Halloween Fun

By: Steph | Tags: , , ,

We had a fun Halloween and although Lauren didn’t really understand trick-or-treating, she sure liked her kitty costume after several dress rehearsals!  She didn’t want to wear her costume at daycare, but seeing all of her friends in their costumes must have gotten her excited to wear it for the night.  We had our friends, (Read the Rest…)

Dancing Queen

By: Josh | Tags: , , ,

Every once and awhile Lauren will get in a mood that causes Steph and I to stop everything we’re doing and just sit and watch. Tonight was one of those nights and luckily the video camera was handy. Maybe it was the pizza, or more likely the cookies after dinner. Whatever the cause, it provided (Read the Rest…)

    That was such a treat! A great way to start my day — with the dancing queen:) She definitely loves music and keeping the beat. It looks like she has the “brush it off” down pat too. And the “circle.” She’s ready for dance class. Love you all

It’s been a while since our last post because there hasn’t been too much to report!  We’ve had a lot of down time in the past month which has been really nice.  November and December are looking quite busy already so we’ll enjoy these weekends of rest and relaxation!  Josh did get out hunting last (Read the Rest…)

    Lauren, I’ll bet you want to be a “princess” instead of a kitty, don’t you? Grandma will have to send you a magic wand . . . you will be a cutie no matter what you wear!
    Grandpa Nick thinks you can say “Grandpa”, too . . . keep practicing and surprise him! Can’t wait to kiss those rosy little cheeks!! Love, Grandma Mary



Lauren was pretty talkative on our ride home from the cabin last weekend. Here’s a clip of her reading in the car. And here are a couple others from the lake…

    Loved the videos! She is so cute reading to herself. I have to comment on the hair too…her hair is curlier at this age than Oliver’s was! Oliver’s was the exact same way — started in the back at @ 1 year old and slowly the curls worked their way to the front. I can’t wait for a full head of curls on her!! :) love & miss you*jessica



We recently spent a week visiting my brothers in Oregon.  My parents went, too, and we all had a great time together!  We stayed busy in Portland, taking in some of the area sights and spending time with Jeff and Jon’s friends.  The highlight of the trip was spending the holiday weekend in Pacific City (Read the Rest…)

State Fair ’08

By: Steph | Tags: , , ,

We enjoyed a day at the MN State Fair over the weekend- it was a beautiful day to be out and enjoying fair food!  We had the usual (corn, cheese curds, cookies, malt, bull bites) and tried a few new ones, too- pronto pup, tater tots on a stick, and a pickle dog (pickle wrapped (Read the Rest…)

My mom and dad came down last weekend to celebrate Dad’s birthday with us.  The weekend went too fast as always… Saturday we headed over to the Mill City Farmers Market and Como Zoo.  It was a gorgeous day to be out and we had fun watching Lauren react to the zoo animals. We were (Read the Rest…)

The Zoo

By: Steph | Tags: , , , , , ,

We took advantage of the beautiful day today and went to the MN Zoo!  Lauren had a great time looking at all the animals- she especially liked the fish and the prairie dogs.  And when she wasn’t checking out the wildlife, she was observing all the kids around her.  She also had some fun with (Read the Rest…)

We hope everyone enjoyed their 4th of July weekend!  We spent the weekend at the lake and enjoyed the beautiful weather with family and friends.  Lauren liked being in the water and even got a very slow ride on the jet ski.  It was a little harder for Josh and I to sit back and (Read the Rest…)

1st Birthday

By: Steph | Tags: , ,

Lauren had such a fun 1st birthday!  We had lots of family and friends over to help her celebrate- it was a great afternoon to relax in the backyard and the kids kept busy with bubbles.  Lauren didn’t quite know what to do with her cake, but it didn’t take long for her to make (Read the Rest…)

    Lauren, What a great celebration your 1st birthday was! You had a wonderful time “catching” bubbles and interacting with everyone. That little sparkle in your eyes just melts my heart. You bring so much joy to so many lives…..we love you very much!



Lauren is so close to walking- maybe she’ll wait and take those first steps on her birthday! Her new favorite thing to do is pull all of the clothes and towels out of her dresser drawers. She’s also getting a little attitude, which the girls at daycare claim is her way of expressing independence. Lauren (Read the Rest…)
