Dairy Farm!

Last weekend The Sicheneders invited us to come play and check out their Cows. I wasn't sure what Robbie was going to think. We got close enough but I think he would have loved to have gotten even closer. As you can see in the pictures, it's a bit wet so we didn't want to sink in the mud or poo to get closer. Kent reached as far as he could and Robbie LOVED every minute of it! I think he mastered his "moo" thanks to hearing those real cows on their farm. Thanks again guys!! Squirts, Colleen's baby all grown up. She hand fed this one!! This cow loves to be by people, the others, not so much!

Look at that smile! He was lovin it! Poor Kent, reaching as far as he could without stepping in all the poo and mud!

He was so excited!

This shot is one of my favs...he loved touching her nose!

Colleen rubbin her back, apparently she loves it!

Another one...... touching her nose

Hayley showing us the farm life....

Great Grandma Evelyn comes to visit!

Kent's Grandma Evelyn came to stay with us for a few days. Robbie absolutely loved playing with Evelyn. She always got right in there with him, putting on hats, reading, singing and dancing. He actually cried when she left. Love you Great Grandma Evelyn! "You can come visit anytime", says Robbie! Kisses...

Great Grandma being silly!!

Robbie loves to see everyone wear HATS!

Storytime...

Say Cheese!

Hugs...

"Whatcha got in there Grandma?"

"I got in!!!"

Notice the cat even loves it when Great Grandma comes to stay!

Apple Orchard and Pumpkin Patch!

Happy Fall Everyone! We have been doing a few things when we catch time on the weekends to celebrate fall. Here are some of the pictures to show you the fun we have been having. Enjoy! Robbie sure is growing up fast. He is running around everywhere keeping both of us on our toes. He loves to get into things he shouldn't be. We have to keep a constant eye on him. Looking forward to having a relaxing Halloween this year. Robbie is going to dress up as a Tiger or Cheetah. We'll be sure to share pictures of the festivities. That's all for now.
This is what we did with the Pumpkin after we brought it home. Robbie loves his painted "PuNKin"

After a long day of picking pumpkins. Almost couldn't fit the sucker in the car.

The Whole Family in on the picking.

One of my favorites. He had a blast!

He isn't quite sure what is going on yet....That thing has to weigh at least 80 pounds!

On the way to the patch at the Kreink Farm...Thanks guys!!

It's Been Too Long!

It's been so long since I have taken the time to update everyone. We have had such a crazy summer. Lots going on-- Just like everyone else. We attended the 4th of July festivities in St. Peter. Attended the Nicollet County fair, attended my aunt and uncle's 50th wedding anniversary and went to a wedding at a camp (Robbie's first over night outdoors experience--in a dorm/cabin). Lots of fun things. Can't believe fall is already here! Here are some of the fun pictures of how he continues to grow and all the fun things we did this summer! oh, yeah, also, Kent went on a Trip of Lifetime to Norway to visit his friend who lives there!! At the Anniversary Party hangin' next to Elvis

Kent's trip to See his friend Yolanda in Norway... he got to see lots of the sites, spent quality time with a dear friend and explored new things for 10 days... great Vacation for Kent!

Memorial Day Weekend and Robbie's First Hair Cut!

Memorial Day weekend I went down to St. Peter to celebrate Dad and Paula's Birthdays. The whole family was there. I missed out on the camping fun with all the Groetschs but made it down on Sunday to do the birthdays and have a sleepover at Grandpa's. We had a blast and Robbie got his first hair cut too! WOO-HOO! He looks so different. Enjoy some of the fun shots I got of the weekend. All the kids with Grandpa Pat and Auntie Paula celebrating their birthdays! "See Paula, you try, It's FUN!""Don't you want to try Uncle Roger?" Getting very tired, snuggling with Great Uncle Roger... So before we left on Monday, we decided to give Robbie his first hair cut! He had such fine hair. Here we are getting ready to occupy him with anything while Paula cut his hair...we weren't sure if he was going to sit still. The Before..... Making sure that the clipper wasn't going to hurt him. Just checkin it out...

Not so bad....

Looks like a mullet.....

And After....I can't believe how different he looks after cutting off those long locks!
