Hille Highlights now on Facebook Only

I have decided to only put my Hille Highlights for each month on Facebook only. The reason is because it was taking too long to upload photos to my blog each month. Join Facebook if you want to see updates from our family. I had my blog for 5 1/2 years. It was fun, but is now too time consuming.

September Highlights

Noah loves building sheds for all his cars and trucks with Lincoln Logs. He still has a wheel obsession. I am guessing our family will always be involved in car shows. Awesome! 


Noel is the most interesting little girl I know. She is holding her pink car, a toy leg cast and her puppy that she won at the Shawano Fair. Random toys. Noel keeps life interesting!


The golden rod always peaks in our backyard at the end of August, early September.


The kids love all of our pumpkins! Our garden produced 20 of them this year!


Car Show at Shawano Lake. It was a beautiful day!


Finally new curtains in our living room and dining room! Gold or Yellow, my favorite color!


We went to Bonduel Founder's Day and found this awesome scarecrow made out of old barn wood.


On our way back from Antigo one weekend, we stopped at Dairy Queen and Noah loved his chocolate ice cream with sprinkles. Noel fell asleep and missed out.


The kids put on their mittens and gloves to pick our pumpkins. Our golf cart is used for everything around our yard.


Noah has been loving the board game of Life. Little cars to drive=Noah's favorite game.


Our garden produced one acorn squash. I was so happy to get one!


I really love watching the moon. I love our country life!


Noel loves painting and making hand prints. This is probably her most favorite thing to do.
 


I can't wait for Pioneer Woman's new cookbook in a few weeks. Pioneer Woman has new cooking utensils and cookware at Walmart now!


Noel and I made Pioneer Woman's lollipops! Yummy!

 
 
We are getting excited for the upcoming holidays!

August Highlights

August Hille Family Highlights

Noah took the seat off the tricycle and decided to ride on the bumper. Summer riding with a Mohawk and a temporary tattoo on his arm! Too cute!


Onions from our garden!


The pumpkins have taken over our garden.


Love our sweet corn especially on the grill


Finding frogs in our yard. Noah named this frog Tommy.


We have a kids chore/behavior chart. 15 stars gets them a reward. Our last reward was Taco Bell.

Mike started a new job in August. He now works for Contrx Industries in Neenah!

Lets just say I love to make to do lists even for Birthday Party prep. Then on the day of the party, I like to start at 7 am with a task every half hour until the party starts.  Its how I roll.


Happy 4th Birthday to sweet Noel! We love you very much and you are so very cute.
Noel loves her pretty dresses!


Noah's Mohawk for Noel's Birthday Party! Love it!


Noel's Birthday Party theme was Doc McStuffins. The Disney TV show where Doc McStuffins fixes all the stuffed animals and makes them feel better.


Noel with her stuffed animal presents-a kitty and an owl. Later that night while we were sitting on the couch:
Noel says "This kitty is mad".
Me: "Why is she mad? and laughing out loud.
Noel: "She misses her family and she is ugly."
Me: "Oh boy" This kid has quite the imagination.


Noel loving all the attention


We bought Noel a bike for her birthday. One happy kid!


This bike even has a seat for her stuffed animals!


Noel loves to be active. A trampoline was another great gift. She loves it.


Noah loved helping open all Noel's gifts and he loved riding her Doc McStuffins scooter.


For my New Years Resolution, I stated that I wanted to read the Bible. The good news is I read the whole New Testament and Genesis and Exodus are also read. Still a lot to read yet, but getting closer.


The whole family went to a Timber Rattlers game for Mike's new work!


The kids had more fun in the sandbox and playing on the bounce houses during the Timber Rattlers game. It was a nice summer night.



We went to a Pulaski park and the kids had more fun in the mud puddles and playing with all the frogs instead of playing on the new playground equipment.



Our garden is giving us lots of great produce! Zucchini and Sweet Corn!


Mike and I celebrated our 11th Wedding Anniversary! We always like to take a family photo and include it in our Wedding Anniversary book. It is fun to look through this book each year to see how much we have all changed.


Noah is now in first grade at Bonduel Elementary!


Noel is in 4K at Bonduel Elementary!


Time to start thinking about Fall activities and start planning for the holidays! My favorite time of year! Yay!

Summer Fun-Hille Style

We are loving summer! We enjoyed the car show in Shawano for the June Jumpin' Jamboree! We have no wipers on our hot rod, so of course it rained on the way home. Good thing for Walmart and Rain X.

 
The kids thought it would be a great idea to play in the mud. Did you know that mud makes you really strong? Silly kids.
 

 
We went to Breakfast on the Farm to see the robotic milk machines. The kids enjoyed sitting on the tractors the most.
 

Big tractor wheels. Little kids.

Even Noel liked going in the tractors!

 
 We enjoyed going to the NEW Zoo with Grandma Debbie, even though we had to wear sweat shirts!


We enjoyed seeing all the animals out and about. At least they were not all sleeping.


We loved watching the little prairie dogs.


The peacock's feathers were awesome!


We enjoyed the train ride at the NEW Zoo too.

The kids loved feeding the goats!


 Loving the minnows they caught in the creek!


The baby robins grew up fast!


Loving the new sidewalk chalk. Glitter chalk too!


Our garden is growing!

My fun and colorful vision board!

 
We enjoyed the fireworks at Jack and Tina's Fourth of July party!
 


Noel still smiling so nice even after getting in the way of the shovel when we were filling up our sandbox with sand.

 
 
The kids loved all the candy at the Bonduel Fourth of July parade!
 

 
Relaxing at the Bonduel parade!
 

 
 
We enjoyed the Bonduel Parade with Grandpa Dan and Grandma Sandy. Noah was getting tired of my camera.
 


The kids love playing school even while waiting for the fireworks.


Enjoying a nice summer night!


I love our hot rod and all the green lights! Cool


Loved watching the Bonduel fireworks in our driveway with Mike's Parents, Tara, Scott, and Marie!


My family use to make chocolate milkshakes all the time when I was little. Now I enjoy making them for my kids too! Yum!

The sky has been absolutely stunning at night! Love all the beautiful colors.


The kids outfits for picking raspberries: mittens, swim suits, boots, and Mike's boots. Picking raspberries at our house is a serious task.


We rented a cabin at Lake of the Woods campground in Wautoma! The cabin was small. It reminded us of the tiny house hunters on HGTV.


Our cabin was right on the pond!


It was a super hot weekend. Good thing they had 2 swimming pools and 1 swimming pond.


We enjoyed having a living room, kitchen, bathroom, and a TV for our camping trip!


The kids loved sleeping in the loft!


Until next year! We enjoyed Lake of the Woods in Wautoma!

 
 
I have Tuesdays off of work, so the kids and I went school shopping already! We were able to get it all done in a few hours! Awesome!
 

 
 
Mike and I enjoyed Date Night last night! The kids enjoyed sleeping at Grandma Debbie and Grandpa Rick's house!
 


The pea pickers are in town. Only took them a few hours to take the whole field off.


Happy Birthday Mom! We enjoyed spending the day with you today!


Hard to believe that school starts in a few short weeks. We are loving the summer sun and fun!
