A Day With Grandma Maggie

We decided late Saturday afternoon that we were going to see Grandma on Sunday. We got up and headed out. The trip down was long, potty breaks, crabby kids, and a gas stop. We picked Grandma up and took her out for lunch, she forgot we were coming and thought that they just weren't going to feed her. We sat a chair outside for her at the Quarry Lodge and she held Owen and watched the other kids play with rocks. Abbie and Drew picked a bunch of dandelions for her and made her a rock collection. Evan ran around and burned some energy. Then we went to the cemetery and the kids cleaned off their head stone. Evan and Grandma kicked around a soccer ball and I made sure that I had a good grip of her! She even turned it over and said it was her hockey stick but she couldn't hit the ball. Then we went for a drive around Elgin. We got back to Eagle Ridge and she wanted to watch the video that was made form their old home movies, she claims to have never seen it. She loved watching it and was tapping her feet to the music. She watched the kids up and down the halls. After 5 hours we had to head home but we had a great time and she laughed a lot and smiled while she watched the kids play. Then the kids and I spent Monday recovering from our trip to IA. I'm just glad that we are able to go and see her, even if only for a few hours.

Hope everybody is having a good week.

Easter

Hello,
Here is the bunch from Easter. We went to our church in the AM. The kids found their eggs and then we went to the Keeley family farm. It is Rosemary's husband's Uncle's farm. Everybody had a great time! The kids got to play outside for a while when the sun came out. Then we came home and they played with their stuff from the Easter Bunny.
Evan had to go back to school today and couldn't get out of the house fast enough this AM. He was diappointed that his Dad was taking him and that he couldn't ride the bus but they had to go and look for a sweatshirt that he lost at school. The rest of us don't have mcuh planned for the day. Go out and enjoy the weather!!!
Have a great week!!!!!
Love,
Krista

MN Zoo

Here is a photo of the kids and I on out trip to the MN Zoo on Thursday. We had a great time and the kids were all so good and we were able to see everything there in only 4 1/2 hours.

After the Zoo we dropped Evan off with Grandma Dolly and Grandpa Gordy. They just dropped him off today and he had a great time with them and his friend Andrew. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!!!

We went to Good Friday church with the three kids and that was a little wild since it started at 7 and that is when they are usually getting ready for bed.

Lazy Saturday and then Easter church at 8:30, egg huunt at home and then we are meeting Rosemary, Mark, Uncle Jeff (Ken's brother), Mark's sister Kathy, maybe Mark's brother Matt and his family at Mark's family farm for lunch. Busy day!!!

The weather is gorgeous today!!! Stephanie's baby Jaden had surgery Friday and so far is doing well. We continue to pray for strength for all of them!!

Love,

Owen's First Birthday-Who wouldn't want to kiss that face!!!

Hi,
We went and saw Steph and Sal and baby Jaden, Ethan, Ashley, Uncle Kurt, and Aunt Mattie too. they are doing very well. Jaden definately has the stubborness of a Krueger in him! He is a little fighter and ohhhhhhhh so cute!!! They have a great room to stay in while they are there. They have had so much support to help them this far and it is great to see it continue!!
We had Owen's party at Grandma Dolly and Grandpa Gordy's yesterday and there was chocolate cupcakes all over the place and faces too. We all had a great time. I will put Owen's messy face here. After the party we went to Grandma Rosemary's and Grandpa Mark's and had spaghetti. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.
Getting kids to bed and going to work out!!
Hope to hear from you soon!!!

I can't believe that it is Thursday already. I guess all that shopping got to me!!! We have been busy with some Spring cleaning and getting the Easter decorations outside. The kids love the warm weather and have been out everyday this week. We went to an Easter Egg hunt on Tuesday and they got some candy.

My cousin Stephanie had a beautiful little boy on Tuesday, Jaden. They will stay in Minneapolis for a while, as he needs heart surgery. All the prayers that were said for that little guy, seemed to have helped. He may have his first surgery as early as the 11th. They are having some tough days ahead of them so all the prayers they can get the better. He so adorable. Please pray for strength for all of them.

We got our pictures back and I will be trying to figure out how to get them onto here from our scanner. The disc that I got with the pictures didn't have all of them on it so they are trying to fix it.

All for now.
Love,
Krista

We had a really great time shopping and did we ever walk. We were all excited to be buying smaller clothes. We went to the outlet center in Albertville and to the Mall of America. For our night time entertainment we went to a club called the Gay 90's. I must admit that it is caziest place that I have ever been. We watched a cross dresser's show and I am still wondering how those men get on these VERY little women's outfits, bikini's, thongs...........I don't understand but it was quite entertaining. A good learning experience! We spent alot of money, ate too much food, and had a great time!! We should do it every year!!!

Have a great week!!
