August Fun

We've had a fairly busy August, so I figured I'd just throw a bunch of pics on here to share them and get kind caught up. I still have more photos on my camera that I might add at a later date!

Random sibling photo from in July

Momma and Alena dancing while singing Camp songs at VBS!



Eating an ice cream cone at VBS

Alena got to swim at the boat landing on Birch Road. Of course, Grandma Hawkins' dog, Baylee joined in on the fun! They're sometimes like two peas in a pod.

And Levi looked on while Alena swam. He had his time, too, since we went a couple of times that week.

Alena got to hold a toad in Grandpa Cance's backyard. She thought it was pretty special, and so did we :)

Every time she goes to her Grandpa Cance's house, she finds the joker hat and puts it on. And, yes, that is dirt on her face. She is always dirty, it seems!

Checking out Grandpa's one remaining Corvette!

She wants to drive it already!!

Eating some lunch on Uncle Steve's pontoon at his cabin.

There are lots of rocks in the swimming area and dock, and Alena enjoyed picking them up and throwing them! We just try to keep her from chewing on the little ones! She had a blast just goofing around! She even went on a tube ride with mama and had a super duper thrill!

Levi just used said tube to take a nap. Cute little guy!!

Random funny shot of Alena while at Lake Wissota.

The fam overlooking Lake Wissota. We camped there for 3 nights. More pics from that trip to come! Lots of fun!!!

Our first family bike ride to Grandpa & Grandma Cerkas' house. They were great on the way there, but Levi screamed the whole way back :( We're hoping to do more of this in the future!

Levi and I went to La Crosse last Saturday to meet the newest member of the family! Auntie Ashley & Uncle Jake welcomed Quinn Dorothy Colstad on August 26th! She was 7lbs 15oz, 21 inches. She seemed so super duper tiny to me! Levi was royally intrigued by this little girl. He did hold her hand and it was so sweet!

Uncle Jake & Auntie Ashley were commenting on how big Levi was, and this was Levi's response... putting on the cute show! Just wait until Quinn is my age!!
