Happy 4th of July

We hope everyone had a very Happy 4th of July. We were lucky enough to get sunshine and warm weather. Thanks Streit family for a great time!

Can someone open this water for me? Its hot out here and I'm parched.

Hey...there's a strap in my face. If you want me to leave this hat on, you'd better turn it the right way and buckle this thing.

Hammin' it up for the camera.

Sturgis Or Bust

3 Boys 1 Harley

Who's gonna ride it?

Are they gonna ride it...or just wash, wax, and admire it?

Hanging out with friends & family, drinking cold beer on a warm afternoon, and wishing there were 3 bikes can only lead to one thing...

2 boys on a Harley...Sturgis watch out!

(good thing all 3 didn't try to get on there!)

Summer 2009

So sorry I have been horrible about updating this lately! We have been quite the busy family and I just haven't been doing much. Our business started in May when they finally took my Dad in for triple bypass surgery. Allie & I got to spend some time down with Mom, Kim & Brent in Rochester while he was in. Stressful time but Allie's big smile and happy personality kept everyone (including other families) occupied. Thank god for that! Surgery was a success and Dad is feeling much better...just bored!

June brought us graduation parties...afternoons with old and dear friends...deck building parties...

June also brought us our big decision to put our house up for sale. Allie & all her toys are creating a space issue & we really just want to get out in the country somewhere with some space for Matt and Jasmine of course...farm boys should never live in the city! We have been cleaning and finishing those last minute projects. The sign officially went up last Monday. There were 2 showings last week right away & another 2 scheduled already for this week. Keep your fingers crossed that it will go quick!

Miss Allie has had a few big accomplishments of her own...She can pull herself up (well maybe with a little help, but almost on her own). Here she is watching Daddy fix some siding on the back of the house. And her biggest accomplishment to date is her new crawling expertise. We're really in trouble now. She never sits still!

We hope everyone else is having as fun of a summer that we are! I promise to keep this more up to date in the days and weeks to come.
