Christmas Menu

Hello Everybody,

Mom said Madeline told her that those of us with computers should make out a Christmas Menu. Madeline is providing BBQ Ribs and beverages. Beings nothing has been said about a menu yet I decided I would get it started.

Maggie: Beanless Chili Dip and Chips
Flavored Coffee Creamer (if I remember).

See you on Christmas!
Maggie

Katy

Hello Everybody,

Katy just found out that she has to be on bedrest until the baby is born. She is due on January 9 but will be having a c-section prior to that date. Katy and the baby could use prayers and also if any of you are in the kitchen and have some spare time I know they would appreciate a meal or two. Mom and dad will be helping as much as they can and any additional help would be greatly appreciated.

We will keep you posted as she has her doctor's appointments.

Thank you,
Maggie and the rest of the clan

Ok, why do I have so much space under my pictures? Sorry about that!

Here's one for the calendar, Carol

Eli's first Thanksgiving.

We're getting lots of smiles:)

Eliott's been smiling for a few weeks, but he's starting to give them out more often, and he's finding his voice, too!!

Yep--He is going to be a farmer...or a mechanic!

This is a picture at Kevin's sister's house. Kevin's little nephew got this for his 2nd Birthday but Mitchell was pretty much glued to it all day. When he wasn't trying to drive it, push it, or sit on it I caught him trying take it apart.

After getting a motivational speach from my mom about posting something, I decided to post something... because I am an obedient child, even from Ohio. This is Luke and I at my favorite shopping center call the Greene. They just lit their ginormous Christmas tree and it is amazing! Now I want to go there even more. Bad. I miss everyone and can't wait to see your cute faces soon! Anna

Keith Urban!!! I know I have amazing picture taking qualities...Blake already told me! haha!

the Keith Urban concert

Hey Everyone! If you didn't know(which you probably don't) this is my boyfriend Blake Kolquist. We went to the Keith Urban concert this weekend and it was sooo fun!

I can't wait to see everyone again...the shopping trip was fun as usual!

calendar

Any of those photos I wrote about in my last entry could be used in the family calendar.
Please send to me or post here! Thanks! Love, Carol

What's so funny!?!?!?!?!

who's taller?

I was experimenting with a different way to post
pictures...seeing if this works, so, I thought I'd
show a picture of the difference in size between
Elizabeth and Jess for any of you who haven't seen
them lately...She said, "Standing next to him is kinda
like standing next to Isaac already."...yikes!

One more picture.......

Kevin wanted to post this picture too. This is the look we get when he gets into things he shouldn't. Any ideas on how to discipline something this cute?!?!?!?

Mitchell--9 months old

In case you are wondering he still looks just like Kevin!

Mommy & Me

Here we are, all ready for church! Thank you, Oliver for letting me borrow your fuzzy little snowsuit!! I look like a little teddy bear!!
Eliott

Loving the blog!!

It's so fun to have this blog to keep up to date with everyone- especially when pictures are involved!!
Here is Oliver in his cowboy hat..looking pretty rough and tough..and dweeby.
Maggie, we will definitely be praying for little Mitchell. And so excited to hear that you'll be coming up to Duluth!!!
Can't wait to see everyone!
Liz

attention shoppers!

We will be meeting Saturday morning at Hopper's
at 7:30 a.m.,...too early?...too late?...tell me
if you want anything changed.
love, Carol

the big hunt

jess is happy to announce that his first day deer hunting
he shot an 8 point buck!

Eli's new toy!

My friend gave Eliott a new Jumperoo. We tried it out the other night, and he LOVES it!!! He got so excited, he would kick and bounce, and wave his arms!! He was smiling and cooing the whole time! It was the first time we've seen him get so excited!

shopping trip

since using the casino hotel seemed a little questionable...and far from the mall and the girls' house, we decided to get a room on canal park. the price is going to be a little higher but some of the girls will stay at Lori's so they won't have to pay anything. call me if you want details.
thanks. - carol

Sam's Family

Hi Everybody,

Jill just told me about this so I thought I would let you know Kevin and I actually got a computer at home and all set up. After all it is the 21st century so it is probably time we catch up on things. Our address is schefers123@clearwire.net.

Talk to you all later,
Maggie
