The wacky world of the Klauer Klan!

So Tuesday we went out to Carandale Farms and picked a lot of strawberries.. The boys had a blast.. I wish Nick could hav joined us in the fun. But he got to enjoy our loot! Isaac and Noah actually did very well picking the strawberries.. Though a majority went in their bellies and not the baskets. Fun Fun


Noah After he picked his first Strawberry!



After he ate a few! lol



Isaac Picking his first strawberry!



Isaac and Noagh with our LOOT!

Noah not ready to go home but about 2-3lbs heavier from all the strawberries he ate.. He was covered in Strawberry juice.

So a few nights later we cut up and ate some of the strawberries with Chocolate dip yum

Tuesday Night our Friend Kristin (Isaac's God Mother) came down with her son Thomas and Hung out from Tuesday to Saturday Morning.. It was nice spending time with them.. I miss her terribley they have been in California a while and now are going to be heading out to Japan. Sad. Hopefully I can save up enough money to get the boys and I over to visit for a couple weeks next summer. Hopefully Nick will have enough time saved up for us to go over there for 2 weeks or so. Not sure we will be able to afford it with the cost of 5 passports, 4 round trip plane tickets. But I have big hopes and dreams to go and see them. Maybe I will hit some money on a lotto ticket (probably should buy a ticket to hope for that!



Nick entertaining Thomas.



Mr Thomas!



Thomas and Noah plotting something.. They really enjoyed hanging out with each other.


Friday we went up to the Dells, we went and played at the wilderness water park.. The kids had a blast. Kristin and Thomas joined us and everyone had a great time.



Isaac all wet from playing in the water.. Also notice his new haircut.. It was so darn hot that we got it cut Thursday night along with Noah's.



My leg, Thomas, Noah and Isaac enjoying the water spouts.



This is the first time up at the dells that Noah got a vest and got to really run around and play last time he was still really wobbly. So he really enjoyed tearing it up and exploring everywhere. He was a real daddy's boy Friday. I really didn't get much face time with my sweet Noah but Isaac and I had a blast.
So this photo is him attacking the water fountain.. Spout vs Noah



Noah wins he is so darn cute!

Well after a lot of playing about 2+ hours worth. Noah running around with Daddy and Mommy hanging out with Isaac.. I even convinced Isaac to go down a big waterslide. We got to the bottom and I said "Isaac wow that was fun do you wanna do it again?" I got a big fat NO lol.. Maybe he is a little to little for the big slides. :D



So everyone taking a break enjoying lunch. Daddy and his buddy!



Isaac enjoying his lunch.

After a while we made the long trek from the Wild west area where we were all the way over to the waterdome. Had to slather the kids up with the sunscreen.



Here is Isaac, Auntie Kristin, Nick and Noah enjoying the wave pool.. Thomas and I were in the calm area I was the photo master this day. There are no photos of me but my leg. lol.



Thomas and I hanging out while everyone was in the waves. We played around in the calm water. Even though he had what I call the water walker he was more interested in letting us push him around. :D



More Noah enjoying the freedom.. He was in the water walker last time..



Auntie Kristin and Isaac enjoying the waves.



Noah going down the slide with daddy's help. I know there is a ton of documentation of this fun but I love the photos and the story through the day.






Needed to get a few photos of Thomas and his mommy!

So toward the end of the day we found 3 double intertubes that had front areas that had the plastic so the kids could sit and they were open like donuts for the back for us adults.. So 3 adults and 3 kids and 3 intertubes and we went out and rode the waves.. Everyone had a great time. Isaac sat there and told me Up, Down Up, Down with every wave that past. Noah hung out with daddy of course but he was rocked to sleep by the waves.. Pretty darn cute. Thomas and his mommy were with us but I think Thomas was still a little scared of the motion since we had him on the big slide with Isaac and I and Kristin.. Might have spooked him a little.



This is the tubes minus mine I had to get some photos after the ride.



Noah is out like a light.



Isaac had a blast..



Getting Noah out of the tube and ready to go get dinner and go home.



And so was the end of our day at the wilderness. Isaac loves the water just like his mom. Come June 25th he is going to start his swim lessons I can't wait to see how that goes. I hope you enjoyed a brief summary of our week.. Becuase we had a Blast!! And I loved documenting every min. of it. Now I just need to figure out how to document and be in the photos too.
Have a good weekend and a Happy Father's Day!

