Blog Worthy Pictures

Here are some random pictures taken in April.

Gavin and Elliot love sleeping together. One night Elliot asked if they could sleep in his tent, so they made themselves a cozy little bed and slept in th tent in Gavin's bedroom. They have so much fun together and Elliot really looks up to his big brother.

Elliot and Grant mowing the lawn together. They had to stop to discuss something very improtant!

The month of Apil has been so beautiful. We have had many days that have been in the mid to upper 70's. It is hard to believe that my kids would be in shorts and a tank in the middle of April in Minnesota.

Of course the one weekend that wasn't so nice was the weekend we were all at the lake. It didn't stop Elliot and Grandpa from fishing though. I didn't get any pictures of the two of them together, but they spent a good protion of the weekend out on the dock fishing. Reading a good book with Grandpa

Whitney showing off her new tutu outfit she got from Grandma Peg. She loves it and of course she looks adorable in it!

The Circus!

A few weeks ago we took the kids to the Shriner's circus. Elliot really enjoyed seeing all the animals. Whitney's main focus was to walk around, which wasn't an option at all times. So she struggled a little bit, but all in all it was a fun evening.

The Sagers

Teddy is Back!

Teddy was given to Elliot from Aunt Lorelei and Uncle Ryan when he was first born. Teddy has become to be pretty special to Elliot. We had about a month period when Teddy was missing. Elliot handled this pretty well, but sure missed him. We looked everywhere for Teddy and couldn't find him anywhere. We thought for sure that Teddy was gone. Then one day Grant decided to check one more place, under Whitney's crib (the only place we hadn't looked), and sure enough there he was. Elliot was one excited little boy to see his Teddy again!

Easter Part 2

On Easter Sunday the kids and I got back home at about 6:00 in te morning. We rode the train back from Williston. We came home took some naps and then got all dressed up to take part in some more Easter festivities. We went to my Aunt Jeanies house for Easter brunch with Ryan and Lorelei. After brunch they had an Easter egg hunt, which both of the kids had experience in. After visiting with the Whitney side of the family we went to the nursing home to see my mom, Grandma, and Grandpa.

Here are the kids with Great Grandma Lindahl

Easter Part 1

When we were in Williston we celebrated Easter with Grant, Grandpa Todd, and Grandma and Grandpa Sala. Since we had to leave on the train Saturday evening the Easter bunny came Saturday morning.

Spring Break

For spring break the kids and I spent the week in Williston with Grant. We had a nice week and it was fun to all be together! The bonus of the trip was that we got to spend time with our grandma's and grandpa's.

Are we there yet????

Grandma and Grandpa Sala sure have some YUMMY cookies!!

Sitting at the train depot in Williston waiting for Grandma Peg's train to come. She was headed to Minneapolis, so we had a quick visit with her when the train came through Williston.

Random Pictures from the Month of March

This post is a bunch of random pictures that I had taken in the month of March that I thought were blog worthy.

Grant and I go a chance to go out for supper a couple of weeks ago and actually got a pictre taken together.

Whitney sporting her new hat

Whitney has figured out how to get on her rocker on her own now, so there are many days I will walk in her room and find her rocking herself. She is always so proud of herself!

Look at me! I just have to keep up with my big brothers!!

Enjoying the beautiful spring weather. We have had an unbelievable spring. This the first March in a long time or ever that we have not had snow. In fact last week it even got up into the high 70's. Of couse we were gone and it was not as nice in ND where we were! Oh well we have still been able to enjoy the weather.

I believe the famous last words before I captured this picture were "I am not tired mom".

Elliot with his best buddy, Jack!
