May and June 2013

We have been in Wisconsin for almost 2 months.  The weather is finally starting to be decent.  We were not able to celebrate Isaac's birthday weekend as that was the same weekend as Austine's graduation.  You just don't miss an event like that.  So, we celebrated with Isaac the next weekend.  It's hard to believe he is 2 years old.   I went to MN the first part of June to stay with Ady and Camyrn for the weekend while the girls went to a retreat in northern MN.

Then on Father's Day weekend, we took the RV and drove to Monmouth to participate in the annual golf outing that is held in memory of my brother, Bob Almaguer.  Bob loved golfing, and the outing was sold out.  Nicki, Isaac, and Bella rode down with us in the motorhome.  Friday evening before the outing, friends and family met at Elena and Jim's for potluck/pool party as we do every year.  Everyone had a great time as always.  Jim and Elena are awesome hosts!!!

A blessed event!  Kristy and Adyson were baptized this past year in the river in MN near their home.  They love Jesus so much and it shows in their lives and all they do.

One of the yearly events we also like to do with the seasonals at Chapparal Campground in Wonewoc is the canoe trip down the Kickapoo River.  It was a gorgeous day and you couldn't help but have a good time.  After returning to the campground, we all gathered at the "scenic outlook" aka Tracy and Michelle's place for a cookout and potluck.

 Happy 2nd Birthday Buddy!!

I had a wonderful Mother's Day, even though I wasn't able to spend the day with my kids.  They did get together and took an unmustachable Mother's Day selfie pic that I will always treasure!  Apparently, they were all in charge of putting on their own mustache!
