The summer comes to an end...and school begins!

 Buddies!

 Hi!!!

 Yes, Aubrey learned to work the weed-wacker...and she's loving it!

 At the Brewers game with Uncle Nate!

 Aubrey and Lexie ride in style back to the van!

 She learned to tie her shoes!

 Favorite thing to do...

 Lexie likes to pull up a chair or two on the front steps and watch

 Allie's new bike

 Enjoying a lazy morning

 First day of school!  I'm so sad that my camera lens is smudged!

 Ready for First Grade for Allie and K5 for Aubrey!

 Loading up!

 Photo shoot with Jayden and Justus!

 Getting things put away with Mrs. Mueller

 We are so blessed to have such awesome teachers for our daughters!

 All settled in!

 Allie with her new teacher Mrs. Strack!  Allie is upstairs this year, with desks!  She's pretty excited!

Just bringing Lexie and Catie home this time...kinda quiet in the van!

The Bauer Family in Green Bay!

 Catie is taking her first trip into Lambeau Field!

 Yeah, they're both in awe

 I bought Catie a birthday shirt...now she's festive for the Packer Partners reception.  It's good to be a Packer fan!

 Due to the lock out and changes in the practice schedule, a few Packer alumni came to chat with the crowd instead of current players.  Gilbert Brown cracked me up!  Miss that guy!

 Loading up to walk over to training camp

 Didn't get there quick enough to get a good spot to watch...crowds are always packed to catch a glimpse of the Super Bowl champs!

 3 generations of Packer fans!

 This homeowner on Lombardi Ave paints his fence something new each season

 Hanging out back at the hotel

 Cate isn't feeling well...

 Loaded up to head to Bay Beach!

 Allie was a good sport and hung out with Lexie while Josh and Aubs rode the other rides

 Oops, out of order here...Lexie is trying to make Catie feel better

 Crazy Daddy let Aubs drive!

 Just a little little bit taller and Aubrey could have rode the Zippin Pippin too! The had measure above the line and didn't quite make it. She was so super sad!

 Allie and Josh rode it...no tears but a lot of screaming. It's a good thing Josh can handle this cause I sure can't!

 All snuggled in for a little rest in mom and dad's bed

 My sick little Cater...

 Turns out she really wasn't feeling well all week...she has roseola and a double ear infection!  We missed out on celebrating her namesake Great Great Aunt Catherine's 88th birthday in Michigan.

Pretty ugly looking but it didn't seem to bother her at all!
