Quack quack...I liked the candy the costume wasn't so bad after a while.

Corn

The Indian corn is doing well in the heat!!

Fair

Marshall spent the day at the fair!!  He loves being outside. He sat in the bleachers and watched the cattle show.

Uncle Alex

Marshall went and met Uncle Alex at the airport. He has been gone on the road for his job since January. Alex was very excited to see him!

Boat

Marshall went on his first boat trip Saturday. He really enjoyed getting in the water. 

Great Great Aunts

Marshall was a special very visitor for some very special people in Aledo. We stopped for visit with his Great Great Aunt Darlene and Emogene. He really liked to play with Aunt Darlene's cane.

Baseball

Terry played in the alumni baseball game in Saint Ansgar. I of course did not have my camera in the right place at the right time to get a picture of Terry playing. But I have some pictures of Marshall. Sunday we cooked out and celebrated Father's Day. 

Terry got a new ride for Marshall for Father's Day!! Marshall enjoyed his first trip.

Rhubarb

Marshall spent the day with Spencer and Haley doing a lot of this.

While Drue spent the day at church making pies for Rhubarb fest.  The church ladies made 450 pies.  If you like Rhubarb and want to try it any shape or form Aledo is the place to go!

Terry spent the day at work.  I do not have any pictures of this.

Another new trick

Marshall was so excited to be home. He showed us what he can do now. I'm beginning to think he is part monkey!

Zoo

Bentley came to visit so we decided to try out the zoo. Marshall really liked the elephants. Bentley liked looking around at everything!

Summer kick off

Summer officially started for Drue on Thursday!! To start summer off right we went on a mini vacation. We started off by staying Thursday night with Grandma and Grandpa Sponheim. Friday we left for Minneapolis. Some of the highlights of the trip were the Sea Aquarium, SPAM museum, and Twins game which they won! 

Thanks to everyone who put us up for the night and fed us! 

Wedding

Well apparently Terry did not want to go to the wedding. So instead of getting ready we went to the emergency room. Five stitches and three hours late were on the way to the reception.

This was last weekend. For some reason it didn't post.

This ones for Grandma and Grandpa

Grandma and Grandpa this is what Marshall is supposed to do when he calls you.

Reason we get stitches

This is the home made ladder (picnic table with bar stool) that Terry was standing on the top of to clean out the gutter. This was happening during a severe thunderstorm with some strong winds. Now you know why we end up in the emergency room with stitches. 

Kitty

Spent sometime outside with the kitty

First find of the season!

Can you guess what it is?

Swinging

Enjoying the great day outside

Birthday

I'm a little late but here are a few highlights of his birthday party last weekend.

Toy

Terry's new toy. It might warm up enough to use it some day

New Game

Josie came to visit and taught Marshall one of her favorite games.  She calles it the naked baby game.  Marshall looks so big compared to baby Josie.

It is official we have a walker.  I will try and get a video posted soon of his new moves.  I attached a few other videos that I tried to upload earlier that would not work :)

Great Grandma

Marshall had fun at Great Grandmas. He cleaned all the towels out of the drawer for her. He also helped to make apple pie.

Who can guess what's in the garbage bags?

Hint: we cleaned out the freezer

Birthday

Big day today. Marshall turned 1!

Marshall helping with dishes

New ride

Nice day for a walk...apparently Bella got tired.

Supper At the Sponheim household

For dessert ice cream

Wonderful weather

First picnic outside! Bella thought she should join us.

New summer fun!

We got home this weekend to find a present for Marshall. He has some new summer fun. He was not sure what to think of them. This will be a good project for him and great Grandpa
