Mr. Big Spoon

For some reason, Sylvia enjoys using adult sized spoons more than her baby sized spoons.




Here she is enjoying a nice bowl of applesauce and yogurt.

"I said NO cameras!"

Blake's B-day

To celebrate Blake's birthday we had pizza and cupcakes.


The kids painted a bird house for grandma's birthday.
Lead did a good job of keeping the paint on the bird house.

I think Sylvia would have preferred adding art work to Leah's walls.

I tried to get a picture of the cousins, but getting them to all look and smile at the same time is pretty hard.

Happy Halloween!

For Grandma's Only

Here are some more cute pics from last weekend.

Fall Celbration

This past weekend was the 2nd annual fall celbration at Cokato Lake. The weather somewhat cooperated and several of our friends and family were able to attend.

It seems that Jamie was trigger happy on the camera, so we will let the pictures explain the days festivities.

Look out for the pumpkin eating monkey!


Turns out, Monkeys like trains...



I love campfires. Especially, the ones with a cool chimney

Sylvia's 1st pile of leaves

Of course the day went by way too fast, but marks the end of a way too short Summer and Fall. I can't wait until next Spring when we can invite the gang out to the lake again.

If she didn't look like her dad, I would really question that she is mine!


Sylvia's latest hobby includes sweeping the floor. She even sweeps under the bed!

You missed a spot!

If you look closely at her nose, you will see beads of sweat. It could be that she is working so hard, or maybe that she is wearing her winter jacket in the house...


This isn't the only broom she likes. Sylvia grabbed our curling brooms and had an absolute fit when we took them away. We may have a future Olympian on our hands.

Little Bear

I think the naughty little bear was looking for hunny and then she wasn't sure how to get down.
