Pictures of my family. They live in Moorhead, Minnesota.

Mike graduating from high school in 1999 in Rapid City, SD. We had actually moved to MN at the beginning of that school year, but Mike finished it out... well, it's a confusing story, but he did get to walk with his class in Rapid City.

Mike and I at home in March 2003. Can you guess which of us plays guitar? Answer: Both and neither. More like neither.

The family! This must have been like, 1987 or something, I'm not sure.

My parents at home. Aren't they cute?

My mom in the kitchen sunlight. I LOVE this picture.

For my mom's 54th birthday in the summer of 2002, my Grandma happened to be visiting us from Kansas, and we all worked together to paint 54 flower pots and fill them with flowers. We also made a big, huge, wonderful breakfast so my mom woke up on June 8th to many of the people who love her, 54 flowers in 54 unique flower pots, and everything you could ever want in a breakfast. She is loved.

Dad painting a flower pot. I think he only painted two! Geesh. My Grandma was so hilarious about the painting - she didn't think she was any good at it and kept trying to quit! Anyway, she was trying to write "1948" on a flower pot (the year my mom was born), and she actually wrote "1984" as just a mistake. But, what's so funny, is that she wrote 1984 twice on there. We were cracking up - we're like, Grandma, what happened in 1984 that was so special? And anyway, so when we finally got to the last flower pot, I said, "Grandma, what should I write on this one?" (We had pretty much reached the end of our creativity) and she's like "write HALLELUJAH IT'S THE LAST ONE!" So that's what the 54th one says. All this to explain a blurry picture of my Dad - sorry! ;)

Grandma painting outside. Ahhh, summer.

A set of five tiny flower pots - this was Mike's idea and work.

Tommy running like the wind in the backyard. He's much chubbier and slower now, so this picture is kind of amazing, but when he gets hyper - MAN! Watch out. Our cousins used to call him "hyperdog."

Tommy howling. He's so cute.
