Wedding news!!!

Hello everyone! Sorry it has taken me so long to get this posted. Apparently I have lost my timely manners and have taken on Tori's procrastinating!! The wedding is quickly approaching and I really wanted to get some important information out to all of you. The wedding is set for Saturday, August 22nd at 4pm at Gooseberry Park in Moorhead. There is a block of rooms set aside at the Howard Johnson in downtown Fargo. Please try to make reservations if you need to. The wedding block under Fisher/Barnum will be released the first weekend in August. So if you need rooms, please make them as soon as possible. The number is 701.232.8850 and the address is 301 3rd Ave N Fargo.

Also, if you have not talked to my mom, we are planning to reserve the banquet room at the Howard Johnson for friday night. There will be food and a bar available so we can all hang out together without worrying about getting anyone a babysitter (for all of you who decided to have kids before my wedding!!). The reception on Saturday night is going to be at the Civic Center at 8:30pm, which is just across the street from the hotel.

The Park is very easy to get to. Here are some directions:

Head east out of the Howard Johnson Parking lot toward 2nd Street North
Turn right at 2nd street North (heading south)
Turn left at Main St/US-10 going into Minnesota
Turn right at 4th St South (heading south). At 1st Ave S this will turn into a One-way South
Turn right at 22nd Ave South. The road will dead end and there will be a sign.

Note: On the way back to the hotel turn left on 5th St which is a One-way going North.
If you need a map, just use google maps and enter the Howard Johnson and Gooseberry Mound Park.

Sorry this took me so long to get on here...but you all know what its like to plan a wedding!! I hope everyone can make it and we will see you all soon.

Love, Traci and Tori

Cabin gathering

Hi everyone,
I thought I should post a few of the pictures from the Morey's visit to the cabin. Based on the smiles I think it is safe to say everyone had a good time! A video will be coming soon once we figure out how to get it from the camera to the computer and then on to here:) Stay tuned!

We can't wait to see everyone in August!

Question?

Frank's mom was sent this aerial shot of Dickinson. She is wondering where this is.

Thanks
Patti

Patti,

The photographer is right above the Heart River and aiming his/her camera southeasterly. This cul-de-sac is on the south bank of the river between Hwy. 22 and State Ave., and it's just north of Spruce St. Here's a map (you can zoom in and out and slide side to side or up and down):

Summer Time Photos

Hi Everyone!

I am bummed to admit that this is the last week of my 12 week maternity leave. I know that life will get a bit more hectic once I return to work so I have been trying to get lots of little stuff done this week. With that being said I wanted to share a few new pictures of Kynnedi. She is quickly getting used to living at Grandma's and getting spoiled rotten. :) We hope everyone is having a great summer!

Love,

Kelli

New Pics

Hello everyone, just thought i would post some new pictures of Trae. We should have some more in a few days being he will be having is 2nd B-Day party this Saturday. He is still a very active and very fun little man. We are starting to become VERY independent and learning how to throw some great tantrums. Trae still has a severe obsession with horses and will be having a 'horse' themed party this weekend. He got to ride a couple horses over the forth of july and thought that was pretty neat. Trista is now done with graduate school and has had the summer off if you can call it that. Due to some circumstances at daycare, Trae has had to be at home until he turns 2 so some days i think she wants to pull her hair out. She does enjoy it though but it will be nice when she can at least take him to daycare a couple days during the week. I have been busy with work and now with the clean-up of the tornado. Overall just another busy summer which im sure everyone else is familiar with. We can't wait to see you all in August.

Trae thinks he's a little too cool for his own good

Braved up enough to hold one of the farm cats at Trista's parents farm

He got to go to his first rodeo and as you can see, i don't think he blinked very often

Playing with toys at his Grandpa and Grandma Riehl's

Also got to go to his first carnival, the carousel is his favorite by far

When we were moving Tina out of her house to her new one, Trae thought he was moving too

He got to ride Babe the Blue Ox at Storybook Land in Aberdeen

Still smiling even though its bed time

Tornado hits south Dickinson

As most of you have probably aleady heard, south Dickinson was hit by a tornado on wednesday night. they have said that the winds were up to 150 mph which put the twister at a level of 3. There is extensive damage to a few homes and the paper has stated that over 20 homes have already been declared uninhabitable. The storm hit right by the river and looks like it started by the softball diamonds and then split into two different tornadoes. It was reported that no one was killed and only a few were treated and released. Here are a few of the pictures that i got but there are many more out there. you can also go to:

A light pole layed over just across the street from consolidated

A home on the east side of highway 22

Another home in the same area

A garage in the same area, all of the sides are blow out and the roof is laying on the cars

South side softball diamonds. That tree row of cottonwoods used to be full and lush. You could not see through those trees before the storm.

There is actually a pick up underneath that camper
