour difference. it was super hot out so we went to burger king in between to cool off in the a/c and have supper.

2024 :: The Lake

 We had a great week at the lake! The weather wasn't great and wasn't hot, the lake was cold, both kids got a fever 1 day, but we still had so much fun with our cousins. I won the cribbage tournament!!!! I started with Angi as my partner but she had to leave on Tuesday so then I got Uncle Jimmy. Trevor really loves his time with his alaska cousins Hudson and Carson who are a year older and a year younger than him. Tova loves Etta and Leni of course, and my cousin Khloe's boyfriend Nate brought his 8 year old daughter Bristol and tova enjoyed her! Al got to stay all week this year!! He fished, golfed and played cribbage. I enjoy my time with my cousins, reading, and hanging with the babies! 1 year old Conley came over every morning with his momma Eryn and had coffee at our cabin. :) I put on the girls night/champagne party this year and did an 80s theme for those of us who had recently or will recently turn 40. it was fun, with a couple games that turned into flippy cup. we again didn't get out on the boat this year :( but we did go to the bar.
