Slip-n-Slide

2008-07-07T09:15:00.000-07:00

Some good old fashion slip-n-slide fun...we did this Sunday morning since it was 90 degrees at 10 am! With major humidity. Then in the afternoon we went to Buffalo River State Park. They have kind of a natural pool with a beach all around so, fun to do on a very hot day.

Jake's Christmas Program

This is part of Jake's Christmas Program at preschool...So cute!

Sorry it has taken so long

2007-12-11T07:02:00.000-08:00

Life just seems to get in the way! I am gonna post some pics and
that way my relatives can see how the kids have grown. We are
all very busy getting ready with the holidays....I don't ever
think I will be officially ready!
I actually have some things done, but it always feels like
things are only part way done.
We hit a deer with my 2 month old car on the way to Thanksgiving,
and life has been just a little bit more difficult since then. Noone
was hurt, thank goodness. It is just all the car rigamarow (sp?)
Well, here are some pics. Hope you have a great Christmas.

Long Time....Happy Birthday, Jake and Memorial Day Weekend

2007-05-29T18:32:00.000-07:00

It has been a long time, but we are back! We have been really busy, but it is summer and there is a little(emphasis on little) free time.

We celebrated Jake's 4th birthday recently. We had a party at the zoo and had a wonderful time. We rode the carousel, looked at animals, ate cake, and opened presents. Of course it was a "Qeen" cake....for those of you that do not know Jake is obsessed with "Cars" the movie and Lightning McQueen the main character.

We also just spent Memorial Day at Big Lake with Nana and Papa. The kids loved the electric cars and swinging on the swing set.

"We goin to Wimming, Mom?"

2006-11-29T05:38:00.000-08:00

Here is Jake at swimming...he just loves it. He was playing around
and hamming it up for me! This was before he got in the water...it
is a different story after he comes out of the water. Shivering and
very cold and cranky at that. Here are a couple pics of our fish!

Muffins with Mom

2006-11-16T11:45:00.000-08:00

Today at Jake's Preschool we had "Muffins with Mom". We did a craft and had

It was too much fun! Here are pics and video.

Hi All,

We have been so busy in this household! Just want to quick update
everyone, Jake started preschool on Tues of this week and he loves it!
Jenn is co-coordinating a MOPS group in town so she is currently

Here are some pics of Jake's first day and maybe some of Mikey too.

What is this noise?

2006-06-14T10:49:00.000-07:00

Mikey has discovered how to make silly noises with his mouth! It is funny!
Here is some video. He loves to do it when he is eating so you can imagine the mess. Baby food all over mommy!

Rice Family Christmas

2005-12-27T07:21:00.000-08:00

We were here in town this year for Christmas, and we spent it with Jenn's parents and her grandmother. We had a nice quiet little Christmas, I guess if you didn't count all the chatting from the little chatter box, Jake! He got so many nice things. He got race cars from Santa, just what he asked for. He got a running choo choo from Nana and Papa. Nannie got him a gift card to "Donalds", which is Jake's way of saying McDonalds! We all were very blessed this Christmas!

The Freed Family Christmas

2005-12-27T06:21:00.000-08:00

We celebrated Christmas with the Freed's the weekend before Christmas. We had lots of fun. Here are some pictures, thanks to Nancy, Ashley's girlfriend. Some of them are so beautiful!

Santa's Village

2005-12-27T06:04:00.000-08:00

Here are some pics from Santa's Village, Mommy took Jake on the Friday before Christmas. We saw electric trains, Santa and Mrs. Clause, made a cookie and a reindeer hat, went on a horse-drawn sleigh ride, and saw some of Santa's reindeer! It was a lot of fun, and what perfect day. It was nice and warm, for here anyway.

They say it is easy, but it ain't easy!

2005-12-07T10:03:00.000-08:00

So, thinking I would be a great mommy, I decided Jake and I should put together a gingerbread

"choochoo" Oh my, not so much fun! Not too easy either. After screwing up one batch of frosting, I had only one batch to work with, was that exciting.

Even after all my troubles, Jake loved decorating it and of course eating the decorations!

Ringing the Bells!

2005-12-07T09:53:00.000-08:00

On Friday of last week, we rang the bell for the Salvation Army.

Jake loved it. We had my mom, me, Jake, Michael, and Matthew(my nephew)

Quite the experience!

Star Sighting in Minot!

2005-11-30T18:59:00.000-08:00

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

We did! We had an exciting Friday after Thanksgiving.

We decided to go to the restaurant "10" that Josh Duhamel

co-owns with some local people, and guess who happened

to be there.

Of course, both of us were too chicken to get a picture

or an autograph, so all I have are the memories!

What fun though!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

2005-11-22T14:46:00.000-08:00

We are off to Minot tomorrow. Should be a fun trip in the car with a two year old and a 6 week old! I am sure we will have plenty of stories when we return.

We are all so thankful for each and everyone of you. Thank you for being a part of our lives!

Attempt at Christmas Photos

2005-11-17T11:01:00.000-08:00

Here is our attempt at Christmas pictures, as you can see it went really well!

Pictures!

2005-11-15T11:29:00.000-08:00

It was like torture! Never, Never, Never take
a two year old and a 5 week old to get pictures together!
If you do, do not expect much.

Will post pictures when we get them.

Land of the Sick!

2005-11-08T10:09:00.000-08:00

Well, our plans to go to GF got cancelled. Both boys have a touch of something. Don't want to get anyone else sick. Both were up last night, so hopefully we all get good naps!

Dinosaur Land

2005-11-07T14:17:00.000-08:00

Well, today was a really big day! I say that sarcastically! I managed to go
to dinosaur land at the mall with both kids. Jake loves this place. Amazingly enough
it was not crowded and we had a good time. Nana even stopped by to see us.

We are planning a trip up to Grand Forks to see Nannie. Hopefully seeing Michael will cheer her
up. She has had a terrible time of it with her back and pelvis.

Will try to post pics of the kids with Nannie.
