Dells Weekend

I got the girls some small cute gifts to have fun with this weekend. And they got some stuff from the hotel. We had a blast going down the water slides and swimming in the wave pool. The boys played basketball in the water all weekend. We also went to a casino, my first time.

David's Graduation and Party

The Farm

This summer we built a large fire pit to have bonfires and parties at. Thus far David has used it more than Dan and I have. :)

Jake's Prom

Jake took Rena, a Japanese exchange student, to prom this year. Our house was the picture house, and we

had 10 kids over to take pics in their lovely dresses and tuxedos.

Volunteering Withing at Relay for Life

I am part of a volunteering orgainization that is called Volunteering Within. This year I went with them to Relay for Life. It is a 12 hour run/walk from 6pm to 6am, where you must have a team member on the track at all times. They also have themed laps, and games and food on the side. The goal of the relay is to raise money for the American Cancer Society. I ended up sleeping through most of the laps. This year in La Crosse it was held in our own UWL rec center.

Locks for Love

This January I got my hair chopped off for locks for love. I had been holding off on cutting my hair for a while. I think mom was more relieved than I was that I finally got it cut.

Globetrotter Game

We went to this game during Christmas vacation.

Gingerbread House Contest

We attended a gingerbread house making contest and we won the "Most Decorated" gingerbread house award. It was a ton of fun and I hope to be involved in it again next year.

Halloween

This Halloween Jake, Dan, and I were very busy. We volunteered at a Run/Walk to help the disabled children of the La Crosse area. We also helped out at

the White Hall Trick or Treat and Trek or Treat which I was instrumental in running in the Hall. We all had a very good time and felt very satisfied in making one of our favorite holidays into a great volunteering experience.

Jake's Homecoming

Jake went to homecoming with Aimee, the exchange student from Germany.

Jake's Football Games

Dressed Up Dan

Cranberryfest

In September Dans family always goes up to Warrens WI to go to this festival. We always have a great time exploring the craft fair, flea markets there, and the parade. But most of all it is fun to hang out with everyone who comes up to the land they own up there.
