Jay Cooke State Park

 

We have some great church friends who do an annual camping trip to Jay Cooke each year and we decided to take the older two girls this year.  Olivia got to have a weekend with Grandma and Papi.   It was such an incredible weekend and we made reservations for 2013 the day we got back! 

We were there a week before the big floods happened around Duluth and this is the amazing swinging bridge that was destroyed by the raging river.   When we were there they said that the water was already over 8’ higher than normal.  Sadly with the next storm this bridge didn’t stand a chance.   

Mom likes it when the kids can make their own dinner! : )

Smore’s are the perfect treat!Breakfast outside in your PJ’s is always a hit! Ready for another day of hiking and fun!

   

       

Amazing weekend full of fun and memories.  Excited for next year. 

Amaze n Farmyard

 

Each Memorial Day weekend we have a family reunion and part of the tradition is going to this great farmyard not far from the resort we stay at.   Another day full of fun and memories….

    

Mall of America

 

It was a BIG day at the Mall of America today,  after many times trying and coming up just a little short Norah was finally tall enough to ride on the swings.  

 

She was one happy lady as you can see. 

Sisters

 

One of the best parts about having 3 girls is watching these little ladies become more than sisters.  Emma and Norah have been so sweet to Olivia from day one and to see her try to be like her big sisters everyday is so amazing. 

Preschool Graduation

 

Emma is the proud graduate of St Thomas preschool.   We are proud of her.

 

Her teachers, Mrs. Burg and Ms. Kathy

  

Emma loved preschool and wanted one more photo by her cubby. 

Mother’s Day 2012

 

I can sum up Mother’s Day with one word…. Blessed.

I am so blessed to be home with these ladies everyday.  I am so blessed to have a husband that works really hard and provides for his family.  I am so blessed that our girls love each other.  We are blessed. 

Norah loves Dora!
