Girls proud of Dad!!

I know Travis would never brag so I will put up the picture. The girls are really proud of Dad's new fishing rod and his big fish. I will guess that Brayden is too. Marisa enjoyed showing everyone Dad's green fishing rod last week and telling them about his "giant" fish.

A long night

The kids got a swing set! After an all nighter by Travis (I made it to 2:45am) the swing set is complete. We know that we will have to move it some time, but it is worth the smile on their faces. I am getting a little more work done too. We are working on a few ideas on enclosing under the deck for a playhouse/fort. Travis is already having a good time with it too. He created a water slide for the girls one hot day. We put a landing pool at the bottom of the slide and ran the water down the slide for the girl. They loved it! We just need a wider landing pool, they always shot past it.

Travis grows a beard

For Hartington's 125 year celebration Travis grew a beard. Here are some pictures per everyones requests.

Nanny visits!!

My mom came to visit the kids (and me) in May. She had a great time with the kids. It took Becca about a couple of hours every morning to wake up and adjust to Nanny being there. After that they were best friends. Marisa was attached to Nanny the entire trip. Brayden and my mom got to bond. She fed him many meals and helped rock him to sleep. All of miss her a lot. I got in trouble for taking down her bed after she left. Marisa told us that we need to buy another bed so Wello can come visit. The other day she asked when will it be his turn.

Marisa took the last photo.

Catching up

Well, I have a lot of catching up to do. Seems like it's been awhile since I have written. I will try to do this in chunks. I am going to keep off the house issues right now. The house is slowly getting done but there are so many issues I don't know where to begin.
