Fish Fry Anyone??

On Saturday our neighbor Shelly cooked a good old fashioned fish fry for all of the neighbors. It was delicious! I for one am not a fish fan, but I loved her fish fry's. Colin and all the kids ate every last bite. We had a great evening spending time with our neighbors and hanging out at the bonfire at Tony and Laura's house until after midnight. Once the kids were in bed it was adult time at the fire!



The best part of the evening was when Shelly decided to show the kids how to do the Peanuts Dance. Here is a video clip of them dancing.

Thanks for a great evening everyone!

Our Nephew has Arrived!!!

Brian Matthew Geach arrived on Friday, August 15th at 12:31 am. We were able to head up to Ashland, WI to see him first thing Friday morning. He is just adorable. Being an Auntie is wonderful! Colin is truly in love with him. When Brian would start to fuss Colin would say "It's OK Baby Cousin" or start singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to him and he would stop fussing. It was so cute. Jason and Melissa are doing great. Such a cute little family.

One cute thing... When Melissa was pregnant Colin started calling Baby Cousin Fred, so when we told him that Baby Cousin was born and that his name was Brian he said "No, I call him Fred." Until today he called him Fred and wouldn't call him anything else than that. Pretty cute.

Here are a few pictures from the last few days.

The happy family

Here is a video of Colin singing to Brian- "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"

After the hospital we enjoyed time back at the Hurley house 4 wheeling. Colin's favorite thing to do in Hurley.

Way too long

Did you think the Geach Family disappeared? We didn't. I guess I just took a little summer break from blogging. But we are back! The summer has been great. From our last blog we said we were getting a puppy, and we did! Buster arrived into our family in late May and has been a delight. Well, most of the time. Overall he really has been a very good puppy. He's getting bigger by the day. Not so sure he'll hit 95 pounds like Tucker, but he might be close. Colin named him Buster. He was set on his name being Buster so we went with it. For those that are Pooh and Tigger fans, there is a little dog on the show named Buster, so that's where he got it from.

Rather than going backwards several months I'm just going to post a few pictures from recent events and move forward.

Enjoy!

Here is a picture of Buster from back on July 14th. I guess that's the most recent one I have of him, oops.

A big hit this summer has been Batter Batter Baseball that Nanny (my mom) purchased for Colin. He loves it! I think we might have a future Twins player in the making. Scott and I have also had a great time playing with it.

Colin has enjoyed spending a lot of time outside this summer. He is a little fish that can't seem to stay out of the water. EB bought him a slip-n-slide (old school!!) for his birthday. He loves playing in it.

Bubbles- need I say more?

Great Grandma turned 80!!

Colin attended his first Twins game. We went with 10 other kids and there parents. Our neighbors, The Libby's, were also there. Carson and Peyton are two of Colin's best friends. Check out the cute Circle Me Bert signs Aimee made.

Colin, Peyton and Carson playing on the slip-n-slide this past Sunday.

The next big event is the arrival of Baby Cousin. He was due on Sunday but hasn't quite decided to make his big debut yet. We are all anxiously awaiting his arrival. I promise to post pictures as soon as we meet him. Colin can hardly wait!

Happy Summer Everyone! Enjoy these last few weeks.
