And The Surprise Is....

Grandpa built a dock for us! What a project it turned out to be. Of course instead of just a dock, it grew into a little seating area so the adults could sit and watch the kids fishing. Thank you Grandpa. The kids had a blast working on it with you and they are taking away some awesome memories not to mention they have a few new building skills under their belt now.

I can't wait to "accessorize" the deck, although that'll be another post. I've also been told that the dock is a "manly" space and that area is off limits. I guess there won't be any flowers on the fishing dock.

The kids can't wait to jump of the end of the dock this summer when the water warms up. Isaac and Daniel can't wait to fish off the dock and I can't wait to go watch the sunrise with a cup of coffee and the early morning silence. Yep, we have big plans for our little dock. Thank you so much Grandma and Grandpa. We love your surprise already.

Door County

Pat and I slipped over to Door County for a day trip on Thursday. We had beautiful weather and the cherry blossoms were SO beautiful. The sky was so blue and the rolling hills were beautifully green and lush. We had a good time browsing through the shops, checking out a few local wineries and enjoying the lovely countryside. These are a few shots from our ladies day away.

Still Working on The Surprise!

Grandpa is still planning, but now he is building as well. All I can say is that he's working with a pretty good crew!

A Happy Memorial Day

Daniel and Nicko marched in the 7th and 8th grade marching band at the Menasha and Neenah Memorial Day Parade. This is a little like Where's Waldo, only it's where's Daniel and Nicko? The band played 'It's A Grand Old Flag."

Grandpa's Surprise!

Grandpa and Grandma visiting is always a thrill. You never know what they are going to do and they always have a few surprises in store for us. Stay tuned to see what is coming up. All I can tell you is that Grandpa is planning a surprise!

I'm Going to Play Football When I Get Older!

I have three older brothers that love football, I am a tom boy, and I am so good at catching footballs. I definitely think I should play football when I am old enough....don't you think so too? Girls can play, I saw it on a paper. They let them play if they sign up. I think I'll be really good cause I can catch the ball so good. I have magic fingers. What does that mean anyway?

Visit at Your Own Risk!

It seems as if every time Grandpa and Grandma Boiten come to visit there is a LONG wish list waiting for them. The first night Grandpa was here, he fixed our broken lawn mower. Day two he built a window seat for the sun room. Day three Grandma painted the window seats. She also is painting a chair for us and trust me, that's only part of the wish list.

So the question is, now that I have the window seats, is there anyone out there that LOVES sewing that wants to come visit? I have some cushions that need upholstering! :-)
