Happy Birthday Dad!

Happy Birthday Dad! Hope you were able to get out and ride the cycle today and hope you had a great birthday!!! See you soon!

Where was I?

Ok, found the camera and some time to sit at the computer so I will try and update all that's gone on.

Flood waters are slowly going down. Here are the photo's that I promised to post:


Hwy 169 From St. Peter to LeSueur
County Road 8 Looking from LeSueur (this is the road Brian takes in to work)

The white stuff on the side of the road is not snow, it's the waves from the rush of the water!






Pictures from the Girls BB game at Target Center:

Levi with ice cream! Yes he has TWO spoons!
The kids and some of their friends

Even Natalie got into the game!

I'll see what else I can find tomorrow...for now I'm heading to bed!

Wasn't it a beautiful day today??!! :)

Flood Waters

Last Sunday Brian, the girls and I went on a joy ride to see the flooding around St. Peter and LeSueur. It's amazing! The water on Hwy169 on the way to LeSueur was all the way up to the side of the road-it's a little freaky being that close to it but cool too. The road that Brian takes into LeSueur is closed because a big portion of the road disappeared under the river. We took the girls down to it and it again was pretty amazing. Our friends the Yosts, are currently living at Jess's parents home which is now on their very own island. The river has overflowed it's banks and their driveway and road to their house is under water. They have to hike on higherground thru some woods to a pump station where they park their cars. Jessica and Charlie have 2 little kids so they haven't done a whole lot of traveling off the farm. And the currant of the river is so strong and forceful-just imagine the energy it takes to move that much water. I will post pictures of our adventures as soon as the camera is located! :) It's around here somewhere....

Welcome to the World

Congrats to our friends the Lundquists on welcoming little Beckham Daniel into their lives. Beckham was born 3 weeks early on March 22nd. He weighed 9 lbs 5 oz. the same as his big brother Kael and big sister Elli. He's adorable guys!!! We're so happy for you!

A Father's Love

Brian took Caitlin and Emily on "dates" this weekend and the girls each had a very special and memorable time. On Friday night he took Caitlin to Mankato to the Girls BB game and then out for ice cream at Coldstone Creamery. On Saturday night he took Emily to the Father/Daughter dance at the community center. They got dressed up in their finest and Brian even bought Emily a bouquet of flowers. There was dancing and food and fun activities. Luckily Rachel didn't feel too slighted as she knows it's her turn next! I'm waiting for my turn too!!!

Yeah Saints!!

An exciting game lastnight took place at MSU with the St. Peter Saints Girls BB team taking on BEA. In overtime, St. Peter won by 1 point-made by our babysitter AnneMarie Brown!!!! She also made her 1000th point and she's just a junior! The Saints play on Wednesday in the State Tourney!! Goooooooooo Saints!

Happy Birthday Uncle Bobby!

Happy Birthday to you, you look like a monkey and you smell like one too! Have a good one Bobby!
