Aren't they cute!


I figured it was time to introduce you to some of my kids. There are a few missing in these pictures but it gives you an idea of who I see all day. In every group there's the clown, the drama queen, the shy one, the loud mouth and of course the bully. I have all of those and more. Some in the same child, I swear they have multiple personality disorders. It makes for an interesting day. Most days I start at 5:30am and end at 5:45pm and have 8 during the day. They range in age from 3mo. to 5 years. then I get 3 more after school. Randy says there is not enough beer in the world to stay home with this bunch.....but we're working on a 5th wheel full of Yuengling coming this way. (Missy will appreciate that).

Don't you just love North Dakota

This is what we woke to this morning. School is called off and all the kids are home. (They did the driveway) YEAH! Nick even went and bought me coffee, isn't he a good boy. Yesterday all the kids we're playing baseball in the yard and today they had to shovel, isn't North Dakota life great! By the middle of next week it's expected to be 69 degrees outside so I guess this won't last to long.

cities trip

Cities Trip

We recently went to the cities for 3 days for a little getaway. On the way we stopped to see the worlds largest ball of twine. Yes, that's what I said!! Turned out it wasn't such a great idea it was just a stinky ball of string... Then on to Wisconsin to tour the Leinenkugel brewery. Most parents take their kids to water or amusement parks, but not us. We like our beer! We also spent time at the Mall of America and Bryant Lake Bowl. A new favorite of ours in Minneapolis. All in all it was a great trip and a fun 11th Birthday for Jacob.

Back to Blogging

I'm Finally back to my blogging again. Life hasn't slowed down but I found a moment to update everyone one whats up. The Kids are doing fine, wrestling is all done for everyone. Now we are on to track, and Nick has started 6:00am football practice Mondays. It's weird to be thinking football and track with snow still on the ground but I guess that's the joy (ha ha) of North Dakota.
