We've been busy with work, camping and grandkids. Have some pics of them here. Rya will be a year old on the 8th but has been walking for nearly a month. She's a busy one - always on the move checking things out. Kari and Bryan brought her over the other night and we got these good pics in our back yard.
And then there are the two boys - I think the pictures say it all - they are all boy!!!! They like there tools just like their dad so you never know what they will be measuring or fixing next. Always helping mom and dad with project.
One of their favorites is playing in pails of water - so it's got to be the routine on the weekend - play in the pails of water and then when it's time to go in they just get some warm water and they get their baths in the pails in the back yard!!
We've checked out a few polka fests and enjoyed getting together with the bunch - just got home from Bird Island, MN and will be heading over to Ellsworth, WI this week. Then will be home for a while. As I mention in an earlier post we are redoing a bathroom and also tiling the backsplash in the kitchen - guess they will be getting started on that in the next week or so - so will have to get the prep work done. The bathroom project now involves a new tub so we need to tear our the sheetrock, put in the new turn, new cement board, taping and mudding before the can install the new tile. Will be nice when it's done tho.
We have a family reunion on Vicky's mother side later in July - this will be at the Grand Casino in Hinckley so we are taking the camper up there for a few days. Darin and Bethany and the boys will be going too - Kari and Bryan have to work that weekend but Kelly and Blake and Kristin might drive up for the day. Should be a good time.

We hope to get a trip to Thief River Falls in sometime in August. Want to get together with Jake and Missy and also goods friends of Darin and Bee' s - Roger and Jenny moved up there a couple years ago so we want to see them also. Roger works for Arctic Cat so a tour of the plant could be on the schedule too.
Making plans for our fall Threshing and Machinery shows in Rollag and Albany so if the weather nice we will be checking them out again this year.
