Strawberry Picking!

I haven't been strawberry picking since I was a kid. I went to Little Farmer's with my grandma. It was just one of those moments that I'll never forget. It's possible that I went back there after that, but those memories never stuck. So I was happy to finally have the chance to take my kids strawberry picking for their very first time. We decided to visit Walvoord's Farm just outside of Cedar Grove. The berries were big and juicy. Yum! Thanks to my friend, Debbie, for taking photos!! (My camera was out of fresh batteries).

My handsome man - Caleb

They didn't know I was taking this photo.
Obviously, it's the bride and groom.

A Weekend in June - Part 1 (Up North, at the Cottage)

Tim's cousin, Matt, got married just after Caleb finished 1st grade. So we drove up north by Tim's grandparents to visit with them for a little bit amidst the wedding celebrations. We also used their place as our sleeping quarters for two nights.

On Friday, we spent part of the afternoon at a cottage that Tim's Aunt Paula and Uncle Paul were renting for the week with their kids. There were two lakes for fishing, boating, and swimming. It was a nice place to relax before the wedding festivities.

Sonya takes on a big bike

It was a dreary, drizzly sort of day when I decided to help Sonya learn to ride her bike. We started off in the garage where it was dry. It took a while before she got the hang of pedaling, the repetitive motions of her legs pushing down and around.

Then, it was only a matter of time before she started going all by herself!

So proud of my little girl! She wanted so much to be like her big brother and has been watching the neighbor kids biking around a lot lately. I couldn't believe how quickly she has mastered her bike. Love my Sonya to pieces! <3
