IT'S A.................

Last weekend we all got to find out the sex of Ryan and Lorelei's baby. They had their ultrasound last Friday and had their DR. write down the sex of the baby and then put it in a sealed envelope. They then had a cake made and when they cut into it we all found out together whether it was a boy or girl. Lorelei's sister got them pink and blue balloons for the occassion.

This is before they cut into the cake

Whitney will now have a little friend to play with! I can't wait to meet my new niece in January!

Go Twins!

Towards the end of August we took Gavin and Elliot to the Twins game to see Target Field. We went with our friends Jed, Becky, and Jack. The boys had alot of fun!! This was Gavin's first major league baseball game.

Elliot loved the kettle korn!

Sharing with Jack

Eating seeds with dad

Trip to Williston

While in Williston we did lots of fun things. We were there for a week and packed alot of stuff into the week!

The kids and I got to spend alot of time with Great Grandma Mildred.

The boys enjoyed playing with the buttons in great grandma's chair.

We went camping at Blacktail. The kids had lots of fun swimming, playing in the sand and playing in the camper.

We got suckers!

The boys picked strawberries with Grandpa Sala

We went to the park several times! There is a new park close to grandma and grandpa's house.

The boys got to go shooting with Grandpa and Dad

They enjoyed playing in the sprinkler

Whitney liked drinking the water

We spent a day with my friend Rhiannon and her baby Kyn. Whitney absolutely adored Kyn and couldn't get enough of him. Poor Kyn!

She loves to give kisses. Kyn got plenty of loving on that day!! I was trying to get Whitney to give him kisses on the forehead, but nope they had to be smack on the lips.

We spent an afternoon with my friend Linzy and her girls. They kids had fun playing dress up. Gavin was very excited to get this picture of Elliot. I am not sure what I was thinking, but I didn't get any pictures of Linzy and her girls. :-(

We also spent a night with Grandpa Todd. The kids always have fun with Grandpa Todd on his big machines!

As you can see we were very busy, but had lots of fun!

We miss you Grandma Peg!

My mom was in the cities for the summer. We were able to spend quite a bit of time with her this summer. She came and spent 2 days with us before she left to go back to MT. We had lots of fun shopping, playing, and swimming.

Grandma Peg bought Elliot a backpack for preschool. He starts on September 9th. He is one excited boy!

Little Miss Whitney could not be left out, so Grandma Peg also bought her a new backpack.

and we couldn't end the visit without reading books!
