Kite Flying in ND

Flying a kite in North Dakota is so easy...seriously, we picked it up and it started flying, no real effort...which this mom likes!

Beautiful sky.
I think Eva lifted the kite back into the air about 45 minutes after we got there...it seriously never came down once it was up.

I love this picture.

Eva and Grandma.
I love this picture too- it reminds me of something, was that The Beatles or The Monkeys?

Elle was sleeping this day so we took her back out the next day...

This is hilarious- the last mintue is worth watching the entire 5. You're Welcome.

Elle's Two- May 20th

She was as surprised as any of us!
Getting so old- her hair even grew longer on this trip!

Here's her sweet party decorations- notice the cute balloon flower in the back that Jeremy's sister Cari put together, so cute!

Eva and Grandma got up early and baked a cake together for Elle.

"Elle, SURPRISE!"

Jeremy looks more surprised.

Shockingly enough Elle was more impressed with the balloons.


Happy Birthday dear Elle, Happy Birthday to You!!!



First try...nice.

We decided sign language two was easier than regular two, this pic is blurry but it's the only one I got of her showing us she's two now.


Oh yeah, I think she gets her cake eating skills from Eva.


Present time

All the little grandkids have the same kind of cars.

Elle loved them
And Grandma Reenie gave both the girls babies that came with their own clothes she handmade, you can get cute stuff like this for your girls here.
Those are her caring mom eyes.
She loves babies, she's a very girly girl when it comes to that.

My sweet baby is now two- so pretty much the next day she turned horrendous (just kidding, not really), but I still love her. She has always been able to make us laugh she's a natural talent at everything she's ever attempted and she's only two! I love everything about her even her ridiculous tantrums...why does she have to be so dang cute about everything she does?!

Grandma Reenie and Grandpa Lance's House!!!

They had this amazing backyard- it wasn't fenced in yet but the girls kept inside the boundaries of the yard really well.

Elle being goofy while playing with all the new toys and watching Blue's Clue's.

I'm not really sure what this face is, she makes it when she's being pensive I guess.

Licking the leftover brownie mix. We made this amazing dessert I got from Tracy that she got off of one of my new favorite blogs Eat Me Delicious. SOOO good.

Brower Power Road Trip 2009- Day 1 and 2

All right, in an effort to put an effort into my blog I am posting our sweet vacation trip-

We stayed in a sweet hotel our first night, unfortunately it was the most expensive and the least amount of time. There was a soccer tournament in the town we stopped in, what are the chances? And nothing was available!!
The breakfast in the morning was SUPER good.

Our second night we stopped early to get a nice hotel the girls could swim at and have fun...once again there were no hotels available and this time it was because of a rodeo going on, are you joking me?! So we went to the nearest town over and stayed at a quaint/creepy hotel that was super old. The best part was the girls had their own separate room and they loved that, the bad part was there were no places to eat so we had to get a pizza at the bar across the street and warm sodas...it was still an experience.


We were almost to North Dakota and we stopped at the Red Plains...or something like that, it's like a poor mans Grand Canyon. It was super windy- and very cold- the girls were still in their jammies.
Any place you stand that says: Warning, unstable area. Is a little freaky...

That was the end of day one and two.

we're baaaAAAck!

Picture's to come...someday, I swear. I vow to be a better blogger.
