Emma's Party

Emma had her birthday party Sunday. We had about 30 people over so our was a little crowded but the weather was nice enough for the kids to be outside. Here are some pictures from the party. Our camera is getting old and not working very good so the pictures are sort of blurry. Reggie messed around with it last night so it is worse than normal...he thought he was fixing it!!!

She loved her cake and frosting!

Graduation

On Saturday I graduated with my Masters of Arts in Nursing. I am really excited to be done but I still have my project to finish so I am still having to do homework. I just need to really take some time and focus on it, but that is easier said than done. My goal is to have everything done this fall. Even though I am not completely finished, it is still nice knowing I don't have to go to class anymore!

Weekend Fun

Last weekend was the fishing opener and Reggie went up north with Jason so his wife Bridget brought their son down here to spend the weekend. We just sat around and ate pizza for supper on Friday night but Saturday we went to the Minnesota Zoo. The weather was beautiful and we arrived about 930am after a little detour. The kids had a blast, I just wish they didn't need so many snacks!!! We finally left there around 2pm so the kids could get home and take a nap before the babysitter came over.

We had Brianna the babysitter come over around 7pm so Bridget and another friend Steph and I could go to THUNDER FROM DOWN UNDER!! It is male dancers from Australia. It was so much fun.

It was a great weekend!

Anniversary

In January Reggie and I went with the Greniers to a fundraiser for the Cancer Center in Fergus Falls. They had 100 champagne glasses with a "diamond"attached. One of the 100 is an actual diamond the rest are CZ's. Well I got the CZ but for our wedding anniversary Reggie went and had it put in a ring...ahhh!!! What a romantic!!! It was on my pillow when I came home from class that night. It is beautiful!

Haylees Wedding

Reggie's cousin Haylee got married on May 1st. I don't have a great picture of them so you just have to deal with the dark one I have on here. The girls had so much fun dancing the Chicken Dance and Hokie Pokie. My mom and dad came and took the girls to their house so Reggie and I could have some fun. We ended up getting a room at Thumper Pond where the reception is...too much drinking and we shouldn't be driving!

Grandpa and Grandma Becker

On April 23rd the girls and I rode up to Wadena/Deer Creek with Heather and her boys. Heather came back to visit her parents so we decided to hitch a ride. Heather dropped us off at Bud and Judy's for a couple of hours. The girls had so much fun riding the four wheeler and blowing bubbles. I didn't take any pictures of the rest of the weekend...sorry. Heather should be emailing me some of them but she hasn't yet.
