Tiff Knows Best!

You all know my creative friend Tiff, well, she's done it again! For Sally's birthday she made her an adorable bean bag cover. At first Sally wasn't too sure about her new seat, but now she has come to love it!

She also made a CD for Sally of Sunday School Jams! Sally's been doing a great job of improving her dance skills! She has even started to pick up her feet and tap them like she's dancing, when she's standing. She's really gotten the shimmy down as well. I'll try and get a good video of it one of these days!

Cheeese!

Sally has become so much more playful and understanding of her silliness! Our days have been filled with even more smiles and laughter...if that's even possible! This was our lunch from yesterday!

I love this Bar

Sorry for the late post today, blogger was down for some maintenance.

We had a wonderful weekend! We went out for a double date with our good friends Kyle and Laura and used our neighbor across the street to babysit! She was wonderful, we came home to a spotless house and a peacefully sleeping baby. How lucky are we to have found such a wonderful babysitter and she lives across the street! Ready or not, here come regular date nights!

We went to Toby Keith's I Love This Bar. We had a great time! Their prices were amazing, as well as their food! We will be going back for sure!

Sunday was a beautiful day so we ended up going to Grand Old Days in Saint Paul. Sally is just like her mama and loves to people watch. This was the place for her! She was mesmerized by all of the people, kids and puppies!

We hope you had a wonderful weekend as well!

**Yes, we're aware that we are all matching. No, we did not plan this**

COWBOYS...

COWGIRLS...

3 years ago on June 5, Reid proposed...Cheers!

Aren't they so cute!

Grand Old Days Crowd....

**I think this may very well be the first post without a picture of Sally?? No need to worry, many more photos and videos of her this week!**

Joerger Genes

The Joerger's are Nana's side of the family. Their genes are very prominent! All the cousins, uncles, aunts and grandchildren look alike. They also get their craziness from one another! It was so good to see and catch up with the family members that live in Kansas. When can you move to Minnesota?

Every year they have a family help weekend where they help with yard and house projects at a designated spot. This year was at the Grandparents' farm in Vining, MN. Sally enjoyed the rocking horse she got to ride! Mark, did you get any paint on the barn? Also, let me know when you're ready for my order!

Memorable Memorial Weekend

Crazy to think that a year ago we went home for Memorial Weekend and Sally was only 3 weeks old! This trip, we were helping her to try and take her first step! My how quickly life moves! Lots of pictures in today's post!

Playing with Cousin William, looking out Grandma's window seat at the pelicans on the lake!

We break all the rules on vacation and let Sally crawl on the driveway with her pajamas on!
Enjoying the lovely summer day with Grandma and cousins!


Cooling off in the pool! It was hot Hot HOT!


We were trying to get Sally to take her first step, but she was a little distracted with the ducks. Take a look at those rolls!

Spending the rainy afternoon with Grandma and Lucy! Knock Knock

We can do it just like Grandma!

Eating breakfast with Grandma. We discovered Sally loves bananas in her cereal, but then again, did you see her rolls, what doesn't she love?!

We had to make sure to get some time in at Nana and Grandpa's house. Here's Sally's "special" signature look!


We enjoyed a happy hour at the Arrowwood Deck Bar. We were entertained by William and his dance moves!

Cheers to a memorable Memorial Weekend!

Great Grandma Craigmile

"Great Grandma, I just love your pretty pretty necklace!"


Lots of love and support!

Sally hanging out with her Great Aunt Carol, and her 2nd (?) cousin, Jennifer!

We stayed over night at the Caribou Inn. Sally thought it was pretty funny when she woke up and realized she was right next to Mommy and Daddy's bed. She quickly stood up and said "Hiiii!"

One more video from the return trip!

Home Sweet Home!

We made it! 12 hours total, maybe a little more. 10 of those hours were in less than 24 hours! Yikes. Here's our lovely view for most of the ride....booooring!

From the cities to Hallock we went through NINE, yes, 9, construction areas. Each lasting at least 10 miles. It was kind of funny, the farther North we got, the faster the construction zone speed limit was because there is no one around!

The funniest thing we saw?? The one and only Oscar Meyer Weiner Truck! Our nephew Cannon saw it as well and yelled out "Hot Dog!"


On our final turn down the homestretch to the Farm in Hallock we saw this sign. I didn't get a picture the first time because I was laughing so hard. It might not be that funny to you, but we were pretty delirious after our trek through the state. I quickly got a picture as we were leaving..."Hallock-14 miles, Canada-35 miles!"

How did Sal Pal do? Wonderfully! She is an excellent car rider! Thank goodness we flipped her car seat. She had so much fun playing games with Mommy and Daddy, eating snacks, playing with toys, and looking out the window!


She may be a gymnast when she grows up, she's constantly doing the splits and pointing her toes!

She slept a total of 2 hours, there was just too much for this Dollie to look at...one farm land after another, she didn't want to miss a thing!

More to come this week with pictures and videos of the rest of our memorial day weekend of playing with cousins, grandparents and ducks!

It's good to be home!
