HOW IS THIS FOR A FULL MOON.

Taken by Anna last weekend at the cabin

UPDATE FROM PATTI

Thought I'd better post something here, just in case someone is out there and still reading it in their leisure time.

As summer is wrapping up quickly I thought I would post a few pictures, especially for the non-facebookers out there. I hope everyone is having a great summer & good luck with the start of the school year next week!

Summer storms

Crazy Minnesota weather is back in full swing after a rather calm start to our summer. On Monday night a storm with 80 to 90 mph winds took out several trees around our home. Fortunatly, our yard was untouched. Joe is benefiting from all the down trees though and has been staying busy all week removing them.

Parker Joseph Morey

Hi Everyone!
       We just got home from seeing our new Grandson. I must say he is as cute as his papa. Everyone is doing well and Lindsey and Mike are as proud as can be. He was born weighing in at 7lbs 12oz. and 21" long. Audrey took a few pictures so here is a couple and I'm sure there will be more to follow. Take Care and we miss you all!     Love Papa Morey!

Beginning of Summer

Summer is off to a great start here in MN! Everyone managed to make it up to the cabin for some portion of Memorial Day weekend to enjoy some boating, fishing, and golfing as we kicked off our 10th summer of having the cabin (time flies!). Although with all the different work schedules we only ended up having one night (Sunday) with everyone together.

An Invitation and a Gustafson Update

Suzanna is getting confirmed on Sunday, May 6! The confirmation service starts at 10:30 A.M. Afterwards, we've reserved the basement of the church, so we've got plenty of room, and you know we'll have plenty of food--you're all invited to join us for lunch! :-) I sent out invitations to the family members who live in town, but wanted everyone else to know you're welcome, too.

Since no one in our family has updated anyone for a while, here's what's been going on, mostly:

Wedding Pre & Post Activities

Hello everyone, my mom has asked me to post this message due to her age and lack of technological skills (shes gonna kill me for that).

On Friday, May 11th, everyone that is not busy with the rehersal is invited up to the Comfort Inn.  The kids can all go swimming while the adults enjoy conversation and cocktails.  For those not staying at the hotel for the weekend, my mom has reserved a couple rooms for everyone to use as needed.  She even mentioned something about the grandma's watching the kids later in the evening so we could head out for a few night caps.

On Sunday, May 13th, everyone is invited over to Pat & Kathy's around 11:00 for coffee, rolls and maybe even a pot of sausage and dumplings (not that Kelli would want that).  Don't feel that you have to make it, especially if you plan on leaving early that morning.

As for now, those are all of the announcements I have.  Other than that for those who are unaware, the Los Angeles Dodgers are 16-6 and the Minnesota twins are 6-15, haha.

Congratulations, Landon and Stephanie!

Easter and More

Hey all, here are some pictures that i have been meaning to put on here for a few weeks.  The kids are enjoying the nice weather we have had and like all of your kids, cant get enough of the park.  I am busy umping baseball and softball right now, for some reason i must enjoy the abuse.  Trista is coaching junior high track and getting ready to run another half marathon in Fargo in may.  Hope everyone is having a good spring and looking forward to the wedding!!!

 All ready for church and Tatum's "cheese" face

 Enjoying the bean bag at the library... when she wasnt trying to take all the books off the shelves

 Holding a baby of a friend of ours, she thought she was something else

 Ready to go to the community center to go swimming...snow boots were a nice accessory

 Thought she needed to sleep on the toy box...the butt in the air was a nice touch

 Trae holding the baby as well

Riding their great-grandpas scooter around the living room

Ready to go to church on Easter Sunday

Bears!

One of the perks of working in a zoo is being able to watch the animals before the crowds show up. I thought some of you might enjoy the videos of the bears I took this morning before my class.

Patti added:  I just wanted to point out, that the second video is of the Bears from Minot, as you can see, they are enjoying their stay in MN.  Anna says there is still no time frame for their returning to Minot.

Happy Memories

I fondly remember the Morey family get-togethers at Grandma Morey's home and immediately flashed back to them when I saw the card below.  I remember a few of these workouts while sitting around her kitchen table.  Happy memories of good times with great people!
