ADDRESS UPDATES!

Hey Everyone,

Steph and I are just working on putting together out guest lists for the wedding and were looking for a little help. We would greatly appreciate it if one person from each family (possibly the Aunts) could e-mail me everyones updated addresses at landon.smith@ndsu.edu. We look forward to seeing everyone there!

Thanks again for the help,

Landon

End of Summer Update

While we were printing photos for my mom to take to South Dakota, we were reminded that everyone still needs to upload their photos to http://www.yogile.com/moreyfamily. We'll be using them to create a special book - so do try to upload your photos soon!!!

Also, Cody, Christy, Matthew, Katie, Terry, and Audrey did make a visit to the cabin this year. As you can see below, everyone had a wonderful time. And yes my parents need to be grandparents. But I think I can speak for my siblings in saying we are all grateful they get to share everyone else's grandkids for the time being:) Christy and Audrey - We'll be sending you guys a CD with the rest of the pictures - don't worry!

And finally, some final pictures of the stars of the show I did this summer. As the Moreys and Fishers know, they were a handful and managed to make my coworkers and me look like fools on a daily basis. But they did provide entertainment regardless of the destruction, so I'll call it a success.

Chasing after & freeing the ducks happened regularly

Towels were pretty much the only thing that kept her occupied and away from destroying our props during the show.

Pretty typical - why not scratch your butt while hundreds of people watched?

It was way easier to get them to paint than to get them to walk some-what decently in public (our only definition of decent was to not plow over visitors. Somewhat decent was to at least stop right before following through with the act of doing so. No they never managed to plow into anyone but yes they managed to make kids cry who feared they would.)

Hopefully everyone had a great summer & good luck to everyone who has headed back to school!

Don't forget to post pictures from the reunion & an update on here would be nice too:)

CASSIE AND NICK, WE ARE ALL WAITING TO HEAR HOW YOU ARE DOING?

YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS UP!

I thought you might enjoy this, especially Matthew who is Nelli's best friend.  Last night, we had another (of many) storms.  Nelli headed for the basement, and when Anna went to look for her, found her sitting in the basement shower.  As the evening and storm progressed, she collected her favorite toys and a couple of Zoey's and moved them to safety.

Wedding Date has Changed!!!!!

Hello everyone,

Just letting everyone know that Landon and Steph's wedding date has been changed to May 12. 

Can't wait for the whole gang to get together again:)

Hope all is well with everyone -- post picture updates -- would love to hear from everyone!

Love,
Laura

Independence Day Update

I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July! 

We had a good 4th of July with everyone being able to make it up to the cabin for some portion of it. The weekend started off pretty eventful though with a huge storm on Friday night. John had headed home to work that evening and ended up driving through majority of it. Luckily he made it through & was able to call and warn Joe & I to get everything secure and head for shelter. Shortly after his call and a phone call from my mom with the same warning, storm clouds began rolling in fast. By the time we got the boats on the lifts and the water sport gear inside the blue sky had turned a dark shade of green. Within minutes of getting up to the cabin the power went out & strong winds started (they were strong enough to nearly knock Joe off his feet while trying to make it back to the guest cabin where his friend was) so we headed for the basement where we hung out from 7:30 until about 10:30 when the second wave of the storm blew over. The next day on our way home we saw the damage - several tornadoes had came through the area, with a few small ones in areas around the cabin. Fortunate for us, our cabin & property escaped without any damage and were one of the first areas to regain power mid-morning on Saturday.

Great Pictures

Well as soon as I can get Kelli to help me I will add my pictures - but I think Kyle, Caden and Jordan win for the best wrestling tag team - Peyton didn't have a chance!  Also I think we have found the next NFL rookie quarterback - Kelli shows real potential! (#8555 & 8557).  I will keep checking for everyone else's photos!

Love to all   Jake

Family Reunion Photos

Please click on photo to enlarge it.

I started uploading photos onto this site: http://www.yogile.com/moreyfamily.  I am going to change the account tonight so that we will be able to upload as many photos as we'd like.  Everyone can upload their photos directly to this album without making an account (if when uploading it asks you to do so, just look for the "not now" or "ignore" option to skip the registering process and continue uploading). The album may be at full capacity right now, so you should wait until tonight to try to upload your photos.

