Grandma and Grandpa

My mom and dad came to visit the weekend after Easter. Allie played lots of games with them. She did a great job of tiring Grandpa out by having him go on walks with her and Etnie. We also enjoyed many DQ treats while they were here.

Gymnastics

This spring we signed Allie up for a community education class. It was a 4 week gymnastics class. She loved it and wanted to keep doing it, but we thought we would try a couple other classes before deciding on one thing. She would also like to try dance, hopefully this fall. We have swimming lessons coming up at the end of June also. She loved jumping in the foam pit and doing flips over the bar, once she got the hang of it.

Dying Easter Eggs

Our Bunny House

Allie helped me make pizza one evening for dinner. We had to make two because she didn't want the same kind as mommy and daddy. Allie's cheese pizza is pictured above. Mommy and daddy's pizza is below (Canadian Bacon Sauerkraut) yum, yum! Allie did a great job putting all the ingredients on the pizzas.

Jeremy got me these beautiful purple roses for my birthday. I love flowers and these were very beautiful. Thanks, honey!!

Allie making play-doh ice cream cones with Heather on valentine's day.

Etnie had a great time playing with Buddy at auntie Pat's house.

Allie and Lee hanging out. Allie did manage to shove her stinky socks in Lee's face. She thought it was hilarious.

KENLIE

"Smiling"

"Yawning"

"Eyes Open," which didn't happen very much while I was there. That doesn't mean that I didn't cuddle with her though. I'm very excited because they will be coming to Rochester in a couple of weeks!!

Allie came in while I was changing Kenlie's diaper and told Kenlie "I'm your big cousin!" She was very excited to see Kenlie. Of course she didn't like sitting in one place for very long. I thought she would be a little jealous but she wasn't.

A day with the Great Grandparents

On Thursday we headed to Bottineau to see as many people as possible in one day. First we headed to the Pizza Inn for lunch with Grandma Lori, Grandpa John, Auntie Pat and Cousin Barb. Then we headed to Ruth and Norvin's house. Allie and Grandma Ruth had a great time baking play-dough cookies and singing Jesus Loves Me.

Then we headed to my Grandma Florence's house(my dad's mom). Allie had a great time finding stuffed animals and crafts that my grandma had made.

Then we headed to Grandma Ella's house in Landa(my mom's mom). Grandma Lori and Grandpa John met us in Landa to visit with Grandma. It was good to get to see Grandma Ella while we were home. Allie really enjoyed the puffed corn that grandma had for her to snack on.

Then we headed back to Minot, with a quick stop at the Pita Pit when we got there. I can't go to Minot without stopping. It's just too good!

Trip to ND

Allie and I left for Fergus Falls last Tuesday, so that we would miss the big storm. (Jeremy wasn't able to get time off to go with). We stopped by Albertville for some quick shopping and got to Fergus in time to enjoy some Chicken Noodle Soup and Freshly baked bread. It was so yummy!! On Wednesday we got up and headed to Minot to see my beautiful niece and Allie's little cousin and everybody else of course. Here are some pictures of Kenlie James.

Cookies

Allie and I spent one evening baking some cutout cookies and some thumbprint cookies. Allie loved putting sprinkles and M&M's on the cookies. Of course there aren't many cookies left because we took some to ND when we went, so this weekend we will be baking more!
