Summer Fun!

What have we been up to this summer (which is going by way too quickly and not nearly hot and sunny enough for us beach bums!)?

Olivia's 8th Birthday Party

Mike, G, O, and four friends braved the elements and slept in tents!  

It was a beautiful night and we got to watch a movie outside by the campfire.  

Our neighbors were patient enough not to call the police on the very LOUD "American Idol" show coming from our deck!

Cheering on Genavieve's Softball Team, the

 T.O.B Breeze.  

G usually plays short stop or third base; she has even had the chance to pitch!  

It's so much fun watching her team who has come so far in one summer!

Swimming - we love hanging out at pools!

Ugh...the roof!  

This was one week during which I'm certain Mike and I 

communicated only through imperative statements! :)

Logan K's Baptism

I know I'm a little biased because I'm the auntie - 

but come on...cutest baby in the world!!

T.O.B First Annual Brewer Outing

We're hoping that the Second Annual Outing is not 200 degrees!!  

Despite the heat, we had a fabulous time with the T.O.B. crew and the kids were real troopers! 

And, the Brew Crew really pulled through with an exciting winning game! 

Genavieve's 11th Birthday Party

It was so fun to have all the Kopesky Granddaughters together.  Logan N. wasn't very convinced she wanted her picture taken initially...it's amazing what a little candy can do, though!

Noah's Ark with 

Friends

G, Garrett, and Karsten all went down The Point of No Return!

Mike's First Trip to Memorial Union

We spent a fun day golfing and enjoying Madison with Lea and Casey!  

Plus, I got a free tutorial on setting up this blog!  (Thank you, Lea!) 

By the way, the second hardest situation to be pregnant in and thus unable to enjoy a cocktail/beer - visiting your alma mater!!!!

Fourth of July

For the fourth, we traveled to Three Lakes, WI, with Zwettlers, Fawvers, Zuithoffs, and Manda and Steve. Olivia proved to be quite the fisherman, while Genavieve is becoming an accomplished boater!! We also enjoyed tubing, floating, bags, campfires, and a holiday parade!

A New Project

Mike and I are attempting to start a family blog. We hope to keep it up to date so that all of you can follow on our family adventures!