Tentative Schedule for the Reunion

My mom has asked me to put up a little info on here regarding the reunion.  Some of this may change, but here is what is planned so far:

Quick Update from Colorado

Hey Everyone - I decided I needed to post some new pictures.  Everyone here in Colorado is doing well and keeping very busy between work and fun.  My mom seems to like her new job, but I don't think she enjoys the commute.  :(

JJ and I have both been very busy between work and the house.  The good news is that we are in the final stages - we are all very excited that we will be living there in a couple of months and finally able to enjoy all of Scott's hard work. :)  We all know that Kynnedi and the dogs are going to absolutely love not living in the apartment anymore - woohoo!

We have all been enjoying summer so far.  We went camping and fishing on Memorial Weekend and we are heading to Wyoming this coming weekend for a weekend of camping and boating.

Summer Time: Let the Good Times Roll!

Hi Everyone,
    Just a few pictures of what summer has been so far. We're looking forward to seeing everyone in a couple weeks. Stay healthy and happy and travel safe. See you all soon.

Golf Anyone?

Just checking to see who would all be interested in playing some golf on the Friday of the reunion.  Nick asked about going out to Bully Pullpit in Medora but it is flooded and doesnt look good for being open.  Therefore, we are currently planning on playing here in Dickinson at Heart River.  If anyone is interested in joining us just post on here or text me so i know how many tee times to get.  Also let me know what time works best for everyone.

Hotel Rooms for the Reunion

If anyone is still in need of a room for the reunion in a few weeks, you must do so by tonight.  The hotel has asked that we reserve what we need so they can open the rest up.  There are still 3 rooms reserved under our block so if you need one make sure you call tonight.  They are reserved at the Quality Inn and the phone number is 701-225-9510.  Can't wait to see everyone in 24 days!!!!

Update from Howard

I talked to both Joyce Johnston and Bob Remacle this evening.  Lucile is not doing very well.  She is now in the Nursing Home in Howard.  She is paralyzed on her left side, has very little vision, and is on a feeding tube.  Joyce said at times she is responsive to the conversation and still shows some humor.  The doctors say it is hard to know what the future will bring.  Bob says Mary is doing fine.  He took her up to see Lucile this week, and one of the first things Mary said to Lucile was that her hair was finally its natural color,  Lucile replied yes, Grey!  I told Joyce to tell Lucile we are all thinking of her.  Keep her in your prayers.

Tornado Missed Us

Just wanted everyone to know that the tornado was not in our area.  Anna was working at the Zoo, She spent an hour in the basement with a birthday party group.  They had to get everyone in the Zoo to shelter.  I have to admit that I hadn't even heard it hit until Anna came home.  I was amazed, when I finally watched the late news and saw the distruction.

Patti

From Minnesota

Jake is right, the blog has been too quiet, and we all know I'm usually not the quiet type.  As the rest of you, we have all been busy here.  With the cold (yet to come) Spring, we are behind in getting the cabin ready for the season.  The new pontoon is in the water, "Mom's Dinghy" is parked waiting to be cleaned and launched, and the Ski boat needs to be picked up from storage.

Way Too Quiet!

Hello to everyone!  I know everyone is busy, and I am just as guilty, but it has been way too quiet on this blog - is anyone out there!!  If it wasn't for Kevin keeping us informed on the Moberg family, we wouldn't know anything!

Save the Date

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to let you know that Landon and Steph have set the date ---  August 4.

Love,
Laura

Just an update

Hello everyone,

First of all I want to tell Susan and Abigail that you are in our thoughts and prayers.  Braxton also suffers from migrane headaches.

Second, I mentioned that I would let everyone know when Landon got engaged --- well it FINALLY happened over Easter:)  They have not set a date but are thinking it will be late next summer.  So keep your calendars open as it will be fun to have a reason to get together again next summer! 

We are excited to see everyone in June.

Love to all,
Laura
