catch up!!

I have to apologize I haven't been too faithful with my blogs! YIKES. I started a summer class at Metro U that's online and frankly, quite demanding! I'm so excited about tonight. Jori might actually pitch an inning this game. She went to a pitching clinic on Tuesday and is ready to start tonight! After watching last week's game, I know she'll do great! It doesn't matter if the ball hits the ground or the batter in the helmet! Just keep

This is a picture of Jori as we're getting ready to go to the Children's Museum for 3rd Grade Invention Fair!


Jori's invention was the Hopper Popper. For those people who do not want to leave the movie theatre to get more butter on their bucket of popcorn -- could use her invention. Her design consisted of a salad spinner with a tube connecting to the spray bottle. You pump the salad spinner and spray the butter. Genius!

Sorry so short! Hopefully tomorrow I can get to the past 2 weekends!!
GO (South St. Paul) Packers!!!

gimme gimme

sorry you haven't seen a post in over a week - i'm awfully far behind. i pulled a muscle in my neck a week ago, started an on-line college course and continue to occupy my evenings with 9 year-old softball.

be patient and i promise the pics/words will make up for the delay.

lots-O-love,

Early Growth

Tonight, Jori was finally able to get a practice in. Jeff took her to practice and I got some yard work done:
Grabbed the gloves and my handy, dandy tool. Look at the weeds I got out of my small, front yard!!!


It was well worth it; coming around the corner I caught site of these (hopefully) beauties:



The bush in the middle is my new Burning bush. See, I told you he was perfect.

Hopefully that'll give you a glimpse into my and Jori's Tuesday. Tomorrow is our first softball game. GO PACKERS!

Easter Celebration

I got this photo today from Tina, Chris's mom. It was taken a week ago while at her farm celebrating Easter. Oma is Chris's grandma and was getting ready to go on the utility vehicle tour around the farm. The seating arrangements changed, and Courtney, Oma and I were along the back and Jori sat facing us. Good thing, too! She told us when to duck and cover. The men rode up front. (chickens!!) I wish we would have taken an after picture. Shawn drove us around and we got into quite the trouble with some pine trees and bushes. Each of us was covered in pine needles and other mysterious tree things. It was a wonderful, sun-filled day.



This is Darby! He lives on the farm, too. He looks like he's in heaven.

With love, Jeannie

The Weekend

Jori was at Jeff's this weekend. Unfortunately, they didn't get to practice softball since the Twin Citites has been gray and rainy for 4 days now. It is welcoming because the trees are getting so lush and green. Tomorrow it's supposed to be in the seventies and that'll burst all the flowers into bloom! I love Spring.

Here is a snap shot of my weekend! It was fun, relaxing, and spent with people I love:




















The man who makes the best dinner!!
Salmon, red pots, and asparagus...yummy!

















Crimes!! Gunner and Zelda solving crimes!!
















Megan helping me get the Garanimal question settled!!
**IF you know what Garanimals are, please say YES or NO - I know what they are, but Chris had never heard of them??

















Text messaging is the hottest thing! Isn't Mego cute!!

















Sunday, Chris and I went to his dad's house in WI.
I forgot my camera, but had my cell phone.
I'm struggling with getting the photo so that'll have to wait.
And finally, this is my first mac and cheese from scratch!!



Hope everyone is doing well!
