FAMILY

When you gather....you take pictures!!

...hummm...I didn't realize how tall my son-in-law is! ;)

...and Eli with his 'red power tie'!!
All business! (naa...too cute!)

His hand....

so strong yet so gentle

held me when I came into this world

guided me through my life

taught me to work

and to play

walked me down the isle

held my children

fought for his life

when the fight was done

I was there to hold his hand

as he took his last breath

life will go on

he will live on

in my heart

in my children

in all my family

WHAT I DID IN MY SPARE TIME!!

For the last 5 or 6 years I have been helping with the Kandiyohi Men's Club's "Santa Semi"! They decorate a semi trailer with Christmas lights....find volunteers to dress-up in costumes and go to 4-5 towns a night for four nights, to spread Holiday Cheer. Each town has their own Santa who gets on the semi with us and we ride into town dancing to rockin' holiday music! Lots of work but lots of fun!! On the last day(Sunday) we go to the nursing homes in Willmar....and as my dad is living at one I told my family what time we would be there so they could see what I have been up to!!

Randi and Eli came home for the occasion!!

Santa and Mrs. Claus led our group!

Here is me(Bear) with my dad!

Eli wasn't to sure at first but when he figured out it was Nana he was okay!

So fun to have my girls there!

Here is a few of my friends with my dad!!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

With Love, 'Bear'

Boy on the Go!!!

He rarely sits still....just to eat and sleep!!

We had so much fun having Eli and his mommy and daddy stay with us this past weekend!


Eli had so much fun that he didn't want to go home!!

(You can see the reflection of his parents car in the door! They were waving good by thinking he would run to them.....no! He just waved and said 'bye'!!! So glad he likes being at Nana and Papa's!)

Dear Friends!

Megan and Rikka have been friends for ever....it seems!

They have shared so many special times!

And this fall as one of Rikka's bridesmaids,

Megan will be there for her special day!!

Congratulations, Rikka!

Down on the Farm.....

We spent the weekend in Green Valley with Tim's parents....Randi, Eli and Nick were there too!

On Saturday Tim and I went over to mow at my dad's farm (hence the sweaty hair)..... I'm getting use to the 1948 Allis Chalmers 'C' tractor. It's always good to go back to our roots!

WHAT DID WE DO THIS SUMMER? PART 2

After the beautiful scenery in Canada we headed to Glacier National Park in Montana! Banff was breath taking but Glacier is our favorite!

Lori caught this doe right on the side of the road....Tim and I were in the lead and totally missed her.(we could have reached out and touched her but with all there is to look at we were looking the other way)

Going to the Sun Highway!

By motorcycle.... the best way to see it!

As I took this pic of Lori and Jeff by the Weeping Wall (which was bawling this year)....

....Lori was taking this pic of Tim and I!

Loved the wild flowers!

Indian Paint Brush

Logan's Pass Wildlife!

Who minds a little road construction when you have views like this.........

Nature's Picture Frame!

Leaving Glacier.....the last views of the mountains!

End of the day.....end of the trip.....

just a few miles to go!!
