FALL CHORES

Well, I figured that since mom was leaving on Sunday, I best get some Fall Chores done outside. Especially since I probably wouldn't get to them and the next thing I know it will be cold and snow. I got the Garage cleaned out, so I can fit both vehicles in there. I mowed the lawn and winter fertilized it. I Cleaned out the shed so I could get the summer stuff put away... washed out the sandbox,lawn furniture and cleaned up the lawn mower. I also pressure washed the front porch and front side of the house and driveway. Mom and I moved the lawn swing up onto the porch to help protect it from the winter weather. I worked hard all day long, but I got it all done. Tim I hope you are proud of me!!!!

Gina & Mark's Wedding

August 23, 2008 was a beautiful and highly anticipated day. My friend Gina got married in Minneapolis, MN. Gina is one of my closest friends from college at UND. There is a group of 5 of us girls from college and we all made it for the big event and had a wonderful time catching up with each other. A great time was had by all. Here are some pics from the weekend!!! CONGRATULATIONS GINA & MARK!!!!

NEW FAMILY ADDITION

Isn't she cute. Chloe has joined the Galloway Family. She is 9 weeks old and weighs about 2 lbs. She is 3/4 Shih Tzu 1/4 Yorkie. She should mature to about 6 lbs. To give you an idea on size, Wicket weighs 11 lbs. The kids are absolutely loving her and are really doing good with taking her out to potty and play. She is doing very well in the PottyTraining department. Wicket is tolerating her, letting Chloe know who is in charge, but I think she likes having Chloe run after her. Check out Gillian's face in the first picture... her chin just about hit the ground and she was literally speechless for once!!!!

MEET BURB

Since our family size increased, the need for a bigger vehicle did too. After a couple days of shopping and lots of phone calls and emails back and forth with Tim, we purchased a NEW 2008 Suburban.... it had 18 miles when I took it on a test drive. We are all pretty excited. We named it "BIG BURB"

LITTLE MISS TALKATIVE

Jordyn wants us all to know, that she may be the 4th child, but she isn't going to sit back in a corner..... she wants to be heard.

JENNA RIDING BIKE

Well here she is. Not even 4 yet, and she feels the need to keep up with the big kids. Jenna is riding a 2 - wheeler!!!!!

SUMMER VACATION

Hi Everyone
Sorry that it has been so long since I have updated. We have been so busy and enjoying every minute of our summer vacation in MN. It has been great to see family and friends. We have also tried to go and do a few fun things. Here are a few highlights of our vacation so far.
We spent a week in Belleville, NE (just outside of Omaha) with Tim's parents. We had a nice relaxing time, but it was SOOOOOO HOT!!!! We did go to the Omaha Zoo and it was amazing Best Zoo I have ever been too. My Grandpa Cy came over for a visit one day and my Grandma Doris and Aunts came for a weekend to visit. It was so wonderful to see them all and have my grandparents meet Jordyn. We went to my nephews, Josh and Justin's soccer game. They both played awesome!!!! My friend Elizabeth and her son, David came from Arkansas for a week. We haven't seem them in 4 years so we had a wonderful time catching up. We went to the Mall of America a few times (still don't think we saw everything) Como Zoo, and the Children's Museum. I'm getting pretty good at driving around the cities!!!! We also went to the beach a few times, one time we took the Tigersharks out for some riding.
Gillian and Joelle are already back in Alaska with Grandma Arleen as Gillian started school on Monday. I think the girls have all had a good vacation. I know that I have. We have talked to Tim a few times and he is doing well. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. Jordyn is getting so big. She has found her voice, and scoots herself around on the floor on her back using her legs. She hasn't rolled over yet, but she is getting close. My friend Gina's wedding is this weekend, so I am looking forward to seeing all my college friends and having a good time. Sunday some of my Slick relatives are coming over for a BBQ and then on Tuesday the 26th we fly back to Alaska. I will update you all again soon. Enjoy the slideshow....
