Happy Birthday Ashlee !

This weekend Ashlee turned 19 years old ... we had a fun day together and look at this amazing birthday cake I made her.. HAHA!
WE LOVE YOU ASHLEE ALYSSA ACHTENBERG !

Fun times ...

Mud Puddles

Boys will be boys... straight to the mud puddles when we go outside... Braxton even thought it was a great opportunity to get a drink.. yuck! No worries... I did stop him after I got the photo!

We love our Apple's !

The boys love to pick apples off our apple trees in the yard. Braxton loves to eat them... Beau will take a bite and spit it out, he never actually eats the apple but every time we go out side they both must have a apple off the tree.

Ashlee's big move

Today we moved Ash to her new house. Here you can see the "smooth move"... so classy!

This was like something right out of the Beverly Hillbillies!

Happy Birthday Blog

So this marks the one year birthday for the blog.. I was looking back at the first entry and it is funny how all 4 of our kids have grown up so much... cherish the moments right!

Big kids and their toys...

So this weekend Ash and Vince were able to play with their water toys. It was fun to watch them and it really makes us wish it was May right now and not August. But hey.. that's what the next twenty years are for right!
We enjoyed my Sister Jen and her families visit on Friday night and then Sunday Grandma and Grandpa Achtenberg came over. Fun times!

Love-Love-Love xxoo

Thank you Lord... for we are blessed!

Our first weekend up north

We had fun our first weekend up north. Now it is only Tuesday and I can't wait til Friday! This weekend we get all four of our kids up there so we are very excited.

This past weekend Beau learned how to get out of his crib and Braxton learned how to tie his shoes. Kidden on the shoe thing.

Up North...

Well after dreaming of having a cabin for years we finally have two. This week we closed on our new Heaven on earth... two darling cabins up north.

Vince is already fixing up the fish cleaning house and ready to take the boat out to catch us dinner.

We look forward to 50 years of family and friends gathering here to love life and make great life long memories.
Like they say...
Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today.”

So HOT and SO happy!

As the temps were very warm tonight we brought the boys outside to swim in their new life jacket outfits. What a hoot!!!! They look so funny and they make the boys look so chubby. The boys had way more fun taking turns getting drinks from the hose and watching the boats go by then then did swimming in the pool.

Cots .. no cribs!

The boys went to Anna's Bananas on Wednesday and had fun!
They even took great naps on the big boys cots... ahhhh so cute!

Our first trip to the fair...

Today we took the boys to the Washington County fair. They really liked the farm animals and they got their very first pony rides!!! They loved their very first ride on the Ferris wheel too! The boys also got to play a game "pick a duck" with a carnie with no teeth... and they both won the big prize!
Mini donuts, pizza ,pickles and big corn dogs were all big hits!
