Camper

Last week Jason and I purchased a camper. It is a 23ft Award camper trailer. We purchased it from a man from this area. We had Aaron help us bring it home and then we spent the weekend in it in our driveway. The kids had a blast.

Braden and Jason playing Farkle a dice game one evening.

The kids enjoying the nice day.

Ava and Braden making funny faces.

Our kitchen.

The cute kids just before bed. This couch folds out into a twin bed. It was big enough for them to seep on.

1st Grade

This is a photo of Braden and Ava at the beginning of kindergarten last year 2008.

(scroll down to see this year 2009)LOOK AT ME NOW!

My big 1st Grader!

He was very excited about starting 1st grade. Braden loves school and is very excited about learning again. Summer kids was fun and so was spending time at Annette's (daycare) But there is something about learning at school that makes it better. I am very excited to have one less kid in child care...now I feel that I have gotten a raise.

I can't believe how much he has changed! I know it goes by fast. Soon I will be posting about Ava starting school. Only another 2 years until she will be starting Kindergarten.

Even Ava needed to get in the photo on the fist day of school.

Swimming and Rollag 2009

Here are some fun photos of the kids at the cabin in the water.

Here we are having fun at Rollag. It is nice to go each year because it is only 10 minutes away from the cabin. We are riding on the train that goes around the park.

Haley and Halle

New this year a little trolley.

Happy Birthday to me!

Today is my Birthday! My favorite day of the year, next to my kids Birthday's. Jason and the kids purchased a new camera for my Birthday! Don't look to close to my hair. I am having a flat hair day. (Yes, Jason is taking my photo with my old camera) I can't wait to use it. The zoom is awesome and hopefully I can take better photos of my kids.

Beltrami County Fair!

Saturday night we went to the County fair and had a blast. The weather was cool but, we still had a great time. We had fun checking out all of the animals and the kids had a blast on the kiddie rides. As you can see Ava is in all of the photos because she the most excited!

July 27, 2009

Sunday was a great day! We were very happy to be at the cabin. We did all of the fun things we like to do, fishing, swimming, coloring and ridding in the paddle boat. We were all sad to leave on such a nice day.

4th of July fun!

This year we took another weeks vacation and spent most of it at the cabin. Over our vacation we had 2 big celebrations. Braden turned 6 and then Independence Day! The kids and Jason did lots of fishing and running around. I did lots of reading and sitting by the lake. We even had an extra family member for a few days. Cousin Eric came and stayed with us for four days. Braden had a blast having a buddy with him. Eric and Braden had tons of fun fishing and riding dirt bikes in the yard. The weather was the best! For having a cool summer, I think it was the best week of the summer and we were on vacation at the cabin. We even went to town once to get some ice cream treats and to visit Travis and Nikki. Their "cabin" is one block off of the main drag in D.L. From their deck we could see the lake.
