Elkhorn and Lambeau

What a great weekend we had....a visit to Elkhorn and Lambeau!!!

Our besties, the Websters and Glogovskys. (sorry Kev!)

A little play time with Yaya Jen

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I was sooooo excited to be watching my Packers!

This is the RIDICULOUS dessert cart that comes around. Serious desserts.

Ted enjoying his small slice.
Thanks, Welton Enterprises!

The Month of October in Pictures

Well, long time no post again, so here is a photo-documentary on our month!

A international kite-flying day near Grammy's. Good thing it was windy!
Anna did a rec gymnastics program. She was all about the socialization, and did NOT like doing the "three legged dog".

Kaleb's soccer team that Ted coached.

My husband is the BEST sport! I borrowed my costume from a friend, and then came up with the idea that Ted could be Captain Underpants. (For those of you that don't have school-age boys, this is actually a book character). It took some bribing, but he did it!

Homecoming, Wedding, Dare Devils

Well, it's been a while, so here's a smorgesboard (or however you spell that)

Homecoming in the Mt. The contest was to wear the most red. The boys at the bus stop got way more into it than the girls! Please note the red-faced chap. That'd be William.

The last of the Magill cousins got married (Matt). It was like date night for us!

Ted and his peeps (sister, grandma and mom).


This was an interesting game that Kaleb and his friend made up. Kaleb pulled his buddy as fast as he could down the hill on our backyard, and the object was to stay in the wagon the longest. They started it on the street, and Ted banished them to the grass!

Warm Weather

We've had the nicest stretch of summer weather since the kids have been back in school, of course!

We got to take advantage of it this week one day when they had early release. We visited Gov. Dodge state park, about 1/2 hour from us. The lake was practically empty, and we got to enjoy swimming for what has to be the last time this summer!

This is a different day, different lake. We went out on a friend's boat on Mendota. For those of you who know Ted's dislike of lakes, this is TRUE LOVE. SWIMMING in the lake because Anna asked him to!

Then, there was the tubing. Daddy got that honor too. On the other tube is Luke (you've heard of him --one of Anna's "dudes" from preschool, and a likely candidate for an arranged marriage)
Here were the tubers of the day. HOURS of it. By the end, very tired arms and headaches from flying OFF the tube several times!

Last day of summer...first day of school

We enjoyed our last day of summer by doing fun stuff outside.

The younger guys played on the swingset
Anna hung in the 'hood and talked about very important matters

and the older guys were on the swingset too! Ahhhh, summer. I'm so sad it's over!
Onto school!


First morning at the bus stop. Doesn't Anna looked pleased? She was actually the most excited of the three for school to start. She woke up on the first morning and said, "yesssss, First Grade!" But right before I took the picture, I told them to look like they loved each other, so Will gave her a sloppy kiss and Kaleb strangled her with his hug. Joy.

Here's our traditional first-morning-bus-stop-breakfast. In our little neighorhood (20 houses) we've got 35 kids, 26 of them school-age. We were missing some in this shot.
And what have I been up to, you ask? I've started my new part time job!! And I'm thinking it's quite possibly the PERFECT part time job. I'm a Josten's girl! I go to 30 area high schools after the sales pitch, and collect orders for class rings and graduation caps/gowns/invites, etc. and then also deliver them. It's always during the school's lunch hours, 2-3 times a week. Yup. Perf. Not to brag, but I've got mad skills delivering rings (that's all I've done so far). I'll let you know how the other stuff goes....

'09 McWebskyfeldt adventure

Every summer, we spend a weekend with this group of Elkhorn friends. We've been to Door County, Lake Delton, Lake Wisconsin. This year, we decided to do a staycation in Elkhorn. We had the use of a pool (thanks Uncle Jeff!), the kids camped in a tent in a backyard (thanks Darrenn for getting no sleep!) and we had a grand time!

Dawn's welcome
Some of the kids taking a break to eat

The McMillans, Websters, Glogovskys, and Neinfeldts. Love you guys! See ya next year!
