Sleep overs...

The girls (Em and Erin) like to come and stay the weekend of any party we are having at our house. They are such a big help in getting ready and keeping me for getting to detail focused which then gets me cranky! Yikes! LOL...

This weekend we are preparing for Shawn's 12th birthday party.

We play hard during the day, but then we have to settle in somewhat early for the next day is not ruined by the crabbies... Here is Oots begging for a taste of pizza while Em and Mason hang out and snuggle on the blow up bed.

Still on the blow up bed... and still snuggling come sun up.
LOVE THESE KIDS!

Boating summer 2014!!!

Chris's Uncle Tom has a pontoon boat that he lets us borrow in exchange for other favors. The kids all love it just as much as the adults! Here are some pics of us playing...

The beautiful Erin!

Boating on the Waupaca Chain of Lakes. We also go on the Wolf River when we want to cruise and watch the sunset.

Our little animal lover Emily.

Shooter

Oompa and all his snacking on cheetos... thank goodness Oots is there to clean up the floor of the boat!

Playing like a goof!

Ms B (Bailey Lunde) seems to be our adopted daughter in the summer months. Sweetest little cousin!

4th of July Manawa Rodeo

Coy and Jodi and family went to the rodeo with us. Fun, but VERY hot in the bleachers! The clowns were fun to watch too (and I don't just mean "our clowns")!

Krisher company

We loved that Coy and Jodi came to visit for the weekend over the fourth. They travel for their work and were close to us so it worked out great! The kids of course all really enjoyed playing and getting to know each other.

Mason, Akstel, Shawn, Bakota, Tae and Ember

We had large large LARGE water balloons that filled up to be 6 x 6 ft that we used to roll on, jump on, and get wet with. FUN!

Granny and Ember enjoying books.

Busy day playing makes for dirty boys.

Bakota, Akstel, and Mason making a assembly line of tractor and truck washing (using shaving cream) skills.

Uncle Robbie is moving on...

Uncle Robbie, Bob-Bob, Uncka Wobbie, etc have moved on... Rob has lived with us for about 4 years. He has become a special, "permanent figure" to the Sonshines. It will be so different with him gone! Good luck Ob-Bob!!!!
