Family and Fun!

July 5, 2008

They don't call it Sunset Strip for nothing.

Ashton loves to go on boat rides (aka 'a boat a vide') and driving the boat is just icing on the cake!


Ashton got a new guitar for his birthday from Uncle Shane, Dia and Breck and Breck was kind enough to teach him how to play! :)

Ready to set sail!

The 4th of July!

Walter? Nope!


The pontoon is loaded for fireworks viewing from the middle of the lake.

The Sparby's Invaid the Cabin

July 3, 2008
The Sparby's invaided the cabin again this summer and a good time was had by all. Lots of fishing, singing around the campfire, late nights, good food and laughs!
Definitely not a shortage of boats here...canoe, catamaran, small sailboat not pictured. :)

Breck and Ashton had so much fun!!!

Cabin Sweet Cabin!


July 1, 2008
This trip home we were able to send an entire week at the cabin with Joel & Elaine. Matt, Jodie and Scottlynn joined us for the first couple of nights and we enjoyed each other's company, games of cards and strawberry yum yums!

Hard to believe, but Brad graduated from high school this year. My how time flies! This picture of all 6 Greer cousins with Great-Grandpa Hinz was taken at his graduation party.

Home Sweet Home

Our annual trip 'home' started with lunch in Eagan, MN with Joel, Matt, Jodie, Scottlynn and Tracy and then a 4-hour car trip to Waunakee, WI to see the Sparbys. Although our time in Wisconsin was brief, we managed to fit a lot in...visits with Great-Grandma Wagner and Great-Grandma Sparby, a couple of trips to 'Jolene's Store', an attempt at a professional picture of all 6 grandsons (a hilarious and chaotic adventure), visits with Heike, Kristie and families and even a Supertuesday show!

Ashton enjoying dinner with his cousins. He had a blast following them around and copying everything they did.


Like father like son...Not the fastest eater of the bunch, Ashton was left to finish his dinner alone.


June 28, 2008

We celebrated Tracy's birthday by making her prepare dinner. At least she got a cake! :)


June 29, 2008

Great-Grandma Sparby got to meet Carson for the very first time!

Ashton adores his new monorail. He likes to have us open all of the doors (thanks to Aunt Tracy) to see if there are any people in there.

Bath time!

Carson is growing like a weed...14 lbs. at his 2 month check-up.

We broke down and bought Ashton a real skateboard. He hasn't mastered making it move yet, but loves to jump off it and turn it on its side.
