Chasing Your Own Tail

Do you ever feel like you're getting nowhere - like you're chasing your own tail? Well our beagle Jersey can relate!

If you wondered why I love dogs so much - after watching this video, wonder no more!! This kind of entertainment is priceless. The best part is Jerz stumbling away after she's done!

Have a great weekend everyone!!

Thanksgiving Weekend 2007

Well sadly our long holiday weekend is almost over. However, we did have a great time with family this weekend so we can't complain!

On Thursday morning Tom & I ran in the Turkey Trot. It went well for the most part but I sure was sore after "trotting" 3.1 miles. Then we all went to my parents' house for turkey & all the fixings. After eating too much we got into some epic games of Uno.

Gabe & Riley doing some serious strategizing...

Micaela & Kassidy
Even Jay & my mom got into the Uno action later on...(There's an ongoing battle between those two ever since my mom almost took Jay's head off with a line drive in wiffleball game a few years back).
We also got outside for a bit to play some football. Gabe scored about 25 touchdowns on me & Tom - he's tough to defend against!

Gabe & Papa Ron setting up their play.

On Saturday we took off for Glen Ullin to spend time with Jay's family. We of course ate too much again - but that's OK. Diet can always start on Monday! We also got into some game playing while the guys were out hunting and also later on that night. We also helped a bit with Christmas decorations.

McKenzie, Michaela, Sydney & Payton hanging out.

Grandpa playing some Dora Dominoes with the girls.

Sandy & Val involved in our Golf game. (By the way in case you forgot Lyns I won at Golf & at Hearts!) :)

Me & Payton just hanging out.

All in all it was a great weekend. We are just sad it's over. We know we will do it all over again on Christmas which is not very far away!

We hope everyone had as great of a Thanksgiving as we did!

Family and Friends

On Halloween last week, we had just a handful of trick-or-treaters, but they were in the VIP trick-or-treaters category. First, Tom stopped by with his kids. Micaela was a "firework", Gabe was Harry Potter, and Riley was the Spiderman in the black suit.

Then, Chris and Val stopped over with the girls - Payton was a Care Bear and Sydney was a cowgirl.

Lyndsey and Nick also stopped over and visited for a few hours that evening. They weren't dressed up but they did leave a "trick" on our front porch in the form of a jack-o-lantern with something not very nice about UND on there!! We let them in anyways! ;)

My friend Aimee (law school friend who lives in Denver now) came to Bismarck on Sunday. She came over to our place for supper and then she and I went to the Ground Roud to visit. She will be in North Dakota until the 12th. We get her in Bismarck for a couple/few nights! It's been great hanging with her again!! I keep trying to convince her to come live and work in ND again, but no such luck!


Other than that, I have gotten into organizing pictures for some photo albums lately. Maybe it's the weather that makes me want to start a fun indoor project. The "early days" of Jay and me being together are a little sparse on pictures. However, the ones we do have are fun to go through. It always brings back good memories!! Kind of in that nostaligic mood, I guess...

We also have both our grandma's birthdays at the beginning of November. I attached a picture of us with our grandmas at the wedding! (One of my favorite pictures from that day)!
