Nettesheim “Campout”

August 22, 2018 admin No Comments

Netty Campout in Our backyard during the last week of summer!! We had everyone over and watched Jumanji and Jumanji 2. We made smores and sat around the gas fire. We shut things down around 11:30 and the kids and Matt slept over.

We had waffles the next morning and hung out most of the day. Emily actually had a seizure that morning and had to go to the hospital. We had their kids here and Michelle had them drop Becker off to. It was a crazy day worrying about Emily and finding out that she has a brain tumor and still has a bad heart :(. Life is so short and you never know what tomorrow is going to bring.

Grandpa passed away around 11:30pm on Monday August 13th.

We got word a little earlier that day that the hospice nurse didn’t think he would live much longer. Ben and I went over around 4pm and visited. He was awake but uncomfortable and coudn’t talk. We talked to him and shared some memories and love and said our goodbyes. We got word late that night that he had passed. We will miss Fun and Silly Grandpa Becker. Grateful for our knowledge that families can be together forever!

We still managed lots of fun in that time:

Millie and Tiago have become the neighborhood wanderers. They are always outside looking for friends.

I read a few books!

This guy learned how to take selfies:

Cali got her braces touched up:

The Hancocks came and they all put on a circus show:

Packer still wakes up before everyone – usually he makes a lego creation while he waits for everyone to wake up. And his creations inspire the rest of us to give it a try:

A few movie night sleepovers in the basement:

I got my bike out for the Relief Society bike ride. Then i rode 3 mornings on my own before we left on vacation.

We went to the pond with the Hancocks and we brought Bennett and Ellie and Julia:

Tiago is learning to ride the hoverboard – look at that face of pure joy!!

The Friday before our California trip I left in the morning to get the oil changed and car cleaned and errands done… and then I ended up spending the entire day dealing with a broken van :(. I did the oil change at Walmart and when I left the shop the van died on the side of the road… I spent over an hour trying to get help from Walmart or JIffyLube or Larkin Tire… and then I finally had it towed .2 miles to a hidden car shop. The guys there were great and fixed the Mass Air Flow Filter Sensor. So I took my van and my bill back to Walmart and spent the afternoon getting them to pay for the damages that they made while checking my air filter. FUN FUN FUN. I did see Aunt Carol while I was there… and a few others I know. In the end I am grateful that I got my money back and grateful that the shop was able to get the van fixed before the weekend so we could go on our trip.

The kids survived at home without me:

I took a few of the kids to Kelsey Avila’s wedding reception!!

And BRADEN EGGERS came home from his mission in Sao Paulo Brasil. We couldn’t be there but looking forward to a week at the cabin with him:

And we had balloon fights the next day with Noah:

And Kelsey came and we went to see all of our peops: We stopped to see Jana and Sean and Cove, We brought Aunt Di a birthday cupcake while she recouped from knee surgery, and we stopped in to see how aunt Carol and the puppies were doing!

That night Ben and I went out to the RSL game. Delayed for lightning. We got home super late and finished packing for the Cali trip!

After the family vacations we had a much needed Sunday. Rose practiced braiding hair and Everyone took naps on my new blanket.

On Monday we watched Gus and Dagny so that Joel could take Megan out for her Birthday!

And on the last Day of July we had Rob and Raeanne’s Family over in the morning with the Hancocks!

And in the afternoon we had 4 of Ryan and Mary’s kids and Hancocks and Neighbors:

And we ended the night singing Karaoke on dads new microphones:

THAT’S HOW WE DO SUMMER!!!

BABIES BABIES BABIES

All the Babies were born this summer!!

Cove was born the end of June:

Becker was born in July while we were in Wisconsin:

Emily had a lot of heart issues and is still having them but Becker has been very healthy and Emily is getting a Pacemaker put in so we are very hopeful that it will get her heart back up where she can return to work and taking care of her family.

Right now Emily and her fam are living at Mom and Dads. So is Savannah.

And then baby Mae was born!

It really has been baby heaven!!

Our last day at the Rushes!! The kids woke up wanting to do EVERYTHING 1 more time!

Packer, Luca and Lalo took the Peddle Boat out and went all the way across the lake and got stuck trying to come back. All of our group went out in kayaks looking for them. A fishing boat had found them and was bringing them in 🙂

Our family went to PC Junction for lunch! We found our old sign and then we signed the new Netty sign. We had fun exploring and eating:

We had a rainy afternoon. Adults chatted while kids swam or found other things to do:

And ended the night at Malibu Moo’s!

Thursday, Al Johnsons, Adult Dinner, Creepy Cabin

August 12, 2018 admin No Comments

The kids love these carvings at Al Johnsons! and this year we loved walking across the street to the lake while we waited for our turn to eat:

We all chowed on some pancakes and had a lovely time. Our youngest might have chowed on straight butter (eek)

And the goats failed us for the first time :(, But we still managed to get some cool shots in.

And then back to the Pool and Pool Table for the afternoon:

That Evening we went out for dinner with Mom and Dad and their kids: Adult Time!

And then home to entertain the kids with the walk to the Creepy Cabin!

OFF to the FARM!!

The first thing you do when you get there is BOTTLE FEED THE BABY GOATS!! It’s the best!

The big goats and other animals eat corn kernels. It’s fun to watch the kids get the nerve to feed them. Tiago didn’t know to keep his hand flat so he got bit right in the beginning but that didn’t stop him.
