My husband is the BEST CHEF EVER!! Tonighe he cooked Halibut that one of the guys he works with brought back from Alaska and veggies in a tangy sauce --- grill style!! YUMMY, YUMMY!!

Thanks Honey! I'm so lucky to have you...

First Day of School 2010

INTRODUCING.....My FIFTH Grader!

My SECOND Grader....
and my BRAND NEW KINDERGARTENER!!

Sweet little faces...

Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton REBELS!

I practically had to run to keep up with them!

Have a good day, Aiden!

Love you, Sweet Pea!

Parker sneaked right by me into the building! I thought that since this is the 3rd one I've sent off to school, it would be EASY to watch her go...NOPE! Teared-up again....

Golfing the Ponderosa with Friends

September 5th, 2010

I was ambushed this morning by this group of cuties! There I was, minding my own business at the computer and these stinkers, INCLUDING the Lund boys' dad, Brian came in the house and asked me if I would go golfing with them (well, actually just take them golfing as I don't golf!). How can you say "no" to these faces?? Not to mention it's one of their last days of freedom...school starts in 2 days!

Parker and his buddy, Nicholas!

The golf course is so peaceful...

Even Sweet Pea gets to take out her new PINK driver!

Comin' out of the bunker

Brothers....Friends (most of the time!)

I can just imagine the conversation they are having...

Cute bridge, cute kids

Figuring out the putting order

Look at these charming buddies! Aiden and Benny

Nice swing Bubba!

Whoo Aiden!!

Too bad the sun was so bright --- what a good day!

New Smell

September 4th,2010

I found a new scent that I absolutely LOVE --- in fact, I could bathe in it! It's called perfume; however, it doesn't have that chemically smell, it's more NATURAL, like a delicious oil. The scent is Honey Coconut...lovely and light!

Rollag Steam Threshers Reunion 2010

We left early this morning for Rollag --- Grandma Pam wanted to eat breakfast there!

Look at this crew!

Early morning...pretty!
The kiddos, waiting in line for breakfast! It's a little chilly this morning!

We had to stop and get our walking sticks! The blacksmith even branded them for us!

The traditional pic in front of the old fashioned gas pump!

Waiting for the kids train ride...

Toot! Toot!

I love these old water pumps!

The horses were out today --- this one was waiting to be re-shoed! Parker has a way with animals...I think they know he has a gentle soul!

This one was HUNGRY --- Savannah was more than happy to feed her clovers!

Aiden's turn...he kept giggling because "it tickles"!!

SMILE KIDDOS!

Now it's time for old fashioned ICE CREAM from the General Store!! Strawberry---with real chunks in it, YUMMY!!

This is in the antique lamp cabin ... here you can see the old heaters...yes, even OLDER than the kerosene ones!

My mom is a Nelson!

Large wheel much? WOW!!

Where are we again? Oh yeah...ROLLAG!! Whoo!

Another successful trip back in time...my Gramps always used to say that it's"cool" for the kids nowdays to see what things were like back then, but it was REALLY hard work to live that way...I can only imagine....

Let's Play Croquet!

Great-grandma Pat and Bubba!

One last weekend at the lake! Savannah's not interested in croquet...she's excited she gets the hammock to herself!

The Grandma's
Aiden is a multi-tasker -- uses the hammer as a guitar when it's not his turn!

Hi Mom!!

Hi Parker!

Back To School Night 2010

September 2nd, 2010
It's ALREADY back to school time! Hard to believe our short summer is over...sniff, sniff! So, back we go to school --- bringing our supplies,meeting our teachers, and listening to the rules of the classroom!
Savannah is looking to her big brother for advice! So sweet!

Here are my three darlings--- it is SO HARD for me to believe that I have a 5th grader, a 2nd grader and a Kindergartener!! No, I'm not old....I just started YOUNG!
Savannah's FIRST LOCKER! She was SO EXCITED!

And here is her table spot! It even had her name on it!

And here she is with her awesome Kindergarten teacher --- Mrs. K. We know it's gonna be a good year ahead!

Now for my big 5th grader --- note, I have to bring my camera to back to school night because I'm NOT ALLOWED into the school on the 1st day back!! Hahahaha! I told Parker to just tell his friends right off the bat that his mom is crazy...then they won't hold it against him!

Man! He looks so much older than last year!

Perker is FInALLY back in the same class as his old buddy, Ethan! They haven't been in class together since Kindergarten!!

Parker has Mrs. M for his teacher this year --- he is glad even though he is not allowed to show it --- hahahaha!

And Mr. Aiden! HE gets to be on the 2nd floor this year! Look at that cool star above his locker!

He was excited to see that his desk was stocked with books already! I think he's gonna do JUST FINE this year!!

After all....you can't go wrong with Mrs. B! She has 6 kids and is the most mild-mannered (yet structured) person I've ever met!! Actually, she lived behind me when I was growing up! A true class act!

Gettin' off to a good start --- GO REBELS!!
