The circus is in town!

 
The circus was in town tonight and of course we had to go. This is our 4th year in a row going, I'm thinking next year we will skip it. I really do love going and seeing the neat animals and all the cool acts. I am truly amazed at the people who work at the circus and the talent they have.
 This year we didn't ride on an elephant either, we were going to have Conner hold a snake and have his picture taken, but it was too expensive. They had a few new acts this year and some old ones, but it was nice to go with Josh this year also. He has never been to the circus and he never got to go because he was working 2nd shift. So it was nice he was finally able to come with us.
 
 
 
So, boys and girls of all ages welcome to the circus, lol, I can practically say it just like the lady that has been saying it the last 3 years. Anyways, enjoy the circus pics and videos. ;)

In front of an old historical home in Birchwood, WI


 We got a nice blessing last weekend. The playground set my dad built for my old school (G.L.C.A), was given to him. So Josh and my dad went to work, brought it to our house put it together and added new swings. Its great and the boys love to swing!! We talked about this last weekend how my dad built this for my school when I was little and he never excepted to get it back and to give it to his grandkids. Pretty neat! He blessed the school by building it now they blessed him by giving it.
 Its amazing how that works and how God provides that way!



 Camping in the backyard and a movie!!










Cleaning house day!
 
That's it for now!

Some changes and warm weather!!

The warm weather is here, not sure if it will last a full week, but we'll see. I definitely was ready for the snow to leave, but not sure if Im looking forward to the hot hot days of summer.
   Well Coco are pet Guinea pig passed away last Friday, :( Conner and I cried, I thought for sure carter was going to take it hard, but he wasn't too sad. Coco was a nice lil buddy that we took for walks, went swimming with and shared our apples with, lol. He was a cutie. Now we need to find our own house and get a dog, I would love to get a German Shepard or a golden retriever.
  So the change thats happening in our house is that Josh got a different job. I found out about it from a friend from my Mops group and who also goes to our church, and told Josh about it he went in for a interview and a few weeks later had to decide if he should take it, well he decided to take it and he starts in 2 weeks. He will be working at Northstar Bison (the Graese's business), he will be working in Shipping, taking over Sean Graese's job. I am excited for him, he really wanted a change in jobs. So please pray for us as we get used of this change. O and he is on 1st shift again, which will be nice.
  So anyways there is alot that happened this month and somethings I am probably forgetting to Blog about, sorry.
   My Mops group's last meeting is this Friday, it was a wonderful time and I have met alot of new moms through this journey. I will be involved in the Steering Committee again this fall as long as we have enough volunteers.
   Also, I will be in a 5k color run/ walk benefit for the boys and girls club in Rice Lake with a friend and also a walking benefit in Butternut, WI for MS ( I felt passionate about this walk, because of my grandma having MS and for all the moms currently dealing with MS and raising there kids at the same time).
 
  I just became a distributor for Essential Oils if you have questions or want to order something let me know, I can order wholesale!! ;)
  Thats all for now! God Bless!
