Riding the four wheelers

Another favorite for our family is 

Four wheeling on the quads. 

This is something our family has enjoyed for years!!!!

 Kaden was finally allowed to drive this year. I still don't trust him riding all by himself because the quads are so big...but he loves being able to drive mom all over. 

Trent is a beast on the trails. Riding four wheelers is like second nature to him just like football. 

These trails are made for riding and that is what we love to do!

Lots of trails=lots of riding! 

While riding four wheeler I love being out in God's nature and all that he so graciously blessed us with. And sometimes that does also include signs of badgers and bears. Trent showed me a few spots in the corn field where bears had tracked through the corn and knocked down lots of corn. That scares me so much. 

Recently we had a bear hunter who harvested a bear from these very fields just a week or two ago. The cameras installed show several bears. I sure hope they have roamed to another field so we can return riding four wheeler. 

Here are a few more pictures from a previous ride...

Do you see the deer in the field? It's a tiny spot in the tall weeds...we scared it as it was laying in the weeds. 

Riding four wheeler=One happy boy!!!!

On Labor day weekend I believe, Trent and Grandpa took the quads up to some friends house and met my cousin Brad and his friends. They spent the day four wheeling on the trails up to the pipeline. I don't have pictures from that trip as it was so muddy  no one took a camera or used their phones for a camera. But- I will promise you they had lots of fun and returned extremely muddy!

Trent gave it two thumbs up and said let's do it again!

Goodbye summer

So sad to see summer leave. I was blessed to be able to spend lots of time with the boys during the summer. We became quite the beach bums and enjoyed many dips in the pools. Since I am just beginning this blog I will give you a recap of our summer.

summer is always so much fun, but just too short! Hope you all enjoyed your summer. Summer and fall are always my favorite seasons. However, each season holds many things to enjoy. With that said, we big a farewell to summer of 2013. The Ermis family is ready for the next season.





We are a football family!

Yes, we love football and we love our Green Bay Packers! 

After all, the pack is America's team! 

Every summer before pre season and opening season our beloved packers host a packer family night! This has been a yearly ritual for us. Every year it lands pretty close to Trent's birthday or on the actual day. Which works out great...since he is all about football. 

 Lambeau field is our favorite place in Wisconsin!!!
