Happy Birthday, Mom!

HAPPY BIRTHAY Mamacita!! It's been such a blessing to have you with us lately--the kids LOVE "Grammy" time. The memories we've made are priceless.

Thank you for everything you've done for us--recently and growing up. You always put us first and gave so much of yourself. You taught me by example what being a mom really means. I always wanted a daughter to pass on the relationship that I've always cherished with you. "Her children arise and call her blessed." Proverbs 31:28. I LOVE YOU!

First Day of School

My big school kids. That's right. In case you forgot, Annie joined the brothers this year. Oh my heart...

The growing bus stop. Six more aren't even present. Since we bombed them with water balloons at the end of the year, we served them breakfast to get them started off right this year!

The big girl was ALL SMILES, from the moment I woke her up and said, "Anna, time to get up for school." Her response, "YYYYYYYESSSSSS, Kindergarten!!!"

I, on the other hand, didn't fare so well all day long. A few tears at the bus, a few tears when leaving her classroom, and I was so proud of myself for holding it together....until the grocery store. I overheard a sweet little three year old tell her mom, "that's ok, momma, I love you!" and I just couldn't handle it. Sobs all the way through the cereal aisle, cookie isle, and condiment isle. I lost it again at check out. Let's hope for a better day for mommy tomorrow. Anna, on the other hand, is loving life!!

SERIOUSLY, time goes soooo quickly.

As summer comes to a close....

We had a busy last week of summer....among our activities, the WALWORTH COUNTY FAIR!! Just can't be missed. Not only was it wristband day where you can ride ALL of the rides, over and over again, for TEN HOURS, but it's also a great place to see almost everyone from Elkhorn.
Kaleb and Ted, on the fabulous RE-MIX. Ted says it's ONE of the fastest ride he's ever been on.

Some of the gang that we spent TEN hours with.

Labor Day weekend at Grampy's, gettin' in one more swim...

So long, summer :(

The McWebsky Annual Summer Extravaganza

Each summer, we go with our precious friends from Elkhorn, the Webster and Glogovsky familes, to a Wisconsin lakefront destination. This year, we had EXQUISITE accomodations at Lake Wisconsin Resort (not). But it doesn't matter much when you have such great company!

Hanging out at the beach. Did a lot of this

The kids playing pick-up games. Did a lot of this too. I loved watching them!

A trip on the Merrimac ferry to get ice-cream on the other side

Of course, how could a summer vaca NOT include some biking by our boys? Ted LOVES to figure out all sorts of different routes, and Kevin and Darrenn are good friends and do whatever Ted has planned. Ted loves hills. Most people don't. What troopers!

We were very close to my Dad's, so Captain Bill took us out on a lake tour. Thanks, Dad!

The well-behaved angels. When we started this, Dawn and I were pregnant with the babes and the oldest (Emma) was Kaleb's age.

WE LOVE YOU GUYS! Thanks for another GREAT weekend.

Golfing Protege'

The boys have taken up golf this summer. Thank goodness they've got some pros to help them out...


Grammy's instructions and secret tips

Grampy taking them for their very first 9 holes (not par 3!)

LAMBEAU!! Yea baby.....

It's Mr. Rodger's neighborhood! This was a healing process for me. I saw that yes, the Packers are going to be ok. What a blast we had, in a fancy-smancy box no less! The 45 minute wait to get out of Lambeau after the game, and getting home at 2:00 this morning was TOTALLY worth it. GO PACK GO!

Before the game

Ted, in the box, eating and visiting, which is what he did for the whole first quarter.

Aaron Rodger's first play...

Waiting for my husband to join me to watch the game!

#4

I'm not ashamed to say it. I'm in mourning AGAIN. Only this time, it's worse. He's not retired. He's playing for ANOTHER team. I cannot imagine what Green Bay management was thinking. Ok, so he changed his mind a few times. He has the right. He's Brett Favre FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!! Did they forget he had one of his best seasons LAST YEAR??

Guess where Ted and I get to go on Monday night? A BOX AT LAMBEAU!! Their first preseason game. I WILL cheer for Rodgers, but oh how I wish it were #4....
