THE WEEKEND OF JUNE 25 FOR THE FAMILY REUNION

GOING ONCE
GOING TWICE
GOING THREE TIMES
UNLESS SOMEONE COMES IN WITH A MAJOR CHANGE, I BELIEVE THIS WILL BE THE DATE.

Family Reunion

We are getting close to narrowing down a weekend for the family reunion!  So far it seems the majority are in favor of either the weekend of June 11th or June 25th. Any final thoughts/preferences? Post a comment and let us know.

Also, we've been brainstorming potential activities and one idea that came up was a trivia type game.

To get started:

Not Santa But a Bird Came Down Our Chimney!

Lucky for us, we have two well trained hunting dogs and a brave Anna.

Minnesota Snow Fall!

I'm sure you have all seen pictures or heard about the Metrodome.  Thought I'd send some pictures of what our place looks like.  John and Mary both slept over here.  They didn't want to deal with the city side streets.

As you can see, Nelli is the only one enjoying this.

 

Date for Family Reunion

I am hearing that everyone is in favor of a family reunion.  With every one's summers being busy, and reserving hotel rooms is an immediate concern, We have to choose a date now.  June is the month that seems to be the most popular for this event.  Cassie has to travel the farthest, Lisa and Susan Lynn face the most kids activities, most everyone has job schedules, the cousin generation face friends wedding schedules, who knows when the Norwegians may send Kevin on a mission?, Landon may still be playing football, and we all know Kathy likes to plan ahead.

Our goal will be to get as many as possible to attend, but we know there will always be conflicts with schedules.

Each of the 6 branches of the family decide on your favorite weekend.  Find a member of the family who knows how to respond to this post, and enter your date by December 12th.

Please work with me here!

Kevin: The dates for Patti's family are correct.  Thanks for providing this list for all of us.

Patti

Rhett Joseph

Hello everyone,

I wanted to share some pictures of the new addition to our family.  We went into the hospital at 1:00 A.M. on Wed. morning, and on Thursday Dec. 2nd at 4:10 P.M. Rhett Joseph was born.  He was 8 lbs. 14 ounces and was 23 inches long.  He's a pretty big boy.  We spent a couple routine days in the hospital and made it home Saturday just in time for him to watch his uncle Landon's football game on TV.  He was pretty proud.  We are now pretty settled in.  Shantelle and Rhett are doing great, Rhett and Chuck are still trying to figure each other out, and I pretty much have just been enjoying it all.

I hope everyone is doing well and hope you enjoy the pictures.

An Appeal to the Aunts

Kathy, Mary, Patti, Jake, and Audrey--

Would you mind reviewing the "Birthdays & Anniversaries" list to the right?  I want everybody's relevant dates in the list, but I'm missing some and might have entered others incorrectly.  Please e-mail me with corrections and additions at dates@iMoberg.com.

P.S. I'll accept this info from people who are not one of the Morey aunts, too, by the way!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING FROM MINNESOTA

We hope everyone has made it to their destinations.  We are having Thanksgiving dinner here with Frank's Mom and sister and plan to head to the Cabin tomorrow.  We haven't been up since the cold weather and snow so have to check and make sure everything is good. 

Love to everyone and hope you have a Happy Day!

Pat & Frank

Hello to all-

Just thought we would share a few pictures of our newest family member.  We are all doing well and adjusting to the new chaos at our house!!  The boys are very excited to have a little sister:) When we first came home they wanted to feed her some cookies, when we explained that she only drinks milk, Kaden asked where her sippy cup was so he could get her some:)   After being home awhile, Kaden asked when we get to have a boy baby, we told him he had Jordan, he then ask well when do I get a puppy and kitty then -- oh how the excitement passes quickly;)  We hope everyone is well.

Love to all,
Laura

Just Gotta Spout

I see no one is posting again so i thought I would share a little humor with everyone today.  Here is the story behind the pictures you are about to see.  When Trista was pregnant, there was a contest down at the Rock as to when she would have the baby.  Being she went so far overdue only 2 people were left.  One was a regular at the bar that is a huge Vikings fan.  He ended up winning and said he wanted one of the barmaids to find a Viking outfit and give it to Tatum and then he'd keep the rest.  The only stipulation was that, being I am a huge Jets fan, I had to take a picture of her in the outfit.  Well just so all of you Viking fans know, we Jets fans are way smarter than we look.  As you are about to see, I think i won this one!!!  Oh, and Tatum also had a major blowout in this outfit and ruined it so that was VERY fitting!!

She's Here!!!!

Well, I'm sure some of you have heard the good news, but for those who haven't . . .

F.Y.I.

Just letting everyone know that Trista . . .

Still Waiting!!!

Just thought I would update everyone as to the status of Trista and the baby.

FAMILY REUNION

All it takes is one person to post and more will follow.  Todd, we are all waiting for word from you.

Kelli makes a great point, we need to plan a Family Reunion.  I hope everyone knows that you are welcome at our cabin any time.  As Terry's family visit proved this summer, there are getting to be so many little ones, that the ligistics of everyone at one time, may prove difficult.  Not to say I'm not willing and able to entertain it.

My suggestion:

Still alive....

Hey everyone - First off I must apologize for being absent from the blog posting.  I promise that I frequently had good intentions but time always seemed to get away from me. :)  Also, I find it hard to get anything completed these days as I really enjoy sitting on the coach basking in the glow of my win on the 1st ever Morey Family NCAA bracket.  I have already started to strategize on how to win again next year and where I will spend my winnings.  :)  Speaking of which...Aunt Kathy...did our checks get lost in the mail?

Mystery Golfer

Any guesses on who this golfer might be?

Almost Time for #2

I guess I'll try to crack the ice and get some posts going. It has been a wild summer so far here in Dickinson. I have been working on remodeling the house now for over a month and things are taking shape. I still have some work to do but the hard stuff is mostly done. I will post pictures as they come available. We are also eagerly awaiting the second addition to the family.

Update from Minnesota

The blog has been quiet! Though so has life in the Dutke household. Here is an update on what has been happening.
