Trip to Wahpeton Zoo

The latest conversation in our car, as we were headed to the Wahpeton zoo. The kids were so excited, they were talking on top of each other:

Taytum: Jersey, quit talking, I’m trying to tell mom & dad something

Jersey: Fine Taytum, then I’m not going to be your sister anymore

Taytum: Well, I’m already done telling my questions now

Pictures coming soon!

Our new family member!!

Introducing our new nephew & cousin: James Weisser Pollard. Born July 21 at 2:11pm. 8lbs 2oz. 21in. What a cutie!! Congrats Gretta & Jamie...

Fun in the Sun!

.....at Grma and Grpa Vogels and swimming at Bridgit's house!

Taytum spent some time in Iowa with Grma and Grpa, Stacey, Ross & Brett. They had fun camping, golfing, swimming and watching the boys' many baseball games!

What do you do when it's blizzarding?

Think positive and throw a fun beach party! That's what we did. The girls got their swimsuits, sunglasses, sunhats and beachballs out....and we filled up the sinks and had a good ol' fashioned beach party. It might've been freezing and blizzarding outside, but our beach party kept us warm, entertained and laughing all day long...

Good Friends + Good Fun + Good Drinks =

A long day at work that next Monday! But SO WORTH IT! We headed to Aberdeen last weekend to meet Sarah's college friends and their families....and, we acted like we were in college again! :) We had such a great time - the weekend went by way too fast. Between hitting over 1000 ozs on our beer tap at the TAPZ bar (which resulted in getting our pic hung on the wall) and the amount of kids we had between us, we took over that hotel! What a great time...

Happy Valentine's Day

It was a great Valentine's Day weekend! We spent it in Bottineau with Gretta, Jamie (Max the pug, Beans the lab & Taco the kitty) - and Stacey, Ross & Brett made it too. SO much fun! We went snowmobiling, tubing, sledding and just had some really fun family time together. Ross & Brett drove the snowmobiles on the lake for probably 2 hrs straight - they were addicted. Taytum and Jersey got rides and all Jersey said was "Faster, Faster!!!" Bottineau had a great tubing hill as well, so we took advantage of that. I think Taytum, Ross & Brett would've stayed there well into the night....but we had to get going because Gretta had a special Valentine's day dinner planned and topped it off with chocolate fondue for dessert!!
