photo scavenger hunt #2

During the month of June I participated in another photo scavenger hunt, sponsored by Kristi. I found this one more challenging than the last one for some reason, and I totally dropped the ball on a couple of these (check out #s 16 and 18 for example). Kristi has set up a separate blog for [...]

a berry, berry good time

(cheesy title brought to you by: FatJ)
Saturday we went strawberry picking at the Bauer Berry Farm. We had never been berry picking before, so we weren’t sure what to expect. All we knew is that we wanted a nice big load of yummy juicy berries. Each adult was assigned a row of strawberry plants, and [...]

let’s talk cuteness, shall we

Today my SIL Katie returned the bassinet that she had borrowed when my little nephew Brady was born. {Actually the bassinet has held two babies since we used it for Ryan- little Luke used it too!} Anyway, today the bassinet was returned to our possession, and as with anything ‘new’, Ryan developed an instant obsession [...]

june 21

A quad-fecta of celebrations; that’s what today was. And I was involved in some major photog-slacking, so I didn’t even document everything I should have.
First of all, it was my mom’s 60th birthday. Nope, didn’t even take a shot of her celebrating or anything. Here she is in the background though, watching her two grandsons [...]

Here’s a shout-out to FatJ for completing the Grandma’s/Gary Bjorklund Half Marathon in Duluth, MN on Saturday!! In a town known for it’s foggy, cool summer days, luck would have it that whenever FatJ runs this event (that would be ‘07 and ‘09), it ends up being unusually hot, sunny and muggy.

CABOODLES!

Remember these crazy, plastic, hideously colored tackle-box like contraptions from the 80s?? [FESS UP- I KNOW YOU HAD ONE TOO!!]  Females of all ages used these to store makeup and toiletries and jewelry and  other what-not from the decade of mall bangs and jelly bracelets.
I owned two of them. And I will confess that both [...]
