Paddle Boats on Biersdorf

Ready for our Family outing

On the paddle boats on Biersdorf lake

Baby ducks

There was a lot of ducks on this lake.  We saw a fox, dragon fly, ducks while at the lake.

Hanging out and enjoying the sunshine for the 20 minutes that it was out.

Lake Hut

Oohh Laa Laa

WE enjoyed an ice cream bar from the lake Hut and then played at the play ground after that.  It was a nice fun afternoon together as a family.

Climbing up on the rocks and vines on our walk

A castle near the lake in Hamm.  We drove right past this the first time and never saw it till we came back the other way.  Pretty cool.

Here is our new pet..... It likes to eat bugs.  Our Venus fly trap has sucked the juices of a couple of fly's and a weavel.  If the bugs are already dead when you put them in it wont stay closed and wont do anything but if you put a live one in that crawls around then it works.....Kinda morbid in a way I guess but a cool science plant for us to observe.

We got this at a store here called Hela

What was left of the weavel I found

Our yard and garden.  Everything is full and lush right now.  It is really pretty around here....but also wet humid and cool. :)  What you have to deal with for beautiful lush greeness.

June and Father's day

Here are some flowers from our garden that were really pretty that I decorated our table with.

This is the boys eating salad with zesty Italian dressing.....It is that good :)

If we would move off base we would have moved here.  There was a German home for rent that was about 50 euro out of the budget plus the drive to school everyday for Gideon this next school year that we decided not to do it, but we loved it.  It was in-between the villages of Speicher, Zemmer and Priest and in the middle of farms and forest.  It is fun to look back on different ideas we have had so that is why I am posting about it.  So here it is.  

We moved these chairs outside because I found some other ones from thrift for inside and made a little dining area for us to eat on our patio.  I love it!!  I just love being able to go outside on a nice day....they are few and far between lately...... and just sit and read or play a game or eat.

This is Gideon and I Saturday night decorating daddy's car for father's day.  He had to go to work at 3 in the morning on Father's day so we thought we would give him all his love first thing.

The boys made a massage shirt (description below)

Love notes.....yes that is daddy fat in the picture from Gideon.  He thought it was so funny :)

Card book I made my hubby

A container full of M&M's, Almond Joys and jolly rancher suckers.

Here is the massage shirt.  Full of roads and adventure for the boys and their cars to play on while daddy wears it and gets a massage :)

Daddy your so nutty.  Thanks for being our Jolly Rancher.  You bring our family so much Joy. Love, Us

Here is the card book I made him.  Each time you flipped you would see a small picture and then some word of why we love Him.  I just bought a deck of cards (52 in a deck) printed out wallet sized photos from our pictures and cut to size and printed reasons of why we love him.  I really enjoyed making this but if you modge podge it make sure it is completely dry before handling.  I was too much in a hurry and it wrecked some of the photos.

AFN news update on CPR

Check out my video on the news! :)

AFN update on my class

Here is an interview I gave for AFN while I taught my 7 hour CPR/First aid/AED class last Saturday.  Kinda fun.  All 6 people passed with High Marks.  I love teaching and getting involved with the community.  I especially love the EMS system and hope to continue in that path of knowledge through out my life.