Well I had a list of things I wanted to get done.. I wanted to run to Burlington Coat factory to pick up another pair of maternity shorts.. 1 pair wasn't cutting it. Wanted to run to Motherhood maternity and pick up a couple more maternity tank tops.. 2 weren't cutting it. Needed to get the van's A/C fixed.. Still working on that one.. Sometimes it would be nice to know how to do a ton of things.. Car repair, house repair, electrician, plumber, and anything else that would save me the time of being on someone else's schedule or price list. But Pretty much got everything done I wanted but just waiting on the van so I can run to the store and get the one pesky ingredient I forgot for tonights dinner!! Provolone cheese missed the grocery basket this go round.. Making yummy Basil pesto Chicken Paninis YUMMO (to quote Rachel Ray)

As for the weekend Nick had Drill so it was just the boys and I here. Saturday we didn't really do anything but hang out.. But on Sunday we cleaned and then went to the Zoo with my SIL Mary and BIL Kris and their children.. We had a good time.. Isaac got to see all his favorite animals.. We didn't get to feed the goats aside from tossing in the cone and getting out of there.. They were in a bad mood on Sunday! But it was nice to spend some time with Kris and Mary and the kids.. I really didn't get much time with the kids since I was chasing our two around.. I missed a chance to snuggle with the baby.. Sad.. Always next time.. Well bUsy week ahead keep checking back..


Isaac looking like a broken necked penguin and his Cousin Troy as a Penguin! Too Cute!

Well just updating that we had an ultrasound Friday and think we saw boy parts flash across the screen a couple times. So we are going with the assumption that we have an Adam Michael due October 19th.



This is him Sucking his thumb.

Saturday was my cousin Danielle Bridal shower.. So we drove down from Madison to Cassville and the boys hung out with Grandma and Grandpa Klauer with Nick while I went to Prairie du chien for the bridal shower. When I got back Noah was taking a nap and Isaac wanted to go to the fire hall so Grandpa and Grandma and I went to the fire hall and checked out all the trucks.. He loves going to see all the fire trucks and getting his own personal tour.



Grandpa Klauer and Isaac with the firehelmets on!



Isaac driving the Fire truck.

Afterwards we went back and cooked dinner out on the grill and played outside for a bit.

Noah playing outside.. Brr it was chilly.



Inside after dinner!




Long day for Isaac without a nap.. All Cuddly with Grandpa Klauer.

Sunday-- I was hoping to paint the boy's room today but it was all cold and rainy so that was a no go.. It will have to wait a few weekends.. Since drill is next weekend. Bummer!

Wow what a busy weekend.. I am still trying to catch up on everything else. Well May 28th was Nick and I's 6 years together.. We celebrated by going to see Jeff Dunham at the Alliant Energy Center on Friday. He is hilarious. He is a ventriloquist with puppets named Walter, Achmed, Peanut and Jose the Jalapeño. Well those are the 4 he brought to the show plus he encored with Bubba J which was hilarious because everyone in the audience knew Bubba J's lines so they were reciting them.. Jeff said it was weirdest show he's done.. Funny!



This is Jeff with Peanut ( the purple thing) and Jose is in the other hand.. Sorry it is hard to see but I had it at full zoom and no Flash to actually get the photo.. We were in the 2nd to last row.. We could touch the rafters if we wanted.. lol. All in all it was a fun date night though.

Saturday and Sunday we hit up menards and got some paint for the living room. Ended up getting too light of a green which will be our playroom and downstairs hall once it is finished.. We went back and got a spiced Vinegar color.



This is the before while I was taping with the help of the boys..



Me having fun writing on the wall in the hall.



Sorta hard to see it was night time so not much extra lighting from outside.. I will do another one once I get my new sheer curtains for the windows. But this is more or less the after shot minus the finishing touches.. :D

The week has been pretty quiet, been busy catching up on all the fun stuff that got passed over to do the painting. As for our next painting mission we are going to tackle the boys room. It is going a nice butter cream yellow maybe a wee bit darker yellow. But we will have awesome new curtains in there too that will have the darkening backing (made with love by my mother in law! She rocks!) I am hoping maybe this Sunday we can paint it but we have a pretty busy weekend.

Friday (aka Tomorrow) we have a doctors appt for an Ultrasound for the baby. I am half way at 20 weeks.. Just 20 more to go.. Plus on Friday we need to return 2 cabinets we bought that once home I was not too happy with so BACK they GO! Maybe I will get to Walmart also and get my living room curtains tomorrow. hmm busy busy.

Saturday we are going to head down to Cassville to visit with Grandma and Grandpa Klauer. The boys and Nick are going to hang out all day.. Around 1 I will boogie to my cousin Danielle's Bridal Shower. Then head back afterwards for dinner. and then we will head home close to bed time!

Sunday relaxing day maybe painting.. Depends on Energy levels.. :D Well I will try to get on tomorrow and put some Ultrasound photos up of the sweet new baby.
Have a good Day
