Kellen is a third grader!

We got Kellen's report card today! He did very well and we are so proud of him! We also found out what teacher he would have next year........Ms. Loker again! He is so excited to have her again and I look forward to seeing her often!

Soccer Camp With The Wisconsin Badgers

This week Kellen took part in a Soccer Camp that is coached by the UW Badgers Soccer Team. Grandma Schumacher helped to pay for it and Kellen had so much fun. Isiah, a cousin, was in the camp too.Kellen trying to score against one of the coaches

The kids did a week at the camp from 9 in the morning to noon. They all got shirts and water bottles and some (if they paid extra for them) got new soccer balls. Kellen learned so much and wants to do it again next year! Thanks again Grandma!

Ethan The Sunscreen Kid

Ethan put on his own sunscreen today before soccer camp. He said he was done and when I looked at him I started to laugh. He told me that his skin would suck it all up.

I Think That We Should Build An Ark............Does Anyone Know How?

Jared and the boys took a drive yesterday to take some pictures of the flood in Fort Atkinson. The area has been hit very hard by the rain that has caused the river to come over its bank in Fort Atkinson and in Jefferson Wisconsin. They do not expect the river to crest until Saturday or Sunday and then slowly go down. Below are some of the pictures that Jared and the boys took. Welcome to The Fort! We hope you have a boat

Those windows are those of a local restaurant. The Velvet Lips Lounge and a lot of other business in the downtown area are closed due to the flood.

One of the many pump trucks trying to help pump some of the water out of downtown businesses.

A water bubbler that is about 15 feet away from the river

The park on the river. This is one of our favorite parks to play at

Ethan Is Missing Something.........

His tooth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ethan lost his first tooth today! He says we can call him Toothless Ethan! He was mad at me when I took this picture. I was standing in the way of the Wii game that he was playing.

Ethan's Zoo Trip

On Tuesday I went with Ethan's class to the Zoo. We had a beautiful day and so much fun! Ethan and some of his friends sure act like monkeys now they look like them too

The Prairie Dogs really made us laugh. They would come out and then flatten themselves out on the ground.
