I knew this day would come...

Sunday I returned home from a nice trip to St. Cloud(I even got to go all by myself) and I walked in to the toy room were the kids were playing ever so nicely to find BOTH Nick and Madi pregnant and having babies??? As they put it "look Mom we have a baby in our belly, oh and now it is coming out!" Thank goodness they think that babies comes out of the bottom of the shirt. I told Dave about it and he just laughed and said "well, what do you expect they have 2 Aunts that are pregnant!" I knew this day would come and I am just happy that they didn't ask any additional questions. I don't know if I am ready for that yet!

Summer is flying by!

One of Nick and Madi's favorite things to do is to take a walk through Grandpa Richard's alfalfa field, I am thankful this year that it isn't corn...at least I can see them in an alfalfa field. Next year may be a different story!



This summer is just flying by with all our camping trips and just keeping up with life. Our garden is growing at full speed ahead! I have started the sauerkraut process and cucumbers so far. Thankfully the hail storm that dented Dave's work truck and the north side of our home didn't destroy the garden. Mother nature and I need to have a serious chat...I don't even have a chance to not like the color or our roof or siding and then she goes and puts some dents in it=) I like to think that have have certain powers but controlling Mother Nature is not one of them!! We have one more weekend to go then up to Lax Lake in Silver Bay we go. That is the annual Eckhoff camping trip that we are going to extend for a couple of days and turn into our family trip. On our way home that Sunday we are going to stop in Duluth and stay at Indian Point Campground for a couple of nights. There is so much to do in Duluth so I know that we will not run out of things to do. Lax Lake is a ways away but it is one of my favorite places to go so if anyone is ever looking for a quiet, secluded, absolutely beautiful place to camp check it out.

Winstock 2010

2010 Winstock proved to be a good time rain or shine! We had a total of nine campsites this year and next year we are increasing it by two more! I am looking forward to it already! We all enjoyed good music, good food and drinks and especially good friends. Can't go wrong with that combination!!
