Merry Christmas!

I was waiting and waiting for somebody to write a post for our blog. Nobody did so I decided to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and put up some pictures of the living nativity our kids participated in at the bank a couple weeks ago. See you on Saturday!

Headache

Today I had a scary thing happen. Eliott was on a chair and stood up and then fell forward. When he did this he hit his head on the oak desk in front of him. As you can imagine, I was just sick about this poor little guy getting his head split open. When he got home from the doctor, it was apparent that it hurt me on the inside alot worse than it hurt him on the outside. ..the dr. just glued it shut!

More Shopping News...

Here's the plan...
We'll meet at Hopper's at 7:30 on Saturday morning.
I can drive and Elizabeth and Linda have also said that they could drive.
We can decide for sure who drives that morning.
See you then!

CALLING ALL SHOPPERS!

Hi All!

Where should we meet and who should drive? I can drive the station wagon but we'll probably need another car...depending on who all's going. Let's try to leave as early as possible Saturday morning, o.k.? Sally and I will have to go home early on Sunday because she has play practice at 2:00 at the highschool.

Pumpkin carving at The Kasper's!

Chad, Eliott, and I went over to Joey and Kerri's last Thursday to carve pumpkins. We had so much fun!!! Here are some cute pics from the night!

Happy Halloween, from Wes and Eli!

A Day in the Life...

Oliver, Grandbobby and Eliott

Here are a couple photos of a day in the life of the designated babysitter. I had two energy filled little boys today and was very relieved when Grandbobby got home and held them so I could make supper.

Juetten's

Katy asked me to post a couple of pictures of her kids. Here they are! Enjoy--Maggie

Isaiah eating his first OREO. Who thought one cookie could make that much of a mess?

Grandpa, Haley, Emma, and Isaiah eating popcorn up at Grandma and Grandpa's camper.

He <3 's to Shop!

I think we might have a real shopper on our hands!

Eliott is 1!

Can't believe how fast the year flew by! We had a really fun barnyard birthday party at the cabin a couple of weeks ago for him. On his real birthday we had a relaxing, rainy, indoor day at the cabin. On Sunday we were going to take him to the zoo in Little Falls, but of course, the weather didn't cooperate, so we went out to eat, did a little shopping, and visited Grandpa and Grandma, and Joey and Kerri and the kids instead!

Corn Palace

We also stopped at the corn palace. The theme this year is 'Everyday Heros'. I found this rather interesting.

Labor Day Weekend Vacation

Since Kyle and I both had Friday and Monday off we decided that we would hop in the car and head west to Rapid City. Gibbs went to the neighbors and Gabe came with. Gabe did really well. He slept most of the time we were in the car and timed his eating and messy diapers around when we were actually in a hotel room. We could not have asked for it to work any better. Now my FMLA is all used up and I will be back to work fill time. :( Pics are Gabe and I at Rushmore and Gabe relaxing in the hotel after a day in the car site seeing. We have a picture of Kyle and Gabe in front of Devil's Tower to get the whole thing and them in they are so small you cannot even see them really.

oktoberfest fun

Here are some photos of Oktoberfest festivities...Elizabeth, Andrew and cousins Bethany, Josie and Megan were able to run in the fun run...I guess it was a little too much for them. Jess got to ride his unicycle and hand out candy in the parade. And some little kids, Oliver and Kahlee, to name a couple, got to o.d. on candy...oh yea, Kerri and Linda were in the parade handing out goodies for the bank...Oliver was hoping for fly swatters but all he got was a pencil...could you work on that for next year, ladies?

Mitchell 19 Months

Today we were on the farm. I was trying to take Mitchell's 18 month pictures (so he is 19 months who is counting?!?!) This is our favorite one.

Here is a picture of all 4 of the grandkids together. I tried setting them on the hay bale but it was a little bit too high.

Michael Phelps, Frosted Flakes, Oh My

So I was thinking since I usually post just pics today I would give you my 2 cents. Be prepared it is not a very profound 2 cents.

If you have been following the Olympics I am sure you are familiar with Michael Phelps, the USA's 8 time gold medal swimmer. Well this week Kelloggs announced that his image would be pictured on the Frosted Flakes box. Now this action has nutritionists all in a rage because it sends the wrong message to children; that frosted flakes is the real breakfast of champions instead of wheaties; a cereal with one third of the sugar and three times the fiber.

My comment to the nutritionists is ... the real message this sends to kids is 'If you avoid video games and swim 5 hours a day I guess you can eat your flakes with frosting on them if you want to'. This still leaves approximately 9,700 calories available for Wheaties. (Phelps diet allows for 10,000 daily caloric intake.)

check out the Twins fans!

I did not even know until tonight talking to Liz, but both Oliver and Eliott were at the Twins game on Sunday! (More about Eli's game on our blog). And, they both had their pictures taken and put on the Twins website! Oliver had 2 taken, one with Mommy, one with Daddy. Here are the links to check them out!

Eli, Chad, and Alexandra: http://www.printroom.com/ViewGalleryPhoto.asp?evgroupid=0&userid=twins&gallery_id=1228527&image_id=3

I bet it would have been real fun to have the two of them at the game together!!!!!!!!!!!! HAAAAA!!!!!

Reunion Money

Hi,

We had $120 left over from the reunion so I donated to the Ramey Lutheran Church. They built a reception hall about a few years ago and I know they need the money so I sent it to them and put it is from the Robert and Minnie Moren Family.

thanks,
Maggie
