We're back!!!!

Well we took a very long break and now we are back! Krista just found this blog again and figured she had nothing better to do than post pictures and family updates. :) We must have been very busy the last couple years... I wonder why?
Hopefully we can update this often and share all our fun adventures.
Enjoy!

Summer fun!!

We have been one busy family this summer!! Here are some of the adventures we have had:
1. We MOVED!!!! We love our new house and are adjusting. Hopefully this winter we will have more time to get things done and situated in our house.

2. Samantha started new daycare! She seems to be adjusting well. It is her third week now and has made some new friends: Easton and Maddy. I am excited for "school time" to start at daycare in two weeks. Carla has an entire curriculum that she will follow. Here is her website if you want to check out pictures: http://www.carlaschildcare.com/ go to the bottom of the page and click "HERE" the password is: daycarefun

3. Jason has been super busy-with working waaaay too much and traveling, working around the house and bear baiting up atthe shack at least once a week. We are both glad he is a little closer now-It only takes him 2 hours to get to the shack. Bear hunting officially starts the Wednesday after labor day.

4. We went to Duluth with a big group of friends the week after we moved. It was a great little getaway!!

5. We have gone to the zoo a few times-even though we are farther away. Sam loves it there!

6. Fun with the Corrigans! Aunt Lisa and the kids drove  up to play for a day and a half. We went to Como Zoo and had a picnic. I love my cousins!!

7. Mom and I get to spend Fridays together, so we have come up with some fun science projects and activities to do! Homeade sidewalk paint, milk rainbows, pudding painting....

8. Samantha's room is finally put together. She has some new wall art on her walls!

We are moving!

We will officially be Wisconsin residents in mid-July! We bought a new house in New Richmond. It's our dream home!!

Daddy had a big Birthday this year. He turned 30! Grandma and Grandpa Ash came to help celebrate.

We have been to the park almost every week for the past month too! I love to run around and get dirty!

Weekend Fun

We stayed home this weekend, so mom and dad got to spoil me!

We went to eat gyros in Woodbury and then afterwards, I got to play at a playground because it was so nice out!

 On Sunday, we took a trip south to the Lark Toy store in Kellogg. What a cool place! Sam got to ride on a carousel!

I love puzzles!!!

Sledding at the cabin



Samantha got to go to the cabin last weekend and play with Grandma and Grandpa. She loves sledding on her snowmobile and even likes going down (short) hills!
