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.

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!!!

Fisher Update

Sorry for not updating more often.  I will try to be a little more active on here again and agree with Aunt Jake that we ALL should be.  Things are busy around here as usual and the kids are growing as fast as our former "little" town is.  The weather has been unreal around here, but after the last few winters we derserved it.  We are looking forward to seeing everyone in May.  I hope everyone elses kids got a bunch of sugar for Valentines Day like ours did.  Im fairly certain it was a dentist that invented this day cuz he was hurting for business.  Have a great rest of the week.

They may look cute and innocent, but looks can be deceiving 

Trae and his pose for GQ magazine, were gonna have to work on the props

Halloween and a little more

Sorry about being a little behind but i am finally getting a little time to post some pictures.  We didnt get a whole lot from Halloween but as you can see we had a horse and a flower.  Tatum was not quite sure what to think about it all, but as always enjoyed the candy.  Trae likes halloween, however, he was scared to go door to door cuz he was afraid they might have dogs.  So all in all i would say halloween is not one of our favorite holidays yet.

Some of you may have heard already, but on Veterans Day Trista went to the park with the kids.  She had Tatum on her lap to go down the slide and Trae was behind.  On their way down Tatums foot got caught under Trista and twisted a little bit.  I was on my way back from Fargo, so she took her to the clinic and they deteremined she had a spiral fracture of the tibia.  We then took her to an orthopedic doctor thinking she would need a cast but he said it would not be necessary.  Due to her age, she heals so fast that it would heal before a cast would do any good.  We go back this Wednesday for a check up and hopefully they will tell us it is healed and she can walk on it again.  Lets just say this was harder on us than her, she has been a trooper the whole time.

Well we hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and look forward to seeing any family that comes back this winter.

Getting ready to head out and trick-or-treat

Waiting in the orthopedic doctors office and Tatum was bored so she wanted to wear dad's safety glasses

Showing off her splint they put her in, this is also her "cheese" face

Trae wanted a picture taken too, but would not smile for it

Had to throw this in.  Can you tell which one is which??  pretty scary, this one is Tatum

This is Trae

Some of you saw this on facebook, but here is Traes farm we set up the other day.  Its a little extreme and yes that is an exotic animal exhibit to the north!!

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:

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!!!!

Picks Due THURSDAY!!!

Just to let everyone know, you have until THURSDAY at 10:00 A.M. MST to get your picks in.

NCAA Pool is Set Up

Okay, everyone, the pool is set up through Yahoo.com again.  Those who were in last year should have gotten an email and a link to follow to get to it.  Those who were not in last year must have or create a Yahoo! account and then to Yahoo! sports and find the NCAA bracket pool link.  When you get there, choose to join a private pool, and this is the info you will need:

A Few Pics

Hey everyone, I've been meaning to post pictures for awhile now but keep forgeting.  There are a lot more but this is what i had on my phone so I thought I would put them on for now.  Tatum is growing fast and is measuring at or off of most of the charts.  It's hard to believe 5 months has passed already, but its also hard to believe Trae is 3.5 already too.  Trae is enjoying being a big brother and is anxiously awaiting when Tatum can play with him.  We are looking forward to the snow melting and then the reunion to see you all.  We hope you have a great rest of the week and stay warm!!!

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.

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.

News from Howard

Well - I am sad to have to post this but wanted everyone to know as soon as possible. Bob Johnston called me a t 5:00 AM today (Saturday May 29th) - Corlyn passed away. He had been failing the last few days but last time he had rallied and they were hoping for the same thing, but God had other plans. The funeral will be Monday at 2:00 in Howard. I will make sure we have flowers there. Pat & I and Patti & Frank and Jake and Scott are all still planning on going for the weekend. We are all thinking we will be there for prayers on Sunday night but will probably head home Monday morning before the funeral. I really don't know what else to say, but wanted you all to know. I will let you know how the trip goes.

Corlyn's Birthday

Calling all Morey grandchildren - Corlyn Johnston will be turning 90 years old June 2nd. Lucille and the kids are having a party for him on Sunday May 30th. Pat and I are going down and Patti and Frank are coming over and hopefully Jake and Scott. I thought it would be nice if all you grandkids would send a card off to Corlyn either to get there before Sunday or at least in time for his birthday. Maybe just a short note and a picture of you and your families if possible. If anyone wants us to take them with us just let me know by Friday. Sorry I didn't get this posted any sooner with moving and everything I feel like I would forget my head if it wasn't attached. I will share photos when I get back. Love Aunt Kathy
