Courtney had alumni girls volleyball over the weekend. We all went up to watch and they actually played pretty good for not seeing each other for quite a while. They won a few games and really seemed to have a good time and enjoyed seeing each other again. At one time during a game with a younger team we all had to laugh because the other team took a time out to discuss their strategy and Courtney's team was busy comparing bruises! All in all it was a fun weekend!

MOA (Mall of America) Trip

I know this isn't "The" mall, I didn't take my camera over there, but I like taking pictures of the kids at the hotel, they looovvveee the pool! Except maybe Tayt, he was a little bit scared of the water but eventually got in and had fun. We all usually go the the mall in the fall but this year we thought we would switch it to spring because the weather would be nicer.....NOT....and we really don't do much Xmas shopping anyway, that part was very true! Dave and Randy took the bigger kids on rides all day and by all day I mean ALL DAY! I think they started by 10 am and we left the mall at 8 pm, they rode rides all that time...I kid you not! Randy couldn't believe it, he said he really thought they would get tired....but they didn't! I think he was probably the one who got tired! The next morning they went to the pool as soon as it opened and really enjoyed it!

A Few Misc. Pictures

I have to apologize right away because these pictures have nothing to do with each other. First off Mallory got her hair cut on Friday and she hadn't got it cut in a very, very long time so I thought I would take a before and after. The other pictures are just a more recent one of Baya, Megan's beasty dog. She just turned 10 months and we weighed her last night at 80 pounds. It was pretty hilarious watching Meg and Randy trying to get her into the bathtub for a much needed bath last night! I would have taken pictures but our bathroom is way too small for us all to get in there. And the last one is just of some deer we saw last night and it was way too dark to take a good picture so I cranked up my ISO and took it anyway. It's pretty grainy and I'm not sure why but I kind of like it.
