Fat Lip and Father’s Day

After our vacation to Wisconsin, the Werth fam celebrated Father’s day. The whole ordeal started when Teresa called one day and stated that she was bring Mom to a concert (some country band :P) in the Quad Cities. I thought this would be a perfect time for Dad and I to hit up a baseball game. Unfortunately, somewhere along the line I got my dates mixed up and had tickets for Saturday when the concert was on Friday. Well, I scrapped that plan and we (Fred and I) hit up two breweries in the Quad Cities while the girls were at the concert. So I called to reschedule the baseball game and moved my tickets to Father’s Day. How nice of Elise and Jacob to get me tickets!

So the three of us went on a Sunday afternoon to Jacob’s first baseball game. We had the best seats in the house and Jacob managed to snag a baseball (compliments of the nice man next to us). The pictures below show the fun, along with a nice, fat lip from I-can’t-remember-what.

Oh boy . . . summer recap

So now that the school year is upon us, I thought it would be good to catch you up on what the Werth family has been doing for the past few months (sorry 🙁 ).

Two posts ago, you saw Jacob getting a hair cut, Elise being pregnant, and good times in the new kiddie pool. After those photos, Elise and I took a brief vacation to northern Wisconsin. We stayed at the Heartwood Conference Center, a gorgeous family friendly haven in the outdoors. Elise and I called this our baby moon and really enjoyed the time relaxing, canoeing, and going for walks. We spent two nights at the center and then found a campsite in the Chequamegon National Forest. This was also the maiden voyage of our new “family” tent, upgrading this past Christmas from a two person to a six person! Driving back to the Twin Cities on Saturday, we of course had to stop at the Leinenkugel’s brewery for a tour and tasting.

Elise and I recently bought some new furniture, which meant Jacob also received some fun things – boxes! We fashioned the little man a house and he enjoys playing in and around this cardboard construction 🙂

As promised, I’ve been digging through our backlog of pictures and now have the top pics to show. These pictures include our first few days in our new house along with the discovery of some of our plants. I’ve also included a picture of an old newspaper ad from Best Buy – be sure to check out the styling on these phones! Lastly there are some sweet photos of Jacob looking cool, drumming, and hanging out with the Werths.
