A Day at the Lake!

Noah and I spent Saturday afternoon with friends at their lake place.
Noah enjoyed playing with Ella and Breiden while I got to visit a little with the girls.
These are pics from the day.

Just lounging away the afternoon.

The boys enjoying the view.


Noah giving kisses!

More Pictures!

Father's Day. Love this Picture!

First Sweetcorn of the summer. J was here to enjoy with us.


We celebrated 8 years last week!

Noah likes to do everything Daddy does.


Loves the pick-up and Daddy lets him play in it sometimes.

Fishing with Grandpa George!

Dancing the Night Away!

Friday night we went over to my cousins wedding reception/dance. Noah was not to sure of the dancing until later in the evening. From the tidbits of these videos you can see he was having a pretty good time. It was fun to watch him and his cousins dancing the night away!

HaPpY BiRtHdAy GrAnDmA gLaDyS!

Noah is sending birthday wishes your way Gladys. You have to listen carefully but you should hear the words "happy to you". This is Noah's way of singing "happy birthday". Enjoy! We will see you on Saturday.

Our family is growing...

...by a puppy of course, were you thinking otherwise?

This is Miley and she is the newest member to our family.
She is very cute and adorable...until you get near her and then
she attacks with those sharp puppy teeth.
Noah is loving Miley! She really has been great and I think she will
eventually be a great dog.
She is a hunting dog and the breed is a "small munsterlander".
Cory has really gotten into pheasant hunting these past few years
and really wanted a dog for this purpose.

It's Back....

...winter has returned. Many of you that read this can probably just open your doors and look out at this winter wonderland but I thought I would post some pictures to share with those less fortunate of receiving such beautiful winter snowfall.
(Yes, there is a little sarcasm in my typing)

Can you read that? Yes, 12 inches.(just outside our front door) The radio station was heard saying they had measured 19 inches. Not sure of the official total snowfall yet.



I thought it was safe to put out the lawn furniture. Apparently not, winter has taken a seat on my chair.

This would be a mouse eye view from our garage floor.


Crazy Minnesota Weather...

Cool Shades and Harry Potter?

Noah and I were outside this afternoon and it was sunny so we broke out the cool shades!

The "Harry Potter" Glasses are from my Grandma Bev's house. I think they may have been my Grandpa's?

Bonfire!

Saturday was absolutely beautiful here and we were out enjoying it. Cory was burning brush all afternoon from the trees they cut down last fall. So we had a last minute bonfire/grilling party with the family. It was really fun and some of us were out until after 11pm enjoying the nice weather, the warm fire, the full moon and No Bugs!!
Not for long though, those bugs will find us, they always do.
We are definitely enjoying our new location and our backyard. Come over and enjoy a bonfire with us sometime.

Work Weekend at G & G Reinertson's

We were down visiting G & G Reinertson a few weeks ago. Cory worked on the Garage and Noah was not far behind. He loves to be with his daddy and he also loves to take things out of his tool pouch. He was busy handing Cory nail after nail after nail!

All Smiles at the Minnesota Zoo!

Cory had to be in the Twin Cities on Monday for some classes so we all went down on Sunday and spent the afternoon at the Minnesota Zoo.

Noah gives us this big cheesy grin every time
the camera comes out. He shuts his eyes and shows us his teeth!

My two cheesy smiling Boys!

Cheesy Mom had to show her smile too!

Easter with the Reinertson's!

We were at Grandma & Grandpa Reinertson's for Easter.
Noah loved being the center of attention!

Noah was all spiffed up for Church.
He looks happy about it, right?



The Grand kids, minus 2.
We missed you Amelia & Torunn!

Noah loved playing with his big cousin Ashley.
