February 2010 Update

Wow! I have been so terrible at updating this. Sorry readers...
Things have been really busy- Since the last post...in JUNE... we have been to Washington, started a new school year, and I passed my CDE exam (: so I am now a Certified Diabetes Educator.
Tristan is in 5th grade and Jax is in Preschool.

June 2009

Here is a pic of Brian enjoying his Father's Day gift- Tristan and I made a Fire Pit in the back yard for all of us to enjoy- B was so surprised when he got home and we led him "blindfolded" to his gift! We had a weanie roast and smores last night (Ellie was with us too!)


On Wednesday
the boys had an appt. at the dentist in Sioux Falls, Jamie had Tristan so they met Jax and I up there and then we took the kids to the Washington Pavillion. It was fun! Here the kids are lifting a car....

Well, This will be starting from the most recent pics: Yesterday the boys were playing in the leaves and the Jorgensen's (next door) and having a blast! Dawn was out taking pictures of her kiddos in the beautifully colored leaves and I asked to borrow her "prop" (leaf pile).Jax was definitely closer to me as you can see there are many more pics of him. Tristan only came out for a couple of pics and then back in the house to play Webkinz. LOL!
Kisses from Jax to you:


Weeee!!!!



Webkinz!

Here is Tristan to get a few pics in (oh, and do you see the spazz-puppy Nico too?):


My new favorite pic which I will be distributing soon!

Dawn was giving Jax a "Leaf Shower" in this one- so fun!

Jax modeling his new shoes:

Nico all tuckered out after a hard day of play:


Snack time!


Now some randomly ordered pics form a few weeks ago when Jamie and the girls came up to go to Pumpkinland. Don't let those big brown eyes fool you- Jax was SO crabby and naughty that day! We had to leave early /:

Finally some pics from a few weeks ago at the farm. We all went to the Mill Creek Park and then to the dairy for a few minutes. Nico came along too...(I don't think he's in the pics though):

Jax in the barn:

Tristan showing me the headlocks:

Tristan and Jax "playing" in the Bobcat:

Jax and "Bucky", the Roorda Dairy mascot. Brian has his cage in the office. Apparently he needs a cat too as a mouse has taken up residence in the printer...

Just pretending- don't worry Grandmom! (:

Last but not least, a "baby calf":

Tristan at the Mill Creek Park:

The End.... (:




That's about all for now. Ellie and Gracie are staying over here tomorrow night so I am sure I will have some pics to share after that! (Probably not until they're back home though- I don't know how I'd update the blog with Gracie here...Jamie says she's pulling herself up on everything now! I can't wait to see them!).
