North Dakota

This was our 3rd annual go to North Dakota on the last day of school.
We made it as far as Fargo on the 1st day.
The kids enjoying a nice Hampton breakfast.
We stopped at Scheels on the way out of town.  Jake loves presidents so we stopped and snapped a pic.
And of course ride the ferris wheel.
Next stop Bismarck.  
My grandparents.  Lovely.  Amazing. Role Models.  
Love them!!!
My favorite Auntie Jo.
Minot is kinda like an island.  But we found our way.
We finally made it!
I'm sure this picture is of Mom explaining why she lost her phone, keys or sunglasses again!
Jake loves his Grandpa.
An afternoon spent at Splash Down

We went to church to hear Travis give his testimony.
I was proud to sit next to him.
A quick trip to the zoo.
Cotton candy blue hands and mouth.

I'm positive Brylee is a clone of her Grandma.
They are so much alike.
The only two people I know who get excited to clean.  
My favorite Aunt Sandy
The kids wait and wait just to capture small amounts of time with Uncle Ryan.  
Look at Brett smile at him.

Ryan and Jacob Ryan.
If only Ryan knew how much his Jacob Ryan is like him.
He works so hard.
We had an afternoon of pricing things for the biggest garage sale ever.
I even found new undies for them to sell.
Silly Mom was going to throw them away.
Brylee is a pricing super star.  She did not need any help on deciding prices.
Our very cool cousin Caisee showed up on duty and left with sirens and all.
Cherry Berry at the Mall.
Pictures on the last morning.
What pictures on the last morning actually look like!
It's hard to get Mom to look at the camera...she is always smiling at the kids.



We always take a self portrait right before we part.
Love you Mom!
See you in August.

MiMi and Grandpa Jim

Best Days Ever when Mama and Jim come to visit!
Grandpa Jim was the best sport ever as he took the first trip through the lunch line to eat lunch with his girl Brylee.  He was a trooper eating the most delicious tomato soup with an itsy bitsy spoon.
2nd trip through the line to eat with Jake.  Oh yea walking tacos this time.
Jacob now knows how to kick a football the right way.  Grandpa is a Great Football Coach!

Breakfast while the kids are in school.  And only my Mom can order off the senior menu for me.
These two are great examples of what an Amazing marriage looks like.
Next stop shooting lessons for Mom at Gander Mountain.  
Watch out you criminals she is not afraid to shoot!

Until next time.......

Best Thanksgiving Ever!





3:45 am on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving Talli began to drive North. 8:00 am the kids and I headed west. 8:30 pm we rang to doorbell and surprised my Mom and Jim. Ryan and Angie were also on their way from Arizona. It had been 8 years since the last time all three kids and my Mom were together. As you can tell she was truly suprised.

Best Thanksgiving Ever!!!


Thanksgiving with family.


Black Friday shopping at Target with Talli and Lori....never again!


Time with my brother, sister and Mom at the same time.


Uncle Ryan taking the kids to Planet Pizza.


Time with cousins and aunt.


Swimming and movies.


All memories stored away until next time!
