Henry Vilas zoo in Madison, August 2013

We stayed overnight with some friends in Salem, WI.
On our way home, we stopped at the zoo for an afternoon of fun;).

Here are a few pictures from that day...

Lia's first haircut, August 2013

Big sister, Jessica, had just recently received a haircut; so it was pretty easy to convince Lia to follow suit...

Our two short-haired beauties.

Haircut for Jess!

Jessica rode along to get Jackson's haircut the other day; when we were there, she decided to get hers done as well.
When Jessica got into the chair, I told the gal, "just a trim please." But, Jessica was quick to ask for more than that!
Much more than that actually.

When it was all said and done, Jessica walked out of the store with a hairstyle eight inches shorter than when she walked in!

I think it makes her look older. More kindergarten ready? Possibly?

Jackson and Lia

Jason and I went to bed the other night, around 10. We had put all three kids to bed about two hours prior.
It was quiet. They were all asleep, in their beds. Or, so we thought...


Here's what we found in our bed...

Too cute to be upset. ;)

Kids' Treat Stand & Clearwater Farm

We had another successful rummage sale here this year.
And, it's nice to use this opportunity for the kids (& neighbor friends) to raise money for a cause.

Treat stand pics...

We donated the "treat stand money" to Clearwater Farm in Onalaska. This farm is completely funded by donations, membership dues, and fundraisers.

It's located just a few miles from our house; the kids enjoy going there to feed the animals. There are several chickens, and turkeys, a rooster, sheep, goats, and three donkeys.

Right now, our family only goes there to visit and relax; however, there are volunteer opportunities (community garden, animal team, grounds team) we intend to get involved with when the kids are older.
