The Beard 2009
Some of you may have seen me with my beard the last couple of months. But for those of you that haven't, here are some pictures of the results. It was a contest I had with my brother-in-laws that we had to have a beard when we butchered pigs the friday after thanksgiving. I grew it for about two months and i hated every minute of it. But i figured being i put up with it i would have a little bit of fun when i shaved. Enjoy!!!!

Update from Colorado!
Hi Everyone,
We hope this finds everyone well and quickly getting into the holiday spirit! Nothing too exciting is going on here. We are getting used to the winter cold that has arrived and the dogs are enjoying the snow. We had a really nice Thanksgiving. Scott was in Arizona visiting his mom and sister so we all enjoyed the holiday with JJ's family. I just got back from taking Kynnedi to visit my best friend Kate (my maid of honor) in Chicago for a couple of days. We had a great time and of course Kynnedi got spoiled rotten by Kate and her mom.
Hopefully everyones Christmas shopping is coming along nicely. Here are some recent pictures.
Love from Colorado!

UPDATE FROM HOWARD
Sorry I didn't get this done yesterday. Decided to get the tree up.
Frank had a great hunting trip and I had a good visit with everyone in Howard.
Corlyn has rebounded and even got his motorized chair returned to him. Don said when he was in the hospital, they took away his med's because the doctors felt they weren't doing any good. He is still off of them and still rebounding. His speech is hard to understand at times, and of course he looks frail.
Lucile was moved home on Saturday. I know her kids are not really thrilled about this, but we all know, at her age, you have to step back and do what she wants. There is a shuttle bus in town that she can use for $.25 so hope she uses that to go back and forth to see Corlyn and get around town, especially this winter. She still is very weak, uses a walker.
Don and Joyce are doing fine. Their Tami is expecting twins. Their son (I believe Chad)was the coach of a MN highschool football team which won their division state title. They had been to the Cities for the games in the dome.
I stopped at Leo's and Jeanette's. They now live in a new house on the Golf Course in town. It is a beautiful and practical house. I can tell Jeanette is more than happy. Leo said he'd sell it to me in a heartbeat. Jeanette has a great office and seems to be busy with her computer work. Leo is still experiencing lots of health issues. Can't do his metal work and apparently not much else. He say's the doctors aren't sure exactly what is wrong (he falls often).
Bob and Christi seem to doing the same as always. Christi is still teaching a making quilts (the pieces I've seen are beautiful). Bob is retired.
Bob and Karen are fine. Karen apparently is doing great. They have plans to take a cruise to Alaska with Karen's family in July.
I am told Tom is doing fine (from Mary) and so-so (from Bob and Christi).
Now for Mary. She is the same as always. I could tell her legs are becoming weaker and she said the doctor said she can now get a motorized chair to use in the house. She's waiting to hear from the company. She said at her last doctors appointment, the doctor asked if she was having any problems. Mary told him, She's 97 and she's having problems with most things, but if there is anything she really can't handle, she'll let him know. She immediately told me that when she was up to see Corlyn, he had the Aloe Miracle rub next to his bed. She asked if he liked it and he said yes. I guess Lucile walked out of the room. Their latest battle is proving a bank statement.
Mary asked if I prove mine every month, and if so to the penney. I said I did, but didn't explain how the computer does the work for me. Well I guess Lucile records her written check by rounding off to the nearest dollar. Example, If the check is for $5.30, she records it as $5. When her statement arrives, she just adds or subtracts the difference in her book to make it balance. "Have I ever heard of anything so foolish?"
This is long, but knew you wanted an update. Please excuse any spelling or grammar errors.
Everyone, keep posting pictures and news.
Love to everyone,

Kylan's 1st Birthday
It's hard to believe its been a whole year already but our little guy turned one on Saturday. Here are a few pictures of the festivities:
Kylan's first studio pictures - he smiled the whole time!
His cousin Trae got to help open the presents but when it came time to eat cake, that piece was all his!
Love, Tina, Craig, & Kylan

Todd! Todd! Todd!
Who am I to stand between you (a young vulnerable football fan) and his love for an x-Packer, x-Jet, current Viking's quarterback. He must have some appeal, because I am forced to admit I have actually watched two entire football games this year.
However, love is fickle. I was in Wisconsin the "Day Wisconsin Cried" when Mr. Favre officially retired from the Packers. I personally witnessed grown men and women leaning up against the bar with tears streaming down their faces, and heard them declare, "It would have been easier, if he'd just died!"
So young man, enjoy! It is only a one night stand. All too soon it will be you at the bar drowning the pain of your lost love.
Who would have thought you'd have so much in common with Packer Fans?

Patti???
Patti,
My dad was wondering if you still have hard feelings for the "Purple Jesus" or have you finally jumped on the band wagon to enjoy the ride. There is still time and they would love to have a die hard Brett Favre hater, like yourself, along for the trip. Please consider a conversion to the "Favre Train" any time.
GO FAVRE GO

Happy Halloween!
Hi everyone-
We hope you all had a wonderful Halloween filled with lots of treats! We can't wait to see pictures of all of the cute costumes.
We love you!
Trick Or Treat
Here are some pictures of Kylan (puppy) and Trae (cowboy) from Halloween. Unlike most kids under the age of 21, their trick-or-treating stops included the Rock because Grandma was working. Kylan seemed to enjoy his first Halloween and now mom and dad have a good stash of candy to eat – everybody wins!
Hope everyone had as much fun as we did!

Golf at the Lake
Just checking in to let everyone know, all is well.
I thought you might enjoy these pictures of our family golf outing at the lake over Labor Day. Anna had a bad drive, until this squirrel decided to help her out. Unfortunately, he didn't move the ball closer to the green.

Great Photos - Traci's Wedding Weekend
Hey everyone! I hope this finds all of you having a great September. I am clearly late in getting these pictures posted but when looking through them I determined I must get them posted as it was an awesome weekend. I love it that this family continues to grow and even though we don't all see each as often as we used to when we meet back up it is just like before only with new babies and even more love!
All my love,
Kelli
All my love,
