The Final Blog of the Summer - Fall Begins This Week! UGH!

Ok, I think this is the last blog entry...Megan, shown here at her Bachelorette Party in August, who is my good friend's (Sandy Berg whom always goes to Fest with us) daughter, was married on Sept. 13th (Keith's bday too). I've known Megan since 1996 (she was only 10 when we met), so I felt like my own daughter was being married. It was beautiful!! Here are the Wein Women enjoying yet another pontoon ride with our lovely Father-in-law. He's such a LUCKY guy! LOL! And yes, I'm the black sheep of that family too...believe it or not! Here's also another pic of Sami on the boat, trying to keep the sun out of her eyes! And then, finally...two Fest pics: Jay & I and then the Scheibe Women - WE ROCK! Even if we're drunk! LOL! With all that being said (in these three blogs!), it appears that we've had an enjoyable summer! And we have! I hope you all have had as much fun as we have! I hope everyone is happy and healthy! Take care and keep in touch! Much love to you all! - Keith, Allie, Tyler & Sami

Needed a 2nd Entry - it's been soooooo long! LOL!

More Pics - Our family on the 4th of July - kicking back having our usual backyard bonfire, the kids on the pontoon during one of our cottage weekends, Keith & Allie at the Brewer game (nice Brat!) (oh, and boy, have the Brewers taken a nose dive lately or what!?! WTH? I'd rather watch paint dry!), Tyler with is 5 stitches from a rough day at the playground - the jungle gym won! And yet, I'm still not done posting pics! I could do this all night! LOL!

I'm Finally Back - Enjoy my loooooong blog entry

So much has happened since my last entry! Sheesh. Where did the summer go? I have many, many Fest pics I could attach here. Not sure what is allowed! LOL! I'll post them in my next entry since this appears to only allow 5 pics per blog entry. I had my 20-year class reunion and had an absolute blast with some girlfriends at the family cottage a few days before and then had an even better time at the actual reunion! What fun and great to see everyone again! Then, went to a Brewer game in August with our group of friends - an annual event (see pic on next blog entry) and spent most of our weekends at the cottage too. I think we were home maybe 2-3 weekends only, and that was at the beginning of the summer when we had to attend graduation parties. It's nice to be back HOME and to spend a little time on the computer again. Keith is now into the bow hunting season and soon will be gun hunting! Then it will be xmas before we know it! Again, where does the time go? Tyler started First Grade this year and is learning to read. I love these days. He's so interested in reading. It's great. Sami memorizes his reading books, so she thinks she can read now too! LOL! Damn funny. She just had her 4th birthday. Missed the 4K cut off by 10 days, so still in her Preschool room. I'll attach some photos now. Hoping everyone is doing well. Take care.

Happy Labor Day!!

Hello All!
I hope this finds you having a relaxing labor day weekend as it comes to an end. I know I sure am!
I have a little information I'd like to pass along everyone's way. As some of you may know, I am in the process of planning my parents 25th wedding anniversary party for next June. Their anniversary is on the 16th, which falls on a Tuesday, so the party will be on Saturday June 20th, 2009. It will be held in Marshfield at the Jr. Expo Building at the Fairgrounds. It holds 700 people so there will be plenty of room. It also comes with a kitchen and restrooms, which is a major plus. I will also be saving a block of rooms at either 1 or 2 hotels here in Marshfield for those traveling from out of town. Food and drink will be provided, as well as some sort of entertainment. I am in the process of finding a reasonable dj in the area, however, my grandfather said he'd cover this portion...so hmmmm?? :) Any suggestions, let me know!! Also, I know this was a long time ago, but if any of you can remember the song that they first danced to or any songs that would be good to play, let me know and I will start a list.

Anyway, that's all for now! Mark your calenders!! And if you guys could let others in your family know who aren't participating in this blog, that would be greatly appreciated. :) Invites will be sent out mid-April or so.

Enjoy the rest of your summer!! :)
Love,
Jamie, Steven, & Andrew
