Happy Birthday To an AMAZING girl

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG 7 YEAR OLD.  Sarah, you are a wonderful big sister to Ben and we are so blessed to have you as our daughter.  We can't believe it has been 7 years since that special (and long) day when you were born,  Stay kind, sweet and beautiful inside and out forever.

WE LOVE YOU SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH.

Me and my guy

Happy Halloween.

Fall Clean Up

Last weekend we headed to "winterize" the cabin.  We had to rake leaves, take the boat and dock out and organize the garage.  No worries, we had plenty of time to jump in the leaves, play some Mexican Train dominos and enjoy some great food and drinks.

Motelet Family at the Cabin

Late in August, the Motelet Crew headed to Kelly Lake.  We had such a great time - packing as much fun into every day possible.  This is for sure an annual event.

Kindergarten and 1st Grade

First day of school.  They were so excited.

Toothless Joe

Thanks Grandma for the help.  I think she looks so beautiful.

Baseball Ben

A successful season - he enjoyed it, well the snack at the end mostly :)

Van Groll Grandkids

Grandma and Grandpa are so proud.

Who Gets Her Ears Pierced in her Baseball Cleats?

Sarah Joy Motelet DOES ........

So Much Fun

Last weekend we had some friends up to the cottage.  We fished, swam, jet-skied, kayaked and soaked up the sun.  Thanks to everyone for making the trip.  We will never forget it and it is now an annual event.   Good times, Good times !!!

Happy Birthdays to My Boys

I wish my favorite man and little man Happy Birthdays.  You both make our entire family so wonderful with your sense of humor, kindness and sense of style :).  We love you forever.

Tulsa-Time

The same day school ended, the Motelets hit the road to visit Uncle Mark, Aunt Angela and Cousin Zach. They are so kind.  We had an absolute blast.  We even fit in some baseball practice in the 80-plus degree pool.  Thanks so much guys.  You all rock.

Team Wildcats

Sarah is once again on the Orange Team this season.  It is packed with a lot of her friends.  Don't they all look like such "big kids" now?

Go Wildcats.

Spring Is Here

Sarah finally getting to enjoy Spring Fun.  She is hanging with Avery and 2 of her Kindergarten friends,  Nadia and Tessa.

Soccer SEASONS have begun

Ben is on his first real soccer team. The "Purple Popsicles".  Go BW's.

Winter Wonderland

Last fall Grandpa and Grandma Van Groll bought a house on Kelly Lake, about an hour from Appleton.  We can't wait for this summer to swim, fish, tube, kayak and enjoy watching Grandpa and Grandma "live the life".  Last weekend we loved that the neighbors carved a skating rink on the ice.  Not only did the kids love it, Carl did too.
