Outside


We have been spending a lot of time outside lately! Kamryn got a swingset from mommy and daddy, which she loves.

Last summer I think she hated swings or slides one of the two and now this year she loves the slide and she can't go high enough on the swing.

The only thing I wish is that our backyard was fenced in so I could feel safe leaving her out there while I do laundry etc. I can leave her out there while I do dishes or anything in the kitchen cause obviously I can still see her.

None the less though we bought the swingset from Craigslist. We have been pretty lucky on Craigslist. We bought my Impala on Craigslist and now the swingset. Whoever invented that was a genius!!

The past 2 weekends we are staying in Appleton and are loving it! Not having to pack, getting some cleaning done etc. It's been nice. But we are going to Mayville again next weekend for my dad's birthday and Godson Bryce's birthday. We are thinking it's just going to be a day trip so we are home to celebrate Mother's Day as our own family. Go to church, maybe go to the New Zoo?

I continue to enjoy my job in the Parks and Recreation Dept. And Kamryn LOVES daycare. Her teachers wish she would attend full-time! :-)

We also bought a new camera so hopefully I can get back to taking more pictures. It's a Nikon Coolpix S650. And I am hoping that my friends Jean and Gretchen will teach me all the neat things it's suppose to be able to do, that I am too camera illiterate to figure out.

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mommy's reading this!

Busy weekends

These last couple of weekends have been full of driving back and forth from Appleton to Mayville. We had Easter last weekend and came home, this weekend we went to Milwaukee to the Museum and then had my cousin Eric's going away party who is being deployed. And yet again next weekend coming back to Mayville to get my car fixed by my favorite mechanic (father-in-law), haircut, and shopping with my sister!

Ken leaves on Saturday for a fishing trip for a week. Not looking forward to being a single mom for a week. Thankfully I'll get a break when I go to work. :-) Love her to pieces, but thankful for a break.

We then don't plan on coming home for a full weekend until the end of May for turkey hunting.

We enjoy coming home and spending time with family, but packing, unpacking, driving, gets old! And our stuff around the house in Appleton has to get done also.

So that's what has been going on in a nutshell. Kamryn is getting bigger and sassier by the day! She is too smart for her own good is the problem. She doesn't miss much! She is so much fun to listen to and just watch! We are so lucky to have her in our life.

What was life like before her?!?!?!?!?
