Brave Girl

Jordy wanted to learn how to ski last weekend. She had quite the cheer team. Bob's friend Jon and his family were down and Jon was in the water giving Jordy tips. This weekend my moms brother and his family were down and Grandpa Dave and Uncle Greg were in the water helping out (someones gotta stay behind the camera--and that's me)!
She is using the same set of skis that I learned on when I was 7. Press PLAY on the video below.

Summer 2008--Great Times!

Valley Fair

We went to the Valley Fair on Monday with Bob's folks and aunt. We had a great time. The frog hopper was the girls favorite ride. They also enjoyed the ice cream, icees and souvenirs Grandpa and Grandma bought them. Thanks for everything Jim and Viki!


They both got dolphins air brushed with glitter on their arms. They are still on after swimming twice in the hotel and 1 bath---not bad! (We did have strict orders not to scrub the dolphins).

4th of July

We had a wonderful 4th. Weather was perfect. We spent the day at Grandma Jean and Grandpa Milt's cabin (Middle Cormorant). Got to Lake Eunice about 7:00pm. The kids went straight to the water and played until 8:45. Kyle, Bob, and I went wake boarding (I'm a little sore from all the face plants I took--yeah, 5 days ago--still sore)! The kids lit up a few sparklers and they were excited to watch all the fireworks on the lake.

Birthday Parties

We had lunch at Chuck E Cheese on Kacie's actual birthday. Good times had by all!!


Thanks to all for a wonderful birthday party. Great company. Great weather. Great family!!

Happy Birthday Kacie

We had an amazingly fun day today!! Can't believe Kacie is 4 years old (seems like yesterday---we were at the lake--getting ready to play some cards--oh, my water broke--quite an excitng/unforgetable ride to Fargo). We are having her birthday party at the lake on Saturday. On Monday we are heading to the Valley Fair with Grandpa Jim and Grandma Viki and won't be back until Wednesday. I'm sure I will have some fun pics to post.

Play Date

Today we met some friends at the park for a picnic. We then went to the pool and swam for 3 hours. Thanks for the fun day: Carter, Owen, Olivia, Josie, Max & Charli. We will have to do it again, soon!!

Hoola Hoopers

The girls love hoola hooping. Jordy has it down....she loves shakin' her hips!
Kacie is getting the hang of it...still needs a bit more practice. Very cute to watch!!

RRVF

Amy and I took the kids to the fair on Friday. We arrived at 11:00 and left at 7:30. The kids had a blast. We then headed to the lake. They were all sleeping in no time!

Picture Day

Today was picture day with the cousins. We have been so fortunate to have found Rialee Photography (Thanks to Erin)! She met us out at the farm. 5 kids--pretty crazy. She did an outstanding job! Ria found a frog and that is what Kacie is holding in the picture below. I don't know what it is with my kids and those creepy critters. They love them!!

Happy Father's Day

Thanks for being the best Dad a kid could ever ask for. We love when you play games with us, when you take us for jet ski rides and when you get home from a hard days work just in time to read stories to us. Dad, you make the best mac and cheese when Mommy is at work. We love when you talk like Donald Duck and when you flip us around. We love when you let us have movie night and when you make us popcorn and put it in fun bowls for us. Thanks for always being patient with us. We love you for all you do for Mommy--we are the luckiest 3 girls to have you in our life!! Love you, Daddy!!

Too much rain!

We were at a 50th wedding anniversary party last weekend and I snapped a few pics of the girls. It appears that there is a beautiful lake in the backgroud--not so much! That spot normally does not have standing water--way too much rain the last few weeks. Made for some cute pics.

Only cousins...

would gather around a bucket and watch a mud puppy swim. Amy and I were raking leaves from the water and every now and then a mud puppy would come crawlin' out of the leaves that we had piled up on the beach. Emma and Jordy came quite attached (see picture below)!

OBSESSION

As many of you know, Kacie has an obsession with shoes (wonder where she got that?)! Jazzy, a friend at the lake, gave these Barbie sandals to the girls. Kacie wears them non-stop. Surprisingly, they don't slow her down.

Chahinkapa Zoo

Kacie and I went on a field trip with Jordy's class. We had a great time!

Happy Birthday Grandpa Dave

Happy Birthday Grandpa Dave. We love you!!

Happy Birthday Jordy & Grandpa Gary!

Jordy was almost 2 in the first picture. We were vacationing at Grandpa Jim and Grandma Viki's in Arizona. The second picture was a few months ago when we were swimming at the Holiday Inn. What are some of Jordy's favorites--should we ask her?

Favorite food? Tacos
Favorite color? Purple
Favorite movie? High School Musical
Favorite restaurant? Moe's
Favorite thing to do at school? Recess
Favorite thing to do at the lake? Play with my cousins
Do you have a boyfriend? Troy from High School Musical
I thought Troy liked Gabriella? "Mom, we're both foxy so he can like both of us"

Should we be worried? Gotta love her!!


Jordy and Grandpa Gary share a birthday. Love you Grandpa!!

The Little Sister

Kacie and I had a fun time today decorating the house for Jordy's birthday party. Jordy was pretty concerned about what Kacie was going to be doing during "her" birthday party. Jordy did not want Kacie to "annoy" her and her friends. (Not our precious Kacie)! They all had a good time and Jordy even asked Kacie to play with them a time or two.

School Party

Thanks for the awesome cake, Angie! The girls loved it.
The girls put tattoos on each other. Jordy has a puppy on each cheek, one on her neck and several on her legs. Lookin' pretty sharp! In the picture below: no boyfriends this year! Well, besides Troy from High School Musical!

Jordyn will be turning 6 on Saturday the 29th. Wow, how time flies!! She brought cupcakes to school today and then had all 5 girls in her class to our house. They had a blast. They all played so nice. They had pizza, cake and ice cream. We played duck, duck, goose. (6 year old girls are very silly at that game). Musical chairs got pretty rowdy--my ears are still ringing from all the high pitched squeals when the music stopped. They all sang and danced to Hannah Montana and High School Musical! I am so proud of Jordy--such a sweet girl!!

Happy B-Day
