Lake Day

During the same weekend we also spent an afternoon at the lake with the Litts. I love the lake, and my kids are happy for hours. We took a picnic lunch and snacks.
Almost all the kiddos making sand volcanos…it’s my boys’ favorite. Make a volcano, put baking soda inside, pour in vinegar. Boom!







Levi wouldn’t play in the water. He wouldn’t walk on the sand either, but he tried! He practiced on his own accord a couple of time. Otherwise he ate carbs and sat on our laps. 

It was perfect weather. Warm in the sun so the water felt good but a steady breeze so the shade was just right. 

Busy Weekend

We packed a lot into last weekend. Our amazing handy man accomplished four projects for us, including fixing the front door windows!!! They’ve been broken since last fall. 



We went to Fr. Hottovy’s last Sunday Mass at St. Teresa’s. We will miss him!

Logan took the boys to the library, mall walk, and grandma Kathleen’s house all while I was in Humboldt at…

Angelyn’s baby shower! I stayed after the shower to see her beautiful house and help her with a baby project. It wasn’t a long enough visit. It never is. 

Summer Tutoring

Augustine is tutoring in math this summer, and Lewis is tutoring in reading. Lewis’ first challenge was to keep a summer reading log of 2.5 hours of reading. He did it in two days. He loved the challenge!

Augustine’s Summer Turn

Augustine spent a week with G&G and had a lot of fun! Lego building, sewing, baking, window washing, weed pulling, lawn mowing, and lots more!

It’s a highlight of summer. 

Family Swim Fridays

Grandpa joined us last week!

Elias was very brave and started venturing out on his own!

Levi also mustered up the courage to let Augustine help him in the pool. 

They both loved it. 

Elias’ Creations

A chair and table for his breakfast. 

A very elaborate chapel complete with adoration. 

An incenseor that we agree is the most legit one ever made in our family.
